Alabama is now the sole betting favorite to win the national championship

The Crimson Tide are rising up the board each week.

Marvin Gentry-USA TODAY Sports

After dominating Mississippi State to move to 9-1 on the season, Alabama is now the sole betting favorite to win the national championship, according to Bovada. The Crimson Tide continue to rise up the ranks in the eyes of the oddsmakers, pulling even with Ohio State last week for the first time all season, and pulling ahead this week.

Clemson holds steady in third place, but the big news is at No. 4, where the oddsmakers think Notre Dame has a better chance to win the national title than Oklahoma, which is tied with Oklahoma State. Our Jason Kirk has Notre Dame ahead of Oklahoma in his College Football Playoff and bowl projections.

The Big Ten and Big 12 lead with four teams on the board. The SEC and ACC both have two, while Houston is the only group of five team represented. The Pac-12 has no teams on the board, as it has been all but eliminated from the Playoff, with both Stanford and Utah losing this week.
