College Football Playoff Picks, Predictions: Why to Parlay Indiana, BYU & UCLA

Following a historic weekend where five of the top seven teams in the AP Poll fell, a midseason parlay suggests backing Indiana, BYU, and UCLA. Based on ESPN FPI estimates, a three-team playoff entry for this group would be +335, while Kalshi markets price it around +265.

PlayoffStatus.com provides more optimistic percentages: 60% for the Hoosiers, 70% for the Cougars, and 57% for the Bruins.

These teams face only three ranked opponents in their final 17 combined games, including matchups against No. 16 USC for Indiana and UCLA, and BYU's trip to Utah on November 7.

The outlook is positive due to projected instability among top teams, such as Ohio State lacking Julian Sayin. Additionally, Indiana's Curt Cignetti has a 33-3 record and two titles, while BYU's Kalani Sitake has led the Cougars to a 29-4 record in their last 33 games and a No.

2 ranking.
