College football's getting a playoff and all, but it still has two more BCS National Championship Games in the way. USC was already favored for the first one, but now it's favored by a little less. Follow @SBNationCFB
The USC Trojans overtook the LSU Tigers atop Bovada.lv's 2012 college football national championship odds last time around, but they're losing a bit of their lead in this edition. Moving from 4/1 to 9/2, Matt Barkley's Trojans still remain perhaps the likely preseason No. 1, with LSU also dipping from 9/2 to 5/1.
The Alabama Crimson Tide, Oklahoma Sooners and Oregon Ducks hold steady, rounding out the top five, while the Georgia Bulldogs have drawn even with the Florida St. Seminoles at 12/1. The Arkansas Razorbacks had dipped from 15/1 to 20/1 after Bobby Petrino's exit, making them a good value if you believe in talent above all else. The Wisconsin Badgers remain at 40/1 despite picking up a new starting quarterback in Danny O'Brien.
The rest of the odds remain largely unchanged. Here's Bovada's complete, updated BCS National Championship Game odds:
