The buzz surrounding the Oregon Ducks now that spring ball is over feels pretty loud. Not only are fans excited after seeing a litany of young players fly all over the field at the Spring Game, but the Ducks were recently ranked as the No. 10 team in the country heading into the summer, with star defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux coming in as an early favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

So the Ducks feel like a shoo-in to make it to the College Football Playoff and potentially contend for a championship this season, right?
Las Vegas might be telling us to pump the breaks there a little bit. According to BetMGM , the Ducks have been given the 14th best odds in the nation to win the national title next season, listed at +5000. For reference, Alabama leads the odds at +250, and Clemson is at +350. Here are the top 15 teams according to the odds:
- Alabama (+250)
- Clemson (+350)
- Ohio State (+500)
- Oklahoma (+700)
- Georgia (+900)
- Texas A&M (+2500)
- Wisconsin (+3500)
- LSU (+3500)
- Florida (+4000)
- Notre Dame (+4000)
- Miami (+4000)
- Penn State (+4000)
- Iowa State (+4000)
- Oregon (+5000)
- North Carolina (+5000)
For Oregon fans who are enthralled about the start of the new season, those odds may be a bit discouraging, but it is only a measure of where the Pac-12 is at as a whole. While this may be one of the better Oregon teams that we’ve seen in a few years, they don’t yet have the national respect to be an odds-on favorite to win it all. Time can change that.
