2011 BCS Championship Odds: Teams to Watch

The defending national champion Alabama Crimson Tide have opened at online sportsbooks as 4-1 favorites in college football odds to win the BCS Championship for the 2010-11 season and that may be a solid price. Bama coach Nick Saban has loaded the program with outstanding recruits and the team has the confidence of a deep and loaded champion that has dominated the best teams in the land last year including Florida who has opened at 10-1 and Texas. Saban has built a machine and will face teams in the SEC that are not up to the Tide’s level which should help their campaign as college football betting favorites.
Even Florida, strong as they are, will be rebuilding on offense and the Tide will catch them at home which will make their most dangerous game of the year much more winnable. Sportsbooks have Ohio State as a 6-1 choice in BCS betting and that also looks like a solid price. The Buckeyes are the class of the Big Ten and should not have much difficulty getting out of the league and into a BCS Bowl game. One team that could derail Ohio State in the Big Ten race, however, is the Iowa Hawkeyes who have opened at 20-1 which could be one of the best values in college football odds. Iowa won the Orange Bowl last year and has plenty of returning starters and a favorable schedule. Bet Alabama 4-1 as favorites in BCS betting odds with up to 260% in total bonuses and a 200% poker bonus.
The Big 12 trio of Oklahoma, Texas, and Nebraska will also rate highly with gamblers. Sportsbook have Oklahoma at 7-1, Texas at 14-1 and Nebraska at 15-1 in college football odds for the upcoming season. Oklahoma is loaded and if they can beat Texas in their Red River Rivalry showdown they will have the inside track to the South Division title. Nebraska nearly upset the Longhorns in the Big 12 title game last year and is also loaded and with a favorable schedule. They would love to leave the Big 12 as champions before joining the Big Ten next year. Perhaps the best value on the board is Notre Dame at 40-1. With a cushy schedule and national following they could quickly leap ahead of better teams if new coach Brian Kelly can ignite them early on.

Nation’s Top 2 Teams - Oregon And Auburn - Both Come From Behind To Win And Stay Unbeaten

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ - Nation’s Top 2 Teams - Oregon And Auburn - Both Come From Behind To Win And Stay Unbeaten
The nation’s top two unbeaten teams - No. 1 Oregon (11-0) and No. 2 Auburn (12-0) - registered stirring come from behind victories this week over 20th-ranked Arizona and 9th-ranked Alabama to stay on track for their probable match-up in the BCS National Championship Game.
Only two events this coming week could upset the apple cart, an Oregon loss to Oregon State in the Ducks final game, or an Auburn loss to South Carolina in the SEC championship game.
Oregon was down 19-14 at halftime but showed why it is a second-half team, scoring 34 points to Arizona’s 10, and going on to win 48-29. Duck QB Darron Thomas threw 3 touchdown passes and ran 20 yards for another, and LaMichael James - the nation’s leading rusher - gained 126 yards on 28 carries (4.5 yards per carry) and scored two more touchdowns.
James’ now has 19 rushing touchdowns, breaking LaGarrette Blount’s single-season record of 17 set in 2008 for Oregon.
The Wildcats, like every other team this year, could not keep up with Oregon’s speedy spread-option offense. The Ducks would run a play every 10 seconds if they could. “You can slow them down, but you can’t stop them,” said Arizona coach Mike Stoops. You’re right, coach, speed kills.
If you like offense, this was the game for you - Oregon racked up 537 yards and Arizona 506 - and remember, Arizona scored 29 on Oregon. So just how good is Oregon’s defense? You figure it out. Arizona, a 7-4 team, is ranked 20th by Sagarin.
Oregon’s 11th win marked only the second time the Ducks have had 11 wins in a season, the last being in 2001 when Joey Harrington took Oregon to the Fiesta Bowl.
The comeback by Auburn was much more improbable. Alabama’s Greg McElroy completed his first 12 passes and the Crimson Tide scored on its first 3 possessions with a 9-yard run by Heisman Trophy-winner Mark Ingram, a 68-yard strike to Julio Jones, and a 12-yard pass to Darius Hanks.
