William Hill reports that USC, Michigan, and Ohio State have taken in the most slips, then followed by Alabama.<\/p>\n
The most dominant program in the 2000s, labeled the “Team of the Decade” by sports outlets, the Trojans fell on tough times after coach Pete Carroll left town for the NFL. His successor Lane Kiffin failed to keep the program in elite status.<\/p>\n
\nBut coming off a 10-3 campaign by first-year coach Clay Helton, and a Rose Bowl win over Penn State (ranked #6 in Coaches Poll), there’s much enthusiasm in Southern California.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nOnline sportsbook Bovada has USC at +700 to win the CFP National Championship, the third-best line in the country. A $100 wager would net the bettor $700 should the Trojans win their first title since 2004.<\/p>\n

Penn State might also appeal to the school’s passionate fanbase. The Nittany Lions return Trace McSorley and Saquon Barkley, two preseason Heisman candidates, and are coming off an 11-win season.<\/p>\n
Bovada has the Lions at +1400 to win their first title since 1986.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
