The day after locking down another national championship, the Alabama Crimson Tide are already being labeled as a favorite to win next season’s college football national championship. I know, shocking. Right?
The initial betting odds from Westgate Las Vegas Superbook tab Alabama at 6/1 to win next season’s national championship, followed by Clemson and Oklahoma at 7/1. Despite the number of players leaving early for the NFL Draft, Ohio State is next in line at 10/1. Of the top 12 teams given odds by the sports book, three are from the SEC, and the ACC, Big 12 and Big Ten each have two and Notre Dame enters the mix as well. Sorry Pac-12 fans.
