Before Alabama and Clemson square off in their National Championship rematch, Vegas released some way-too-early odds to win it all next season.
The Cowboys - with the returning power couple of Mason Rudolph and James Washington - are currently listed at 30-1 odds.
Next year’s title odds: Bama 3-1, FSU 7-1, OhioSt/OU/USC 8-1, UL/LSU/Mich 12-1, Clem 18-1, Texas 25-1, Aub/OkSt/PSU 30-1 via @LVSuperBook

Alabama - to no surprise - is the favorite with 3-1 odds. The big surprise is Texas. After losing to seven games, including one to Kansas, firing Charlie Strong, hiring Tom Herman, losing D’Onte Foreman, along with other various moves, Texas STILL has better odds to win than Oklahoma State at 25-1.
Let me guess.....
"TEXAS IS BACK, FOLKS!"

Call me crazy, but I’m going to side with Cade on this one.
