    Notre dame would be a good pick with their schedule and talent I would yhave had them at 30-1 or so.

    BTW, ND should be about 1,000,000 to 1. THey suck.
    Wanna bet 50 cents on those odds? :D
  • SQ_Crazies
    If I had it, I wouldn't sweat a drop betting a billion that ND won't even make the title game.

    I'd take the field at 100-1 before I took ND at 100-1
  • killer_ewok
    So you guys don't think a team with 100-1 odds has a remote chance for the title game?

    After such a profound statement.....I think the obligatory "Mark it down" should've found it's way into your posts.
  • newarkcatholicfan
    Notre Dame as usual very overrated at 100-1.
  • Al Capone
    I may fly out there and put a couple Gs on Pitt.
  • krambman
    I'd say anyone below 25-1 odds really doesn't have a shot.
  • cats gone wild
    Whatever SEC team wins the SEC title game has the best odds in winning the title. At least its been that way for awhile.
  • BigAppleBuckeye
    Iowa at 20-1 is an interesting play ... hmmm.

    Unless they have to play a hapless depleted Penn State.

    The SEC champion won't be playing won't be playing in the capital one bowl.

    LSU didn't win the SEC last year. So I don't really understand where Sleeper is going with that comment

    Its his education. Remember how he always brings that into play for football teams.......lol

    A WAC team and a MWC in the top 4, interesting.
  • swamisez
    I like Virginia Tech at 15-1

    maybe Penn St. would fare a little better in title games against the SEC, than what OSU did? At least it might be competitive.
  • Hesston
    I saw or actually heard SI's pre-pre season rankings on Herd the other day....#1 Alabama #2 Boisie St #3 Ohio State #4 Texas #5 Iowa.......Florida was 9 or 10
  • thesystem
    There is a team missing from the list. Ranked top 5 in some pre-season polls, no worse than top 10 in others. Nebraska?
  • UA5straightin2008
    im gonna put 100 on OSU

    But Alabama does play Penn State in the regular season which is what I believe Sleeper is referring to.

    I will guarantee he was talking about the Capital One bowl from last year when penn state beat LSU.

    Won't matter at the end of the season, if Boise and TCU are still undefeated by the last few weeks of the season, they bigwigs will get nervous and the human voting element will take care of them. One of them may crack the 2 spot at some point during the season if either Alabama or OSU loses, but you can bet by the end of the season, regardless of record, Boise and TCU will NOT be in the NC game. If it takes putting in a 1 loss team in front of an undefeated Boise team again, it will happen. Nothing in recent history suggests any different.

    I really think you're wrong on this. If Boise State is one of only two undefeated teams at the end of the year, they will play for the National Title. There is no way they could not be voted in if they are undefeated with wins at Virginia Tech and against Oregon State. There's just no way that they could vote in a one-loss OSU or Texas team over an undefeated Boise at that point. And if they voted Boise in they would throw a parade for them to show how great and fair the BCS is.

    And if Boise makes it the the National Title Game, as the son of parents who now live in Idaho, I'll be doing all I can to attend that game.