Alabama would go up 24-zip before Auburn could turn around and catch them. Heck, the Tigers were behind 21-zip before Auburn had a first down, and the Crimson Tide had racked up 314 yards of offense to Auburn’s 2.
If Cam Newton and his teammates were intimidated by Alabama’s 20 consecutive wins at home, they got over it, outscoring the Tide 28-3 the rest of the way to win, 28-27, on a 7-yard pass from Newton to Philip Lutzenkirchen with 11:55 left in the 4th quarter.
Newton, the odds-on favorite to win the Heisman Trophy as college football’s best player, completed 13-of-20 passes (65%) for 216 yards with touchdown strikes of 36, 70 and 7 yards. Newton is a running wizard on par with LaMichael James and Michigan’s Denard Robinson, but on this day he showed a strong, accurate throwing arm as well.
Pro teams will be lined up deeper than the number of teams available to sign Newton come draft day.
Should Auburn beat South Carolina for the SEC championship this week, Auburn will be playing for the national title.
In losing, Alabama did not help itself. Mark Ingram fumbled the ball following a long run. Greg McElroy coughed up another ball after a major-league hit by Nick Fairley, who recovered McElroy’s fumble. Then a couple of Tide defenders got crossed up on a pass that resulted in a 70-yard catch and run TD by Terrell Zachery that gave Auburn new life.
Despite Alabama’s game try, this is Cam Newton and Auburn we are talking about, apparently the football gods care a lot more about Newton than some of his critics.
There were 4 upsets this week, none bigger than 19th-ranked Nevada’s (11-1) 34-31 overtime win over previously unbeaten Boise State (10-1).
Boise State had coasted to 10 straight wins with victories over exactly 3 worthy teams - Virginia Tech, Oregon State and Hawaii. A 14.5-point favorite on the road against Nevada, the Broncos blew the game when kicker Kyle Brotzman missed a 26-yard field goal in regulation, and another 29-yarder in overtime.
Nevada’s redshirt freshman kicker, Anthony Martinez, did not miss his 34-yard field goal attempt in overtime.
Nevada had battled back from a 17-point halftime deficit to snap Boise State’s 24-game win streak, costing the Broncos a BCS bowl game bid, and snap the Wolf Pack’s 10-game losing streak to the Broncos. Nevada coach Chris Ault called the Wolf Pack’s upset win the biggest in school history.
In another upset, 14th-ranked Oklahoma (10-2) beat 10th-ranked Oklahoma State (10-2), 47-41, behind Sooner quarterback Landry Jones, who passed for a school-record 468 yards and 3 touchdowns. Two of the TDs came on 86 and 76-yard passes in the 4th quarter to seal the victory.
The Sooner victory left Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M in a three-way tie for the Big 12 South Division title with 6-2 records.
The other two upsets were less significant at this point in the season. Minnesota, a 3-9 team ranked 92nd, handed 24th-ranked Iowa its 5th loss of the season, beating the Hawkeyes 27-24. Iowa is now folding faster than a K-Mart deck chair.
Maryland, an 8-4 team ranked 42nd, took down 21st-ranked North Carolina State 38-31, costing the Wolfpack a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game. The Terrapins got the job done behind Danny O’Brien’s career-best 417 yards passing and 4 touchdown strikes. Any Irishman born and bred could not help but like a player named Danny O’Brien.
By losing, Iowa, North Carolina State and Arizona were bounced out of the AP Top 25 Poll to make room for newcomers West Virginia (8-3 at 23rd), Northern Illinois (10-2 at 24th) and Hawaii (9-3 at 25th).
Nine ranked teams had quality wins, either beating their unranked opponent by at least 20 points, or beating another ranked opponent by at least 14 points.
The least impressive quality win was 4th-ranked TCU giving 168th-ranked New Mexico a 66-17 beating the Lobos will not soon forget. Or maybe the Lobos will forget it, since New Mexico (1-11) is ranked last in the nation in scoring defense among major schools, giving up 44+ points a game.
