The 2020 college football season has officially come to a close with Alabama topping Ohio State in the 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship Game. But it is never too early to start thinking about who is going to win it all a year from now. BetMGM Sportsbook has released its initial odds to win the national championship for the 2021 season, and LSU is on the board.
Not surprisingly, Alabama is the way-too-early favorite to win the national championship next season. The Crimson Tide are listed as the top favorite at +300 to win it all. The Clemson Tigers are right behind Alabama with the second-best odds on the board at +350, followed by this past season’s runners-up, Ohio State (+500).
Despite having a tough 2020 season, LSU is still moderately high on the championship board for next season. LSU has the fourth-best shot at the championship next season according to BetMGM, with the Tigers getting a +3,500 shot. Georgia (+800) and Texas A&M (+2,500) are other SEC teams ahead of LSU other than Alabama.
