Oklahoma staying unified
NORMAN, OK (TheSpread) – Oklahoma has had a tumultuous week as a school and that has spread into the football program. What are the Sooners’ latest odds to win a championship?
Earlier in the week a racist video emerged from an Oklahoma fraternity singing a song with derogatory phrases and references to lynching. The video created a big controversy around the school and even caused some Oklahoma football recruits to de-commit from the program. Shortly after that, a diverse group of players currently on the team came together to issue a statement of unification within the program and a desire to educate to encourage change.
According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Oklahoma is currently getting 20/1 odds to win the 2016 College Football Playoffs. Ohio State is the current favorite with 4/1 odds while Alabama has been given 7/1 odds.
