The Ohio State Buckeyes are now considered the favorite to win this season’s NCAAF national championship game as Ohio State won a big game last weekend and now appear to have a clear schedule for about 4 weeks. The Buckeyes are not the number 1 in the nation in either poll but they are number 1 according to betting odds as we update the futures odds to win the BCS National Championship for the top 8 favorites:

1. Ohio State Buckeyes +400 Ladbrokes
2. Alabama Crimson Tide +450 bet365
3. Oklahoma Sooners +800 Ladbrokes
4. Boise State Broncos +1000 Ladbrokes
5. Florida Gators +1200 William Hill
6. TCU Horned Frogs +1200 bet365
7. Nebraska Cornhuskers +1600 SkyBet
8. Texas Longhorns +1600 SkyBet

Ohio State are the lock of the weekend as they face Ohio and the Buckeyes are at -7000 (1/70; Ladbrokes) to win that game. Ohio have only been given 1 chance in 71 to beat Ohio State and the Buckeyes look great to remain undefeated although a -30 point spread to cover with bet365 (priced at -110) is hardly a lock.

Finding a great betting angle on the Buckeyes to win against Ohio isn’t easy but Ohio State’s odds in the futures market promise to shorten after the weekend. Ohio State are one of the least likely top teams to suffer an upset this weekend and so they are a good team to back in the futures market right now.

All of the other top teams in the list above have tougher games this weekend than Ohio State with Nebraska and Texas facing the biggest tests.
