I am supposed to believe Alabama is the second best team in the country and they are only 22.5 point favorites at home this weekend against a 4-3 Sun Belt team (Arkansas State) who lost to Memphis and Louisiana-Lafayette on the road this season. I think Vegas is on to something. I dont know the lines for sure, but I would imagine Penn State, USC, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia, and probably a handful of other schools would be favored by more than 22.5. I dont think Vegas, much like myself, expect Alabama to finish 13-0 and play for the BCS Championship.
By the way, did anyone notice the SEC West is way down this year. Auburn is a 6.5 point underdog on the road against Ole Miss. Arkansas is a 7 point home dog against Tulsa. You read that right. Did I mention LSU has given up more than 50 points each of the last two weeks?

Stop trashing the SEC. You are obviously a Pac-10 homer. Just because USC is a whopping 45 point favorite (again) against Washington doesn't mean they are good. By the way, Oklahoma was only a 22 point favorite at Washington earlier this year. Vegas must think USC is 3 touchdowns better than Oklahoma.
To be fair, Washington QB Jake Locker played in the game and wont play against USC. Is one player worth 23 points? Maybe if it is a QB. As for Vegas, they like USC over Oklahoma by 1.5 points.

USC - come on...I would take an SEC team over the PAC 10
I guess I was wrong. I should write a new post stating "Alabama is no #1". Haha. I do stand by my statement that Alabama wont win the SEC though and thus they arent no #1.
Which SEC team do you want Blaney? Other than Florida and Alabama, none of them are real good this year. You want Auburn and their 115th ranked offense or do you want Tennessee and their 116th ranked offense? You want LSU who has beat one team with a winning record this year and gave up 50 ppg in back-to-back games? Do you want Georgia that was down 31 points at home to Alabama or the one that lost by 39 to Florida?
