After quite an eventful weekend of college football, there has not really been that much that has changed when it comes to the national championship outlook. Despite having to fight for their undefeated lives on the road against Texas last weekend, Alabama remains the betting favorite to win it all at the end of this college football season. But Georgia is breathing down the necks of the Crimson Tide.

The updated national championship odds from BetMGM also see Penn State starting to work its way up the board one small step at a time. Penn State still falls under the long shot category in the national championship picture right now, and they have the same odds as Arkansas, Miami, Oklahoma State, Tennessee, and Wake Forest for a better frame of reference where Penn State sits at this point in the season.

Here are the latest national championship odds from BetMGM.
