Bovada updated its odds on which team will win this year’s college football national championship on Monday.

Ohio State still has a slightly better chance than Michigan, according to the sports betting book. Bovada gives the Buckeyes a 5-1 chance to win their second title in three seasons, while the Wolverines are listed at 11-2.

Ohio State’s odds are tied for the second-best in the country with Clemson, while No. 1 Alabama is an overwhelming favorite at 8-5 . The full list can be seen here.

The Buckeyes’ odds were downed just slightly to 5-1 from 9-2 last week.

Nebraska and Wisconsin — who faced each other last Saturday — also have national championship odds listed, and each is a longshot. Wisconsin is given 33-1 odds; Nebraska is now 50-1.
