Alabama, Michigan top latest Vegas odds
Alabama remains the favorite to repeat its title in 2016, but Michigan has made a big jump in the latest set of national championship odds to sit just behind the Crimson Tide.
Nick Saban's team currently sit as the 5-1 favorite after opening as 6-1 shortly after their College Football Playoff win over Clemson. The Wolverines jumped from 15-1 all the way to 7-1 to come in slightly ahead of the Tigers, Ohio State, and Florida State. Michigan hasn't won the Big Ten since 2004, but look poised to turn things around under Jim Harbaugh.
