It's official: Alabama would be double-digit favorites over any other team in the country
The Alabama Crimson Tide are 4-0 and look every bit like a No. 1 team in the country should look, dominating foes and playing nearly flawless football.
They’re the clear top squad in the nation, and hypothetical College Football Playoff matchups have the Tide favored by at least 10 points over any other team in the country.
As you can see below, Golden Nugget LV has the Ohio State Buckeyes as the team that could potentially keep it closest with the Tide, but they’d open the hypothetical game as 10-point underdogs:
CFB National Championship lookahead lines from the @GoldenNuggetLV:
Alabama -10 vs Ohio State
Alabama -11 vs Georgia
Alabama -12 vs Clemson
Alabama -17 vs Oklahoma— OddsShark (@OddsShark) September 24, 2018
With QB Tua Tagovailoa at the helm, the Tide have added an elite offense to their already elite defense.
What’s the limit of the Tide’s dominance? We may not find out if Nick Saban’s crew goes undefeated this year.
