Connelly arrived at 17 teams using Ceasar’s Palace’s sportsbook odds for teams that are +10000 to win the title. He then “sorted by the number of “ifs” it takes to make each a true title contender.” The Miami football team, fairly, came in the last category with five “what ifs” to win the national championship.
Connelly wisely didn’t go with the obvious what ifs for each team. Almost every major college football team needs their QB and roster healthy, especially before a big game. or examine the teams’ schedules. Connelly stated his examination of the 17 teams in the hunt for a national championship is focused on the rosters.
