Best title odds for 2016 CFB Playoff goes to the reigning national champ
Published:
Westgate Las Vegas Superbook, one of the largest in the world, released its title odds for the 2016 College Football Playoff on Monday morning, and you can probably take a wild guess on which team holds the best chance to win the championship.
Reigning national champion Alabama was dubbed the odds-on favorite to win this upcoming season’s title game, as the sportsbook gave the Tide 6-1 odds. That comes despite the loss of quarterback Jacob Coker, offensive linemen Ryan Kelly and Dominick Johnson, Heisman-winning running back Derrick Henry, and a slew of stud defensive players.
.@LVSuperBook title odds: Bama 6-1; Mich 7-1; Clem/OU/OhSt 8-1; FSU 12-1; Bay/LSU/ND/Tenn 15-1; Aub/UGA/MichSt/OleMiss/Stan/UCLA 30-1

LSU and Tennessee are the two teams closest behind Alabama, but are only given 15-1 odds to win it all in ’16. Auburn, Georgia, and Ole Miss all enter the month of June with 30-1 odds.
Another title, of course, would give Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban his fifth with the program (sixth overall) — all coming since the 2009 season.
