  "account": "Name, image and likeness has opened up college football, leading to seven teams with 11-1 odds or better to win the national title, according to sportsbooks. Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Texas are among the favorites, with Indiana, Oregon, and Georgia also in contention. Miami is at 10-1 and 11-1 at various sportsbooks. The transfer portal, court cases, and a more lenient schedule for Notre Dame have contributed to the parity in the title race. Notre Dame's independence means they don't face the same gauntlet of opponents as Big Ten and SEC schools, giving them a more straightforward path to the championship.",
