Long odds

The Razorbacks have been assigned odds of 500 to 1 of winning the College Football Playoff national championship by Bovada of Las Vegas.

Arkansas, which was given 250 to 1 odds to win the title on Jan. 10, is grouped in with 11 other teams at 500 to 1, including Baylor, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Missouri and South Carolina.

The Razorbacks have the eighth-best odds among SEC teams. Alabama is at 12 to 5, the best odds in the country, followed in the top five by USC (6 to 1), Ohio State (13 to 2), Florida State (15 to 2) and 16-1 for Michigan, Oklahoma and Penn State.

Odds for other SEC teams: Auburn (20 to 1), Georgia and LSU (25 to 1), Florida (33 to 1), Tennessee (75 to 1) and Texas A&M (150 to 1). Ole Miss, which had been 100 to 1 on Jan. 10, has been taken off the board due to Coach Hugh Freeze’s sudden resignation in July. Vanderbilt is also off the board.
