The 2023-24 college football schedule features interesting matchups from mid-December through the CFP National Championship on January 8. While the top 10 games will get the most attention, there are also exciting matchups between Power 5 and Group of 5 teams.

However, they are a 12.5-point underdog to the Jayhawks in the 2023-24 college football odds from SportsLine’s consensus.
Another such matchup pits No. 8 Oregon versus No. 23 Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Day. Should you trust the Ducks to cover a 16-point spread when placing your bets on college football?

Top college football predictions for bowl season
One college football player is opting to model high during bowl season: No. 10 Penn State (-3.5) easily covers against No. 11 Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl on Dec. 30 at noon ET. The Nittany Lions showed no signs of disappointment after narrowly losing to Michigan in mid-November, bouncing back with 21-point wins over Rutgers and a 42-0 win at Michigan State. They are in the midst of a remarkable stretch against the spread, covering a 15-3-1 clip in their last 19 games.
Penn State also snapped an eight-game winning streak in December and has reeled off 20 straight straight wins as the favorite, so all directions point toward the Nittany Lions in this matchup. They have a balanced offense, with quarterback Drew Allard throwing for 23 touchdowns and one interception, while running backs Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton have combined for over 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns. The SportsLine model expects their success to continue against Ole Miss, with Penn State covering nearly 70% of the simulations.
Another prediction: No. 8 Oregon State (-16) cruises to a blowout win over No. 23 Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1 at 1 p.m. Liberty added to an impressive undefeated regular season with a 49-35 win over New Mexico State in the Conference USA title game. However, the Flames have not faced a ranked team during the regular season, and their defense has allowed at least 25 points in their last three games.
Oregon’s offense has been among the best in college football all season, averaging 44.2 points under the guidance of Heisman Trophy candidate Beau Nix. The fifth-year senior quarterback racked up 4,145 yards, 40 touchdowns and just three interceptions. Oregon State has covered the spread at a 9-3-1 clip this season and has much more talent than Liberty, which is why the Ducks have covered it on nearly 60% of the simulations.
