Now, after Sabans shocking departure from the program on Wednesday, Alabama has fallen to +1000, the fourth-best odds behind Georgia (+300), Ohio State (+700) and Texas (+750) all three of which had their odds shortened after the news.
Alabama is trailed by a trio of teams at +1200 (Oregon, Michigan and LSU).
Ole Miss (+1500) and Florida State (+1800) are the only other teams with odds better than 25/1 to win next years college football title.
Despite losing his head coach, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe remains one of the top contenders for next seasons Heisman Trophy, sitting at +750 at FanDuel to win the award, which is tied with Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers and Georgia quarterback Carson Beck for the best odds as of Wednesday evening.
