I have always been a big fan of betting college football futures. Out of all the sports, I believe college football offers the most value in the futures market. That means more longer shots cashing at higher odds. 

When searching for longshot bets in college football, a couple of things I look for are experience, a favorable schedule and stability at the quarterback position. Teams that possess a couple of those traits have the ability to surprise. 

Here are my favorite longshot bets in college football entering the 2025 season, from the TCU Horned Frogs to the Air Force Falcons and a surprise Heisman pick.
