College Football Playoff betting storylines: Public heavily invested in Ohio State

Bookmakers estimate 90% of the action on the opening round of the College Football Playoff will be placed this week, ahead of the four on-campus games that kick off Friday. The games begin with an in-state tilt featuring the popular underdog Indiana Hoosiers and culminate with a potential redemption game for the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday night at the Horseshoe.

Point spreads opened last week when the CFP bracket was released and have held mostly steady, with the higher seeds -- Texas Longhorns, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Penn State Nittany Lions and Ohio State Buckeyes -- favored by a least a touchdown.
