Week 5 of the college football season was largely defined by "chalk," with the lone notable exception being No. 8 Florida getting thoroughly handled by No. 25 Missouri—a result that oddsmakers hardly considered a true shocker.
Yet, despite the relative lack of upsets across the country, we officially have a new frontrunner to win the national championship. The Georgia Bulldogs have surged ahead to become the standalone betting favorite to be the last team standing at BetOnline Sports & Casiono
