Ohio State hopes to put last week’s 26-18 loss to then 1-4 Purdue and dashed National Championship hopes aside when they take on Minnesota.
So the first BCS standings of 2009 have been released and to no one’s surprise, the Florida Gators—+125 to win this season’s BCS championship at most online sportsbooks—are Kings of the college football hill followed by the Alabama Crimson Tide in the two-spot.
Strangely enough though, Florida dropped to No. 2, trumped by ‘Bama in the Associated Press poll but football fans in “The Swamp” probably don’t care, as their team is tops in the more prestigious poll.
Unlike World Series betting, college football is short on major matchups this week. With the big-name schools not playing particularly significant games, we turn to upstart TCU and BYU. Can TCU continue its improbable run and sneak into the BCS discussion?

Here we are a week before the great pumpkin makes its anual appearance, and our ever shrinking list of unbeatens has dropped to just 7. It offers hope for 1 loss teams, as this list shrinks, the opportunity to play in the title game becomes more and more of a reality with each passing week.
Polls are taken from all the major polls done by everyone and their dog and put together all on one page for easy viewing.
The rankings are based on a performance and they are not ranked by who will have the best projected statistics for the week.
This past Saturday we weren’t disappointed by College Football. There were several great games along with a few surprising outcomes.
Arkansas almost upset Florida in what would have been the surprise of the year, Sam Bradford re-injured his shoulder, Notre Dame fell short again in a winnable game and the Buckeyes looked as bad as they have all season.

Here’s the week 8 report to help you with your fantasy football teams. We scoped out the leagues post game newswires to bring you an up to date list of important team injuries for week 8 of the NFL football season. The NFL week 8 injury report, or as we’ve always called it, “The Sunday Shelf”.
Each week, the CappersPicks.com staff brings you players you need to be paying attention to: Remember – fantasy football championships are often won by those who live eat and breath fantasy football. Here are the Week 8 Fantasy Studs & Duds for NFL games that went on in week 8.
It has become crystal clear in this topsy-turvy NFL betting campaign, that nothing is as it seems for the majority of teams across the league.
Outside of a just a handful of NFL teams this season (Titans, Giants, Redskins, Panthers) nearly every team in the league has shown a serious propensity to display what I’ve long termed, the ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ symptom.
If you had told me that Kerry Collins would be quarterbacking the league’s best team at the halfway mark of the season, I would’ve slapped you in the face, kicked you in the nuts and set your pants on fire (because that’s what you do to liars). But here we are staring at the Week 8 odds and lines with Collins at the helm of the Tennessee Titans, who are on the verge of an undefeated season. With a definitive win over the Colts, it will be nearly impossible for Indianapolis to wrestle the top spot in the AFC North from the reigning Titans.
Two teams who probably thought they would be doing a lot better at this time will lock horns on Sunday, as the San Diego Chargers (3-4 SU, 3-3-1 ATS) play the New Orleans Saints (3-4 SU, 4-3 ATS) in an NFL contest that will kick off at 1 PM ET at Wembley Stadium (natural turf) in London.
The Seattle Seahawks (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS) are looking for a break that will give them some badly-needed momentum. On Sunday they will try to get it against the San Francisco 49ers (2-5 SU & ATS) in an NFL contest that is set to take place at 4:15 PM ET at Candlestick Park (natural turf) in San Francisco.
Our Sportsbook.com writers continue to churn out victories and they are both hot after a 3-1 Sunday last week. While the guys have agreed on a lot of games this season, they aren’t seeing eye-to-eye this week. Cras enters with a 17-9-2 record with Mike at 16-10-2 for the season.
Here’s how they view four of this weekend’s games.
