As a top-8 team with a home playoff game and with a 10-2 record after enduring one of the toughest schedules in the country, it would seem the Oklahoma Sooners have proven enough to be considered serious national championship contenders. But Vegas strongly disagrees.
The Sooners enter the College Football Playoff as the 8-seed and will host the No. 9 Alabama Crimson Tide for a rematch on Friday, Dec. 19, at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. With the playoff bracket set, Vegas oddsmakers on Sunday released the odds for each of the 12 teams to win it all, and the Sooners were in the bottom tier despite their path and accomplishments so far.
