College Football Playoff: Hypothetical betting lines based on second rankings

If the 2021 college football season ended today, the College Football Playoff field of 4 would be Georgia, Alabama, Oregon and Ohio State.
The CFP selection committee’s second top 4 of the 2021 season kept Georgia and Alabama in the top two spots but Michigan State’s loss to Purdue led to some changes. Oregon and Ohio State moved up to Nos. 4 and 5 while the Spartans fell to No. 7 behind a Michigan team it beat earlier in the season.
The CFP rankings will almost certainly change again, but Sports Betting Dime has shared hypothetical betting lines if the semifinals were held based on the current top 4. The Dawgs and Crimson Tide would each be single-digit favorites, according to the online sportsbook.
No. 1 Georgia vs No. 4 Ohio State: Georgia -6.0
No. 2 Alabama vs No. 3 Oregon: Alabama -8.5
