Ohio State retreats as Utah gains before first playoff rankings

Covers reports Kalshi make-the-playoff prices moved sharply ahead of the first College Football Playoff rankings on November 3, with Ohio State down 22 points to 56 percent after its loss at USC.

Kalshi’s College Football Playoff qualification prices shifted sharply ahead of the first rankings on November 3, according to Covers. Ohio State fell 22 percentage points to 56 percent after its loss at USC.

Utah and Ole Miss move higher

Utah moved in the opposite direction, climbing 13 percentage points to 69 percent. That put its make-the-playoff price above Ohio State’s ahead of the rankings release.

Ole Miss also gained substantially, rising 12 percentage points to 53 percent, according to Covers. Its price remained below Ohio State’s despite the contrasting moves.

Miami leads the field

Miami led at 96 percent, while Georgia stood at 91 percent. Covers’ report, published Nov 3, 2026, at 8:00 AM ET, placed both well above Utah, Ohio State and Ole Miss.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Ohio State’s 22-point decline following the USC loss marks a substantial reassessment of its playoff prospects, though its price remained above 50 percent.
  • Utah’s 13-point rise and Ole Miss’s 12-point increase show that the pre-rankings repricing extended beyond Ohio State.
  • The first rankings offer the next reference point for these markets. The reported prices reflect expectations ahead of that release, not confirmed playoff places.