Other ranked teams with quality wins included 5th-ranked Wisconsin (11-1) over 69th-ranked Northwestern 70-23, behind Montee Bell’s 178 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns. The win was Wisconsin’s 4th straight by 20+ points, and marked the 3rd time this year the Badgers have scored 70+ points.Since 8th-ranked Ohio State (11-1) and 11th-ranked Michigan State (11-1) joined Wisconsin in winning their last games this week, all three teams will share a tie for the Big Ten title with 7-1 conference records.
One of the three, Wisconsin, will play in the Rose Bowl because, even though Michigan State beat Wisconsin and Wisconsin beat Ohio State, Wisconsin is ahead in the BCS rankings that will determine who gets to go. Michigan State did not play Ohio State this season.
Other quality wins found 7th-ranked Stanford (11-1) shutting out 28th-ranked Oregon State 38-zip, 8th-ranked Ohio State leveling 46th-ranked Michigan 37-7, 13th-ranked Virginia Tech (10-2) breezing past 90th-ranked Virginia 37-7, 15th-ranked Missouri (10-2) ripping up 106th-ranked Kansas 35-7, 16th-ranked Nebraska (10-2) slamming 57th-ranked Colorado 45-17, 18th-ranked South Carolina (9-3) whipping 47th-ranked Clemson 29-7, and 22nd-ranked Florida State (9-3) humiliating 27th-ranked Florida 31-7.
Five other ranked teams managed to win, but not as easily.
Arkansas, ranked 12th and favored by 3.5 points at home, held off 6th-ranked LSU 31-23, in a win that was not significant in that Auburn leads the SEC West Division with an 8-0 mark and both Arkansas and LSU are now 6-2. Razorback coach Bobby Petrino went for it on a 4th-and-3 in the 4th quarter and Ryan Mallett threw a perfect, 39-yard pass to Joe Adams for the winning touchdown. Mallett passed for 320 yards and 3 TDs, including scoring passes of 85 and 80 in the 1st half. Mallett set the Arkansas school record with 60 TD passes in two years, and the Razorbacks have now won 6 straight after losing to Auburn.
Michigan State, 11-1 and ranked 11th, beat 49th-ranked Penn State 28-22, 17th-ranked Texas A&M (9-3) held off 53rd-ranked Texas 24-17, 23rd-ranked Utah (10-2) barely nipped 56th-ranked BYU 17-16, and 25th-ranked Mississippi State turned back 85th-ranked Mississippi 31-23.The Spartans of Michigan State had the game in hand until allowing Penn State 3 last quarter touchdowns, making the game a whole lot closer.
Michigan State’s victory was their 11th on the year, their win broke an 8-game road losing streak to Penn State (their first win at Happy Valley since 1965), and gave the Spartans a share of the Big Ten title with Wisconsin and Ohio State (all finished at 7-1). More important, Michigan State’s Big Ten crown, even though shared, was its first in 20 years.

Top 25 Poll - Week 10 - No. 1 - Auburn, Until They Lose
Auburn (10-0) just beat up AA Chattanooga 62-24, a poor choice of an opponent at this time of the season. That said, Auburn must now get serious. The Tigers host Georgia and must travel to Alabama for their last two games. If Auburn is to advance to the national championship game, they must win out. The Tigers can make a claim no other team can, they have beaten 4 Top 25 opponents - Mississippi State, South Carolina, Arkansas and LSU.

Mighty Alabama falls to South Carolina, 35-21. Oregon gets a lame victory over a weak Washington State team. Boise State and TCU win against far lesser competition than the Indiana Hoosiers, who lost to Ohio State. Who did you think should be No. 1? Try Oregon.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ - College Football Wrap-Up - Five Unbeaten Top 25 Teams Lose and Drop in the AP Poll
Copyright © 2010 Ed Bagley
When you figure out what is more exciting and unpredictable than college football during the fall season, let me know.
