Fresh off of the Saturday afternoon victory at Michigan State, the Ohio State Buckeyes stay at 20-to-1 odds to win the national title, according to Bovada.
Those odds are the same as last week’s for OSU, and are good enough for sixth-best in the country. Alabama still leads at 5-to-13, with Clemson gaining a little momentum in this week’s batch of listings after a convincing win at Boston College. The Tigers have the second-best odds at 9-to-2, an increase from last Monday’s listing of 5-to-1.
Michigan and Notre Dame both are tied for third at 13-to-2. However, Notre Dame picked up larger odds after their victory at home against Florida State. Entering Week 11, ND had slightly better forecasts at 11-to-2.
Georgia pulled away from OSU this week, and is the outright fifth-best team on the odds circuit; after defeating Auburn, the Bulldogs hold 18-to-1 chances. Prior to that win, they were slightly back at 20-to-1.
Below is a table with the 10 teams with the best title odds.

Team | Last Week's Odds (11/5/18) | Current Odds (11/12/18) |
Alabama | 5/13 | 5/13 |
Clemson | 5/1 | 9/2 |
Michigan | 13/2 | 13/2 |
Notre Dame | 11/2 | 13/2 |
Georgia | 20/1 | 18/1 |
Ohio State | 20/1 | 20/1 |

On the Heisman front, quarterback Dwayne Haskins has taken a steep drop. He’s no longer a top-three favorite, sliding from 14-to-1 odds to 100-to-1. That listing puts him in eighth, tied with UCF’s McKenzie Milton.
Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama’s QB, is still the runaway favorite at 2-to-9, even though he took a small decline after the shutout win against Mississippi State. Tagovailoa has been shaken up in recent weeks with a leg injury, so that may explain why he’s losing a little ground in Bovada’s eyes. Big 12 signal-callers Kyler Murray and Will Grier follow behind at No. 2 and No. 3 with 5-to-1 and 7-to-1 odds, respectively.
