Ohio State lost to an unranked Penn State last Saturday night, but the Buckeyes are still in the national title hunt. If they win out, it will probably win them a Big Ten title.

And it seems sports books and bettors are aware as well.

Bovada released its newest title odds Tuesday afternoon. Like in the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook's listings, Ohio State (9:2) trails only Alabama (8:5).

Michigan (6:1), Clemson (7:1) and Louisville (9:1) round out the Top 5.  The full listings:

J.T. Barrett trimmed his Heisman odds (15:2 to 12:1) with 271 total yards and a touchdown against the Nittany Lions, though he still trails Louisville's Lamar Jackson, Michigan's Jabrill Peppers, Clemson's DeShaun Watson, and Washington's Jake Browning.

HEISMAN ODDS

DALVIN COOK (RB, FLORIDA STATE) 33/1 40/1
GREG WARD JR. (QB, HOUSTON) 33/1 OFF
CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY (RB, STANFORD) 50/1 OFF

And perhaps most interestingly, the Michigan–Ohio State line fell from OSU (-7) to (-5) following the loss.
