Oregon, Baylor gaining on Alabama in BCS National Championship odds

The Ducks and Bears saw their title odds improve this week.

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports

Alabama’s national championship odds decreased slightly this week to 19/10, but the Crimson Tide remain the favorites to win the title. Oregon and Baylor are gaining on them, though. The Ducks’ odds improved from 15/4 in Week 6 to 7/2, while the Bears’ odds jumped from 25/1 to 10/1. That gives the Bears the fourth-best odds of winning the BCS National Championship at this point.

Marcus Mariota remains the heavy favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, with 8/5 odds. The top of the Heisman odds list is littered with quarterbacks; following Mariota is Johnny Manziel and Tajh Boyd, who both have 6/1 odds. Teddy Bridgewater and Jameis Winston round out the top five.
