Alabama Would Be a 3.5-Point Favorite Over Oregon in BCS National Championship

As we pass the midway point of the 2013 college football season, not a lot has changed at the top of polls or in the minds of fans. People want to see the clash of styles that Alabama and Oregon would provide in a national championship game.

With each passing week, the probability of this matchup continues to increase, which is why one online sports book has been taking bets on this hypothetical game. Sportsbook.com has kept odds on the Crimson Tide and Ducks for most of the season, but the gap has shrunk after week seven. Alabama finds itself as a 3.5-point favorite for the game played in Pasadena on January 6, 2014.

Just two weeks ago, Alabama was favored by 6.5 points, but Oregon continues to garner more respect from Vegas. The game would be a fan-favorite because of the stark contrast between programs: tradition vs new style, defense vs offense, and SEC vs West Coast. Both schools have one top-10 opponent and one other ranked opponent left on their schedule before a conference championship game.
