Let’s be honest BetUS NCAA college football sports betting enthusiasts, while Sunday’s BCS selection show may have featured a bunch of really nice graphics and some statistics that showed just how inept the flawed computer-based system really is, NCAA college football bettors didn’t get many surprises in the way of teams getting the short end of the stick.
BetUS sports bettors who are interested in college football are probably wondering what’s going on with the BCS national championship picture. Well, let’s take a close look at the possibilities of the contenders.
The Georgia Bulldogs are the AP’s number one team and 5:1 odds to win the national title, but is that a good value?
USC is the top betting choice to be national champs at 7:2, with Ohio State second at 4:1. Oklahoma is also 5:1.
Georgia coach Mark Richt’s returns 17 starters from arguably the best team in the country at the end of last season, and they are also riding a seven-game winning streak. Talent wise, the Bulldogs can easily lineup with any team even after losing offensive tackle Trinton Sturdivant for the season.
However, the Georgia schedule is extremely brutal this year and others are paying attention. Las Vegas Sports Consultants has Georgia ranked 7th, overall, as they base their rankings on where they think a team will finish the season.
Georgia’s first tough game is September 13th at #26 South Carolina. South Carolina handed Georgia one of its two losses last season, 16-12 in Athens as three-point underdogs. The Gamecocks have their best team since coach Steve Spurrier arrived in Columbia and he welcomes back 10 starters on defense. Also, five of the last seven meetings between these teams have been decided by six or less points.
