Can the Hokies surprise Alabama?

The ABC Saturday night college football schedule starts out with a doozy of a game between Alabama and Virginia Tech, a pair of top 10 teams in most polls.

Alabama vs. Clemson Sportsbook.com NCAAF Betting Preview

NCAAF: Saban, Bama open as dogs

Nick Saban’s quest to bring Alabama back to prominence highlights the early odds for college football’s opening week.

Remember to make Sportsbook.com your home for college football betting. You’ll find the greatest array of game and future odds, all released the earliest in the industry. Click here for the latest odds, and get the most for your betting dollar at Sportsbook.com.

Saban won a National Championship with LSU in 2003, and he’s back for his second season in Tuscaloosa after going 7-6 last year (4-4 in the SEC). Saban may have flamed out with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, but there’s no denying his ability to coach and recruit at the collegiate level, which immediately makes Bama a dangerous squad.

Despite being ranked 24th in the country, Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide open as a five-point dog versus Clemson on Saturday. Ranked #9, Clemson appears to be the class of the ACC and Coach Tommy Bowden is feeling the heat to win his first league title since 1991.
