Last weekend saw two top five teams go down, and the gambling odds got a bit of a shake up.
Bovada now has the following odds for who will end the season as the college football champion:
Oklahoma/+400
Alabama/+425
Clemson/+425
Auburn/+425
Georgia/+700
Ohio State/+700
Wisconsin/+900
Miami/+1,600
USC/+10,000
TCU/+10,000
It makes sense for Oklahoma to be favored right now. They have the easiest path to the playoff, and they’re playing the best football in America so far.
Taking Alabama at any number is very risky because they need help getting in. You could easily be tossing your money away without a chance if you’re risky enough to bet on them.
On the other hand, you could get some huge value if you bet on USC and the Trojans found a way to slip in. Wisconsin +900 is also a great value pick, especially given their path ahead of them. I’m definitely going to be taking a hard look at putting some money on that.
Best of luck betting down the stretch.