No less than 5 unbeaten AP Top 25 teams lost their first game over the weekend, and 3 of them suffered major upsets as well. Seventh-ranked Florida, 9th-ranked Stanford, 11th-ranked Wisconsin, 18th-ranked Southern California (USC) and 23rd-ranked North Carolina State all lost.
No. 1 Alabama just took it to Florida something awful, not only beating but crushing the visiting Gators 31-6 in a humiliation Florida players will not soon forget. In the battle of arguably the two best current coaches in college football - Alabama’s Nick Saban and Florida’s Urban Meyer - Saban wins this time hands down.
With an Alabama defense like a swarm of thirsty hornets — Courtney Upshaw had 4 tackles behind the line of scrimmage and C. J. Mosley returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown - the Gators committed 4 turnovers, and could not even smell the Alabama end zone.
And do you remember Florida’s 15-minute hero last week? You know, freshman Trey Burton who scored 6 touchdowns against Kentucky to break Tim Tebow’s record, he gained all of 5 yards on 4 carries. That’s Crimson Tide defense with style points.
The Tide may not have a lot going on offensively, but the sheer running authority of Mark Ingram (who scored twice on short runs) and Trent Richardson is enough to scare the bejesus out of any team.
Alabama’s victory was the second-most lopsided loss of Urban Meyer’s 6 years of coaching at Florida, and it came before a red sea of 101,000+ fans at Bryant-Denny Stadium. What a night for the Crimson Tide faithful, who treat SEC games like Civil War battles against the Northern intruders.
The 4th-ranked Oregon Ducks, a team that seems to come alive after they look like a cooked goose, rose from the dead after the 7th-ranked Stanford Cardinal flew into their stadium and took a very impressive, very quick 21-3 lead in the 1st quarter of this first-time match-up of these two schools as nationally-ranked teams.
After spotting Oregon an opening field goal, the Ducks could only watch as Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck threw an 18-yard TD pass, ran for a 10-yard TD, and then passed for another 44-yard TD.
But it was a couple of Oregon sophomores who would win the day. QB Darron Thomas would go 20-for-29 (69%) for 238 yards and 2 touchdowns, and LaMichael James would gain 257 yards on 31 carries (7.65 ypc) and score 3 times on runs of 5 and 3 yards before finishing Stanford off with a 76-yard burst in the final minutes.
This game was all about offense as Oregon gained 626 yards and Stanford 518. It would appear that neither team, unlike Alabama, has a defense worth talking about.
The Ducks helped their cause immensely by forcing two crucial turnovers, and holding The Cardinal pointless in the second half while scoring 4 touchdowns. It was the 13th straight win for the Ducks at Autzen Stadium, and their 10th consecutive Pac-10 victory.
Stanford has not won a game while ranked in the Top 10 since 1970.
The 11th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers forced 3 early turnovers on the 24th-ranked Michigan State Spartans, but still went into the locker room at halftime on the short end of a 20-10 score.
Head coach Mark Dantonio, who suffered a mild heart attack following his team’s last-second overtime win over Notre Dame, found himself back in the hospital for this game because of a blood clot in his leg. He had intended to be back in the coaching box.
Enter offensive coordinator Don Treadwell, who led the Spartans 45-7 win over AA Northern Colorado last week. On Michigan State’s crucial drive late in the game, Treadwell called for a successful attempt on a 4th-and-1 situation that eventually led to the 34-24 upset win.
The Spartans would convert three 3rd-downs on the drive before needing all 4 downs to score near the goal line on a 1-yard pass from Kirk Cousins to B. J. Cunningham to seal the victory.
In the most surprising upset of the week, the unranked Washington Huskies (1-2) traveled to Los Angeles and upset the 18th-ranked USC Trojans 32-31 for the second time in two years on a pressure-packed, last-play, 32-field goal by wonder kicker Erik Folk.
Last year at Husky Stadium, Erik Folk nailed a 22-yard field goal with 3 seconds left to upset then 3rd-ranked Southern Cal in what became a signature victory for first-year coach Steve Sarkisian and his Huskies.
