This may come as a surprise to some. LSU just beat Alabama at Alabama, which would make many believe that the Tigers should probably be the favorite from here on out. Then again, part of the odds has to take into account the strength of schedule going forward.
The Ohio State-Penn State game was supposed to be a monstrous showdown. If Penn State lost to Minnesota, then maybe the odds favor the Buckeyes even further to win that game.
Other B1G names listed behind Ohio State’s 2/1 odds are Minnesota at 50/1 and Penn State at 100/1. To nobody’s surprise, the Golden Gophers’ upset surely impacted the Nittany Lions’ odds in a negative way.
