Colorado is underrated. They're one of the more balanced teams on that list, I'd take them getting 21.5, that's just an insane number.

Wisco has the caliber of defense you'd need to stay close but their offense would have a tough time getting a first down against Alabama, I think that would be a bloodbath.

Why the wide disparity in lines?
Not sure. I guess just a wide variety of opinions out there about how good Alabama is. One thing that's interesting is that Oklahoma gets a lot more love from the oddsmakers than they do from the CFP committee. The oddsmakers have Oklahoma rated about as good as Clemson.

I would, too. Most people don't remember this, but they were leading Michigan in the second half. Their QB got hurt and missed the rest of the game. I still think that Michigan wins, but they were very competitive until their QB had to sit.

I think the oddsmakers just know the average better loves offense and the Sooners would attract more action. I think anyone in the know thinks Oklahoma's defense would get ravaged by any of these playoff teams.

Yep. He missed the USC game too.
