Following an exciting Week 7 of CFB action, one Las Vegas sportsbook released their updated national championship odds on Sunday morning.

Here they are, via Brett McMurphy of Stadium:

Listed as co-favorites, both Alabama and Clemson were victorious by at least three scores on Saturday. Going to College Station, Texas and knocking off No. 24 Texas A&M, 47-28, the Crimson Tide host Tennessee (2-4) on October 19 (9:00PM ET, ESPN).

Idle on October 12, Ohio State (6-0) travels to Evanston, Illinois to face Northwestern (1-4) on Friday, October 18 (8:30PM ET, FS1).

Impressing any remaining doubters with a 42-28 victory over Florida, LSU now has the fourth-best odds. While taking care of their own business, the Tigers also benefited from Georgia’s (5-1) loss to South Carolina (3-3). LSU will make the trip to Starkville to face Mississippi State (3-3) on October 19.

The seventh-best odds, the Wisconsin Badgers are listed at 16/1. Recording their fourth shutout of the 2019 season already, Wisconsin routed Michigan State (4-3) on Saturday, 38-0.

Scoring two touchdowns, junior running back Jonathan Taylor led the way for the Badgers with 80 yards. Fellow junior Jack Coan threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to redshirt junior Quintez Cephus. One of the B1G’s best receivers, Cephus finished with two receptions for 28 yards.

Returning to the program after missing the 2018 season due to a legal matter, Cephus has caught 19 passes for 291 yards (15.3 AVG) and three scores for the 6-0 Badgers.

Heavy favorites, Wisconsin will travel to Champaign to battle Illinois (2-4) on Saturday (12:00PM ET, BTN).
