NIL-fueled parity shakes up title odds, with 7 teams at 11-1 or better to win title

The landscape of college football has changed. More schools have a shot at the national championship. Thanks to name, image, and likeness deals, the odds are shifting. Seven teams have odds of 11-1 or greater to win the title in Las Vegas on Jan. 25. Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Texas lead the pack. Notre Dame benefits from a less challenging schedule.
