Considering that Henry declared himself eligible for the NFL Draft earlier this year, the offense now just has highly-touted yet unproven recruit Bo Scarbrough as its supposed best weapon on offense, and that&#8217;s perhaps the reason why &#8216;Bama is just priced at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/college-football\/ncaa-football-futures\" target=\"_blank\">+800<\/a> to win its\u00a0fifth national title in 12 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Ohio State Buckeyes&#8217; roster has also been gutted for the worse. They lost key players in Ezekiel Elliott and Joey Bosa to the NFL Draft as well, and only three of their starters on offense and defense combined from last year\u00a0are set to return this season. Then again, head coach Urban Meyer still has prolific\u00a0quarterback J.T. Barrett for another run and the Buckeyes&#8217; recruitment and development programs are second to none in the nation. As such, the bookies placed Ohio State as the slim, overall front-runner at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/college-football\/ncaa-football-futures\" target=\"_blank\">+700<\/a> to win its second championship game in just three seasons.<\/p>\n<p>As for last year&#8217;s runners-up in the Clemson Tigers, they&#8217;re actually in good shape on offense this time out after their fantastic 14-win season (a school record), with Deshaun Watson ready\u00a0to lead the boys from Death Valley to another sensational campaign. However, defensive coordinator Brent Venables has another unenviable task of retooling Clemson&#8217;s D. But after the terrific job that he did for the team last season, the Tigers are still in good hands and are just half a step behind the Buckeyes at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/college-football\/ncaa-football-futures\" target=\"_blank\">+750<\/a> from winning their first national title since 1981.<\/p>\n<p>If your personal favorite or
