With all the talk about the SEC West's dominance of college football this season, Vegas is betting on a team from the west coast to win the national championship.

According to Bovoada, the Oregon Ducks are the favorites to win the inaugural College Football Playoff.

Oregon is the new favorite to win the national championship at 9-to-2, followed by 'Bama (5/1), FSU (6/1), Miss. State (7/1), per @BovadaLV — Ryan Thorburn (@rgduckfootball) November 3, 2014

Oregon was ranked fifth in the College Football Playoff poll last week, but should move into the top four after Ole Miss lost to Auburn on Saturday.

The Ducks are listed as a betting favorite presumably because the SEC West race is too close to call, and Oregon has been playing outstanding football since their loss to Arizona.

Oregon's next game is at Utah at 10:00 p.m. ET Saturday on ESPN.