“Sark” (Sarkisian’s nickanme) and USC coach Lane Kiffin both ran the Southern Cal offense as coordinators for Pete Carroll before Carroll left to become coach of the NFL Seattle Seahawks this year.
It was de javu all over again Saturday as Folk was forced to wait through three timeouts before nailing his winning kick with, once again, 3 seconds showing on the clock.
In one of Sarkisian’s smarter moves since becoming the Washington Husky coach, he stopped trying to force Jake Locker into becoming an NFL pocket quarterback. He let the fifth-year senior be himself by making the game plan simple and using Locker’s legs as well as his arm to humble USC once again.
After looking like anything but a Heisman candidate in Washington’s brutal 56-21 loss to Nebraska two weeks ago, Locker reminded everyone of why he was considered THE top NFL draft prospect and Heisman Trophy candidate.
He played like a seasoned warrior against USC, going 24-for-40 passing (60%) for 310 yards and a 44-yard TD pass to Devin Aguilar, and rushing for another 110 yards on 12 carries (9.17 ypc).
Locker nearly scored another TD on a long run in the 2nd quarter, but USC’s Shareece Wright came from behind to punch the ball loose and through the end zone for a touchback.
In the 4th quarter, Locker took a knee to the back on his head while on the ground near the goal line and got his breath knocked out on the same play. Backup Keith Price immediately came in and tossed a 1-yard touchdown pass to Chris Izbicki to put the Huskies ahead, 29-28.
Locker returned to engineer the long drive that set up Erik Folk’s dramatic last-play winning kick. It was the Huskies first win at the LA Coliseum since 1996. The Trojans had won 47 of 48 games on their home field against Washington until losing 3 of the last 5 games.
The 5th unbeaten team to fall was the 23rd-ranked North Carolina State Wolfpack, which could not stop the unranked Virginia Tech Hoakies on this day. The Hoakies had a lofty pre-season ranking that evaporated overnight with season-opening losses to 3rd-ranked Boise State and AA James Madison.
A different team met NC State over the weekend. After being down 17-7 at the half and then being down 17 points, the Hoakies found themselves in the 2nd half by scoring on 5 of their 7 possessions to launch one of the most impressive comebacks in school history.
In the end, NC State could not keep up, losing 41-30. Virginia Tech’s Tyrod Taylor passed for 3 touchdowns and rushed for another 121 yards, running back Darren Evans added 160 yards on 15 carries (10.67 ypc), and Jayron Holsey intercepted Wolfpack QB Russell Wilson 3 times.
Frank Beamer’s Hoakies have now beaten East Carolina and shut out Boston College to bring their record back to 3-2.
The upset losses hurt Wisconsin, USC and NC State. The Badgers dropped from 11th to 20th in the AP Top 25 Poll. The Trojans and the Wolfpack went flying right out of the Top 25 along with USC and Penn State, and were replaced in the last 4 slots by Oklahoma State, Florida State, Missouri and Air Force.
Several ranked teams scored big wins that will not hurt them a bit. They included:
No. 3 Boise State (4-0) shut out hapless, inept New Mexico State 59-zip. No. 5 TCU (5-0) shut out weak Colorado State 27-zip. No. 10 Auburn (5-0) breezed past a weak Louisiana-Monroe team, 52-3. No. 17 Iowa beat No. 22 Penn State 24-3. And No. 25 Nevada (5-0) took care of UNLV 44-26.
No. 6 Nebraska, No. 13 Utah, No. 14 Arizona, No. 15 Arkansas, and No. 19 South Carolina were all idle.
The 4 teams that played their way into the AP Top 25 Poll did so by winning. The new 22nd-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys (4-0) nipped Texas A&M 38-35. The 23rd-ranked Florida State Seminoles beat Virginia in an away game, 34-14. The 24th-ranked Missouri Tigers were idle. And the 25th-ranked Air Force Falcons turned back Navy 14-6.

Top 25 Poll - Week 9 - No. 1 - Auburn, Just Barely, Over Oregon
