Ohio State is set to undergo a talent exodus in the upcoming 2016 NFL Draft. Many outside Columbus suspect 2016 could a reloading year for Urban Meyer's Buckeyes.
If you subscribe to that thought, you don't want to bet with Bovada. The sportsbook released updated 2016 championship odds on Monday, and the Buckeyes are the favorites.
Ohio State comes ahead of both contestants of the 2016 College Football Playoff Championship. Jim Harbaugh's Michigan, the highest ranked Big Ten team outside of Columbus, is tied with Clemson at 15:2.
Michigan State (25:1), Iowa (66:1), Nebraska (75:1), Northwestern (200:1), Maryland (200:1) and Penn State (200:1) round out Big Ten teams to draw odds. Tom Herman's Houston saw its championship odds worsen from 33:1 on Jan. 13 to 66:1 on Feb. 15.
