The Crimson Tide may be ranked higher than the Gators, but Florida is the favorite this weekend by a pretty big margin at -9 on the college football odds. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/mid\/1431\/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/a>Tim Tebow and the Gators have been routing all-comers while averaging 51 points during their eight-game winning streak, but they may have to get it done without Percy Harvin this weekend; he\u2019s questionable with an ankle injury. The Crimson Tide defense showed what they\u2019re made of last week by shutting out Auburn, but they\u2019ll have a much harder time with Florida.<\/p>\n<p>In the Big 12 the Missouri Tigers are in for a rough game against the Oklahoma Sooners as a 17-point underdog on the college football betting odds. It likely didn\u2019t help the Tigers\u2019 confidence that they lost their regular season finale to Kansas last week 40-37 as a 16-point favorite. The Sooners earned their spot in the championship game after displaying their offensive fortitude in a 61-41 win over Oklahoma State last week. Sam Bradford recorded five touchdowns in the win, while Oklahoma\u2019s ground game was as tough as ever with DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown combining for 171 yards and three TDs.<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers and Sooners last faced off last season in a 38-17 Oklahoma victory as a 3-point road favorite. Oklahoma has won six straight over the Tigers and a big win on Saturday could lock up a spot in the national championship game for them.<\/p>\n<p>Finishing off the conference championship games is the ACC title game between Boston College and Virginia Tech, which is a rematch of last year\u2019s conference championship. Last year Virginia Tech rolled over the Eagles 30-16 as a 4-point favorite to punch their ticket to the Orange Bowl. The Eagles clawed their way into this year\u2019s title game with a 28-21 win over Maryland last week. The Hokies edged rival Virginia 17-14 last week to clinch their spot.<\/p>\n<p>Back in October the Eagles and Hokies clashed at Boston College, when the Eagles pulled out a 28-23 win as 3-point favorites. Boston College is favored again in the rematch, but this time by only 1 point.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"\/handicappers\/\">Looking for Expert CFB Picks on this weeks HUGE college Championship Weekend?
