Bettors wagering heavy on Michigan, Ohio State to win national title

The college football season is still more than four months away but that hasn't stopped the betting public from laying it down on Michigan.

Coming off a 10-3 season and with U-M having the fifth-best odds to win the national title at 10-to-1, fans are expecting a big season from the Wolverines.

According the total posted at the William Hill sports book in Nevada, 14% of all tickets wagered on a team to win the national championship were put on the Wolverines.

That's by far the most of any team, well beyond Ohio State, which has drawn 7% of the action, albeit now at 6-to-1 odds.
