Sure, the 2010 regular season is still seven months away, and the BcS title game a full 11 months down the road, but it’s always the time of year and never to early to discuss gambling and NCAA football, right?
So, just as we thought, and as expected by anyone with half a brain, defending national champion Alabama is the prohibitive favorite of SportsBook.com to hoist the BcS crystal yet again in January of 2011.
Following right behind the Tide’s 7:2 is Ohio State at 8:1. Oregon, thoroughly handled by the Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl, are next at 10:1, followed by Boise State and Nebraska (?) at 12:1.
The Tide’s title game opponent, Texas, stands at 15:1 along with TCU and Virginia Tech.
Florida and USC are both at 20:1, as is Iowa.
If you are degenerative interested enough, the full odds are right HERE.
All I know is, I have a friend… ooops… what I meant to say was, if I had a friend heading to Vegas in, say two weeks, I’d give said friend one piece of paper with a picture of Benjamin Franklin on it with explicit instructions to let it all ride on Boise.
Again, that’s if I had a friend heading to Sin City. Which I don’t.

Nebraska will win it…Go BIIIIGGG REEEDDDD!!
Boise?? You went for that Jack Daniels cure, didn’t you?
The bookies also picked the Colts to win the Super Bowl next year. I have more confidence in Saban’s work ethic than in the bookies.
Roll Tide!!!!
Let’s go Hawks!! Everyone else beware…
