Sure, the college football season just came to a conclusion Monday night after Alabama knocked off Clemson for their 16th national championship, and fourth in seven years, but we already have odds for the next one.
And of course, wouldn’t you know it, Alabama is at the top of the list at 7-1, tied with the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Behind the Crimson Tide and the Buckeyes come Baylor, Ole Miss, and Stanford at 11-1 odds. The national championship runners-ups, the Clemson Tigers, come in at 12-1 and are closely followed by Leonard Fournette’s LSU Tigers at 14-1.
Tennessee, who is favored to win the SEC East, has 18-1 odds, good for 10th-best among all teams listed. The Vols are just ahead of Michigan, who comes in at 20-1 and expected to compete with Ohio State atop the Big Ten East.
