Ohio State is the Favorite for the National Championship
The Buckeyes are on top once again. Well, at least according to the oddsmakers.
Ohio State made a jump to the top after Las Vegas betting site Bovada released its updated College Football Playoff National Championship odds on Monday.
When Bovada put out initial odds in mid-January, the Scarlet and Gray were listed at 12/1 to take home the national championship trophy. Now OSU has been bumped up to 6/1, ahead of both participants in last year’s National Championship Game, Alabama and Clemson, and everyone else.
This may come as a surprise to some as the Buckeyes are expected to go through a bit of a rebuild heading into 2016. Ohio State loses its leading rusher, its top three receivers, and four of the team’s top five tacklers from a year ago.
With the way Urban Meyer recruits and how the coaches have developed players over the last several years, it’s no surprise betters liked the initial 12/1 odds that likely drove OSU to the top.
The rest of the top contenders for the national championship according to Bovada are Alabama (7/1) Clemson (15/2), Michigan (15/2), Oklahoma (14/1), LSU (14/1), and Tennessee (14/1). The Scarlet and Gray will play both the Sooners (Sept. 17) and the Wolverines (Nov. 26) in 2016.
