2008-2009 BCS CHAMPIONSHIP ODDS
PREDICTIONS - ANALYSIS -
STRATEGY
Just as you can make a futures wager on who will win the Super
Bowl, you can also make a futures wager on who will win the
2008-2009 BCS Championship and become College
Footballs National Title winner. (We'll post the complete
odds below this article.) There's very little value in playing any
of the favorites with this type of wager. Teams like USC and Ohio
State simply aren't worth wagering on. The payoff is too small to
justify it. Heck, USC is 7/2.
But there are some very interesting choices starting at 20-1 odds
all the way up to 100-1 odds. Furthermore, you need to shop around
at different sportsbooks. Just comparing two popular books,
BetJamaica and
Sportsbook.com we see huge
differences in some of the prices to win the BCS Championship.
Currently you can get LSU, Clemson and West Virginia at 20-1 Odds or
better if you shop. All three of those teams figure to have very
good years. LSU in particular, is always a threat.
How about Florida State at 60-1 Odds? Bobby Bowden has this team
ready to strike once again. The new coaching staff has a year under
it's belt and has the talent to compete right now for a BCS
Championship. Last year, Bowden managed to win 7 games despite tons
of adversity, including injuries, suspensions and a new staff. While
we're in the state of Florida, why not mention the South Florida
Bulls? This team is no joke as you'll see when we post our Big East
Preview. 75-1 would be a nice payoff!
A couple more teams that you can get at least 75-1 to win the BCS
Title on are Alabama and Michigan. Folks, Michigan is always a
threat. You almost have to make a play on Michigan on principle
alone. 75-1? Michigan is loaded with talent year after year. They
have a schedule that is very cooperative. There's not one game on
their schedule that they can't win. Even their season finale against
Ohio State is winnable. Off all the teams at 20-1 or better,
Michigan, at 75-1, stands out most.

There's even a couple of 100-1 shots that, well, probably
shouldn't be that high. How about the "Old Ball Coach" Mr Spurrier
and his South Carolina Gamecocks? South Carolina returns 10 on
defense and 7 on offense to a team that started 6-1, knocked off
Georgia and was in every game they played last year. True, they play
in the toughest conference in College Football, the SEC, which is a
big problem, but heck, 100-1 odds is worth a peanut.
The beauty of playing decent teams at long odds to win the BCS
College football Championship is, your team doesn't have to win it
for you to make money. If you play a team like Michigan At 75-1 Odds
and Michigan rolls thru the early part of their schedule undefeated,
yet you don't think they have the talent to win the BCS, there are
all kinds of hedging opportunities available which would enable you
to lock in a profit.
One strategy is to go game by game thru the schedules of the
teams you are considering. See if you can pick some teams at long
odds that figure to be undefeated after 6 or 7 games. There's plenty
of them as many teams play cupcake schedules early on. Look at some
of the weaker conferences.
