For the first time during the regular season, Ohio State joined Alabama on Monday as 2016 betting favorites.

The Buckeyes rolled Rutgers in an area rug and dropped its corpse into the Olentangy River on Saturday. Alabama was less ruthless in its 34-6 deposing of Kentucky at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

The wins reverberated through South Point Casino's Las Vegas sportsbook, as Bama is no longer the sole favorite to win the title.

Per college football oracle Phil Steele, here are the latest odds:

SCHOOL ODDS
OHIO STATE 3/1
ALABAMA 3/1
CLEMSON 5/1
MICHIGAN 10/1
TENNESSEE 10/1
LOUISVILLE 10/1
WASHINGTON 12/1

Ohio State hosts Indiana on Saturday. Alabama heads to Fayetteville, Arkansas in attempt to wrangle Bert Bielema's wild hogs.
