Mississippi State hasnāt lost. Florida State hasnāt lost. Auburn hasnāt lost. Alabama hasnāt lost. Despite all that, Oregon has leapfrogged the entire lot to become the new national title favorite according to online sportsbook Bovada.

Oregon is the new favorite to win the national championship at 9-to-2, followed by 'Bama (5/1), FSU (6/1), Miss. State (7/1), per @BovadaLV
The Ducks were ranked fifth in last weekās College Football Playoff poll, and rank fifth in the latest AP poll, but surpassed Alabama and Mississippi State (plus fallen Georgia) from last weekās odds, moving from 7/1 to 9/2 over the course of a week.
The guess here is that the SEC race is just too close to call at this point and bettors like someone with a more sure-fire shot to reach the Playoff. But the Ducks donāt even necessarily have that, what with this weekās trip to No. 20 Utah and a presumptive date in the Pac-12 Championship, most likely against No. 11 Arizona State. That honor goes to Florida State, who stands at 8-0 and, depending on how Duke finishes the season, may not face another ranked team this season.
On top of that, Marcus Mariota is now Bovadaās clear favorite to take home the Heisman Trophy.

Our updated CollegeFootball odds to win the Heisman has Marcus Mariota favored to win. http://bit.ly/CFB-props
This one is much easier to digest. Mariota is the nationās most efficient passer, hitting on 68.1 percent of his passes for 2,542 yards (10.2 yards per attempt, tied for second nationally) with an astounding 26 touchdowns against two interceptions plus an additional 71 carries for 410 yards and seven touchdowns. Mariota connected on 19-of-30 throws for 258 yards with two touchdowns and one interception to go with nine carries for 85 yards and two more scores in Saturdayās 45-16 defeat of Stanford.
The Ducks head to Salt Lake City Saturday night at 10 p.m. ET (ESPN).
