Week 5’s CFB schedule is out, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are going to be discussing some of the best college football odds that are going to be on tap for what should be another great weekend of action on the gridiron.

We’ll start with what should be a great game in the suddenly surging Pac-12. The Washington Huskies and the Stanford Cardinal are going to kick it off on Thursday night in what should be a great start to the weekend. With as good as the rest of the Pac-12 is this year, this is a very important game for both of these teams. We’ll see just how strong Stanford really is when it has to go on the road for this one just a week and a half after taking down the mighty USC Trojans, which should make this game a heck of a lot of fun. The Cardinal have opened up this week at just -7, proving that the oddsmakers believe that they have a real chance of getting beaten.

Speaking of teams that have all to play for, that’s what the BYU Cougars have to be thinking on Friday night when they are on national television once again to take on the Hawaii Warriors. The Cougs probably know that their season is just about over with in terms of producing anything special, as they were beaten by both the Utah Utes and Boise State Broncos in back to back weeks. Hawaii is gunning for the upset on the road in a nationally televised game, but it clearly is going to be an uphill fight from the start against a BYU team that has superior talent. The Cougs are laying 27.5 at the open this week, and they really shouldn’t be challenged.

There aren’t many games that pit a pair of ranked teams against each other this week, but one of the more vital ones is going to see the Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Michigan State Spartans. Michigan State is one of the three Big Ten teams that already have a loss at the hands of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish this year, and it is just trying to keep its spot in the Top 25. Alas, here come the ultimate spoilers from Columbus though, as the Buckeyes are trying to make life a living hell on all of the other teams that are indeed bowl eligible in the Big Ten this year. This will be the biggest test of the year for QB Braxton Miller to date, as he tries to prove that he is a Heisman Trophy type of candidate on the national stage. The Buckeyes are slender 2.5 point underdogs in East Lansing.

The night cap of games sees just a slew of great teams going on the road for what might be very, very dangerous outings.

We’ll start with the Florida State Seminoles, who are the talk of the town right now after taking down the Clemson Tigers with an incredibly impressive second half of play on national television. The schedule is relatively easy from here on out, but the boys in garnet and gold have to take on a foe that they haven’t had a great history against this week in the South Florida Bulls, who have been preparing for this game all year long. This could be a real fight to the death in Tampa Bay, though it might feel like a de facto home game for the Noles, who should travel well to a huge stadium that normally has a ton of empty seats. The Noles are -16, but there is a lot of sentiment that perhaps this could be a tremendous letdown game for the garnet and gold.

Meanwhile, there are a ton of other road favorites that are either ranked in the Top 25 or almost ranked in the Top 25 that are going to be playing primetime games.

The South Carolina Gamecocks, UCLA Bruins, Boise State Broncos, TCU Horned Frogs, Texas Longhorns, Oregon Ducks, and Louisville Cardinals are all on the road this week, and they are all expected to come away with wins. We know that they all won’t though, and it is only a matter of trying to figure out which ones are going to get picked off. Texas is the one that is probably in the most trouble, as it is just -3 on the road, and the rest of these teams are all double digit favorites.

There actually isn’t a team that is a bigger favorite this week than the Alabama Crimson Tide. Granted, it’s never a surprise to know that the Tide are the biggest favorites on the board, but what makes it weird is the fact that the point spread is only 31.5 against the Ole Miss Rebels. Alabama is the only team that is favored by at least 30 this week in FBS vs. FBS games, and this is coming in a conference game. For those that have watched SEC games for years and years, it’s odd for sure, to think that these games are featuring spreads of more than four touchdowns, but this Alabama team is obviously a lot better than your average team.

A whopping 21 games on the board this week feature college football pointspreads of seven points or fewer. That’s over double the amount that were on the board at the outset of Week 4, and it might be as close of a week in terms of competition as you will see for the rest of the season.

Week 4 of the 2012 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2012 Week 4 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 4 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

We are going to have our first week of college football betting action with three weekday games before the main course kicks off on Saturday. The first of those games is in the MAC, and it pits the Buffalo Bulls against the Kent State Golden Flashes. Neither of these teams really have all that great of an offense, but neither has much of a defense either. There is a big difference between these clubs starting at 2-1 or 1-2, and one will be in each position when this one is over. This one starts the week with Buffalo at -3 on the NCAA football betting odds.

On Thursday night, the Boise State Broncos and BYU Cougars are going to battle it out in a clash of teams that want to have an impact on the BCS chase. The truth of the matter is that neither one of these teams is likely to do it, but this is certainly an elimination game for two teams that have already suffered one loss. Boise State will have the edge playing on the Smurf Turf. Both teams are coming off of a short week, but it just feels like BYU had a bit of the stuffing knocked out of it last week when it was beaten by its rivals from Utah. Boise State is laying 7.5 to open the week up.

