The favorite is still defending national champion Alabama at 6/1. Next in line is LSU, which saw a big jump from 14/1 to 7/1. Clemson, the team Alabama beat in the national title game in January, slipped slightly to 17/2 after being at 15/2 in February.
The next-best national championship odds for a Big Ten team belong to Michigan State at 50/1 while Iowa is at 66/1.
Ohio State began practice this week needing to replace eight starters on each side of the ball.
