After they got their first ranked win of the season, the Ohio State Buckeyes nudged their National Championship odds upwards. Bovada released a new set of odds on Monday, and the Buckeyes moved up from 8-to-1 odds to 13-to-2 odds.

Those odds are the third best in college football and only trail Alabama Crimson Tide and Clemson Tigers. After annihilating Ole Miss 62-7, the Tide now has 19-to-10 odds—the best in the country. The Tigers held serve, coming in at 5-to-1 for the second straight week.

Below are the list of the 10 teams with the best odds to win the national title.

LSU 40/1 25/1

On the Heisman odds board, OSU quarterback Dwayne Haskins is still a top-3 contender. However, his odds dipped just a smidge for the second week in a row. The 344-yard passing clinic against the Horned Frogs didn’t elevate his chances apparently, as Haskins now sits at a 7-to-1 shot. Last week after picking apart Rutgers, he was at 13-to-2 odds.

As Alabama surges, the Heisman Trophy odds increased for their starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa. His odds are now 3-to-2, an increase from 10-to-3 last week. Behind him is West Virginia QB Will Grier. Like Haskins, Grier saw a dip in his odds as well, as he fell to 13-to-2 odds.
