But who wins it all in college football betting this year? Let\u2019s review the current top 20 according to the majority of sportsbooks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. OHIO STATE<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +450<\/p>\n<p>All aboard the Buckeyes hype train. For most of the offseason, defending national champion Alabama had top honors, but Ohio State has taken over. Bettors\u2019 confidence in 6\u20196\u201d pivot Terrelle Pryor is growing. The Rose Bowl win went a long way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. ALABAMA<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +600<\/p>\n<p>Before we anoint Ohio State the national champion, let\u2019s remember that Alabama hasn\u2019t lost any of its key offensive pieces. That Heisman Trophy winner guy, Mark Ingram, returns to the backfield. Remember him? And then there\u2019s Trent Richardson. And Julio Jones. And Greg McElroy. The Crimson Tide aren\u2019t ready to back down just yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. OKLAHOMA<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +600<\/p>\n<p>This is a curious rank to me. No Sam Bradford yet the Sooners have the same odds as Alabama? It\u2019s a reloading year for them if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. FLORIDA<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +700<\/p>\n<p>Some bettors will put Florida in the same boat as Oklahoma since the Gators must adjust to life without Tim Tebow. But Urban Meyer is still steering the ship after all and John Brantley could be better behind center than people expect. Florida won\u2019t regress too much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. BOISE STATE<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +1000<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a given that Boise State will run away with the WAC. But now it\u2019s gaining steam in the BCS title discussion. It\u2019s hard to argue the ascension. The Broncos have 21 starters returning to a team that already went undefeated last year \u2013 including Kellen Moore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. NEBRASKA<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +1200<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m surprised that the Cornhuskers aren\u2019t rated higher than sixth. Their running game looks formidable and I don\u2019t think their \u201cD\u201d will suffer nearly as much as people think without Ndamukong Suh. This is a deep team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. TCU<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +1500<\/p>\n<p>The nation\u2019s most devastating defense a year ago won\u2019t quite have the same teeth with Jerry Hughes gone but TCU\u2019s offense could make up for any defensive regression. Most of its O-line is back and Andy Dalton may be ready for a leap forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. TEXAS<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +1500<\/p>\n<p>Reloading year. No disrespect to Garrett Gilbert but he simply isn\u2019t Colt McCoy. And Texas has too much competition in the Big 12 alone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. OREGON<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +1800<\/p>\n<p>Jeremiah Masoli will sit out the year, suspended after a misdemeanor burglary charge, but Oregon has other options at quarterback (Nate Costa and Darron Thomas) who can fill in nicely and the defense looks fast and effective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. VIRGINIA TECH<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +2000<\/p>\n<p>Like TCU, Virginia Tech is a school known for defense over offense in recent seasons. And, like TCU, the Hokies could undergo a transformation this year. Tyrod Taylor passed for 2,311 yards last year but also has 18 rushing touchdowns in his college career. Maybe he\u2019s ready to lead this team. <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627&#038;tclk=http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\"width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>11. MIAMI (FL)<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +2500<\/p>\n<p>Everyone\u2019s sexiest sleeper? Maybe. The Hurricanes went 3-1 against ranked opponents last year, their young \u201cD\u201d is ferocious, and Jacory Harris wants to make a statement as a senior.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12. IOWA<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +3000<\/p>\n<p>Strong defense but can they win a national title with Ricky Stanzi? He\u2019s too careless with the ball.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13. ARKANSAS<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +4000<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Mallett alone makes the Razorbacks part of the discussion. Threw for 30 touchdowns versus seven picks last year. If only the \u201cD\u201d could support him better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14. GEORGIA<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +4000<\/p>\n<p>Georgia should score a decent amount but its defense looks dangerously inexperienced with just five starters returning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15. LSU<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +4000<\/p>\n<p>How can you pick a team to win a national title when it doesn\u2019t even have its starting quarterback sorted out?<\/p>\n<p><strong>16. WISCONSIN<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +4000<\/p>\n<p>Given their cushy schedule and John Clay\u2019s play in the backfield, the Badgers have more upside than the two teams above them here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17. PITTSBURGH<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +5000<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s plenty to like about Pittsburgh \u2013 especially its pass rush and running game. But the O-line lost three starters and that could hurt badly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18. NOTRE DAME<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +5000<\/p>\n<p>Even with Brian Kelly taking the reins, I can\u2019t imagine Notre Dame having a good year after losing Jimmy Clausen and Golden Tate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>19. AUBURN<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +5000<\/p>\n<p>A ho-hum defense and a good-but-not great offense aren\u2019t enough for BCS glory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>20. PENN STATE<\/strong><br \/>\nBCS Championship odds: +6000<\/p>\n<p>We love Joe Paterno but I\u2019m not sure Penn State can make up for quarterback Daryll Clark\u2019s departure this season.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>CLICK ANY OF THE ODDS BELOW TO PLACE A BET AT BODOG!!!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/www.bodog.com\/livelines\/livelines.jsp?EventType=NFF&amp;ID=151627\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.bettingpartners.com\/_TcMlrmSOeQxhg6WO2I1rgWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT BODOG.COM&#8217;S NCAA Football BETTING LINES FOR ALL THE MATCHUPS!!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><br \/>\n<em><strong>Shea Matthews lives and breathes sports.
