If you got Ohio State at 14-1 to win the national title, take a bow. (And then cut me in.)
Seems hard to remember when the betting public was skeptical of Ryan Day and Justin Fields replacing Urban Meyer and Dwayne Haskins, but those were the odds to start the season.
Fun fact: They dropped to 10-1 around the time the Buckeyes put 28 points on Lane Kiffin's Florida Atlantic team in the first nine minutes of the opener. Now an Ohio State title pays only 2-1 (+200).
Other notables: Alabama +300, Clemson +340, LSU +400, Georgia +1,000, Penn State +1,200, Oklahoma +1,800, Oregon +2,000, Minnesota +12,000 and Michigan +45,000(!).
I'd take Clemson. The College Football Playoff committee did coach Dabo Swinney a solid by ranking the Tigers fifth this week.
