Alabama shifts from underdog to betting favorite to make CFP

Alabama's odds to make the College Football Playoff shifted significantly Monday, with the Crimson Tide going from small underdogs to odds-on favorites to earn a spot in the 12-team field at multiple sportsbooks.

Alabama began Monday as a +105 underdog to make the CFP at ESPN BET but by the end of the day was a -200 favorite.

The Crimson Tide (8-3) fell to No. 13 in last week's CFP rankings after losing to unranked Oklahoma. They rebounded with a win over Auburn on Saturday in the Iron Bowl, but did not make the SEC championship game.