Friday night is going to be a doozy that we are really looking forward to watching on the college football TV schedule. The Louisiana Monroe have already proven that they can play with the big boys in the SEC, and this is going to be the third straight game against a team from the AQ conferences. Baylor is right on the verge of the Top 25 once again, but this is going to be a heck of a fight, as it is the most important game in the history of the Warhawks program. Expect to see QB Nick Florence and QB Kolton Browning shooting it out in the Bayou. Baylor is getting the initial nod by 7.5-points, but it will be interesting to see what happens with this pointspread as the week goes on.

It shouldn’t be all that much of a surprise that the number of massive, massive favorites has come down quite a bit over the course of the last few days, as there is only one team in an FBS vs. FBS game that is favored by more than 34.5 points. That title goes to the Alabama Crimson Tide, who are the No. 2 team in the nation in terms of point differential this year. Alabama is just steamrolling everyone that it runs up against, and the Florida Atlantic Owls shouldn’t be all that much of an exception. This is the first time this year that we have seen an FBS vs. FBS game feature a CFB pointspread this big though, as Alabama is laying 50 to the Sun Belt cellar dwellers.

Honorable mentions go out to the Mississippi State Bulldogs, who are -34.5 against the South Alabama Jaguars, and the Ohio State Buckeyes, who are -37.5 against the UAB Blazers.

The big time games of the weekend are all featuring point spreads that really could be dangerous for the big time teams.

We’ll start at the top of the rotation schedule with the Florida State Seminoles. They haven’t had a great history against the Clemson Tigers, and this year might not be all that much of an exception. However, what we have to note about FSU, is that this might be the only game this year in which it has to play a ranked team at the time of the game between the two teams. QB Tajh Boyd knows what it takes to beat the Noles, and Head Coach Dabo Swinney does have a win here at Doak Campbell Stadium to his credit in his career. In a game that likely could (and should) decide the winner of the ACC Atlantic Division, Florida State is -14 in primetime.

Does that 14-point spread look familiar? It’s the same number that the Oklahoma Sooners are giving to the Kansas State Wildcats. Many are thinking that this game could be an upset, though last year, with KSU still nursing an undefeated season at the time, the Sooners came to Manhattan and absolutely drubbed the Cats. Could payback be in store? QB Collin Klein and his band of purple and grey clad men are going to hope so, but as the CFB odds show, it is going to be a long, uphill climb in primetime in Norman.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have to think that this is the year that they can legitimately fight for the BCS National Championship. If they run the table, they’ll be hard to keep out, but they have a big time test this week against the Michigan Wolverines. The Golden Domers have already proven that they can beat the Michigan State Spartans on the road, but this is going to be a far more interesting test against a team that has such a dynamic quarterback in QB Denard Robinson. Notre Dame is laying seven, but either way, this is expected to be a heck of a close game.

The Oregon Ducks figure to be able to romp to another Pac-12 victory this week when they take on the Arizona Wildcats, but already, we have seen some major confidence in the U of A. These two teams average right at 1,200 yards per game between them, and they are sure to be squads that are ready to put some major points on the board. Oregon is starting off by laying 23.5 of them, but that line opened at 27 on Sunday afternoon and immediately dropped before the rest of the online sportsbooks opened up. This could be a game that is a lot more interesting than the college football point spread suggests.

Down in the great state of Alabama, the Tigers from Auburn will battle the Tigers from LSU in the first real test of the year for the Bayou Bengals. LSU is laying 18.5, and that’s a heck of a lot for a team to be giving on the road in a conference game with a true freshman making his first ever big time road start.

If you’re looking for some proof that some Top 10 teams from the start of the year have really fallen flat, look at the Wisconsin Badgers and Arkansas Razorbacks. They both would have been at least three touchdown favorites, and Arkansas would have probably been a five TD favorite this week at the outset of the season, but now, the Badgers are laying just 16 to the lowly UTEP Miners, while the Hogs are giving five to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

We also want to point out that the Minnesota Golden Gophers are one of the three teams in the Big Ten that still have spotless records this year. We know that the Buckeyes are going to improve to 4-0, but Minnesota could as well. The Gophers are laying two to the Syracuse Orange in what really might be a crucial game to the bowl hopes of both clubs.

Week 3 of the 2012 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2012 Week 3 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 3 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

It is going to be a great week of college football betting action over the course of the weekend, and there are some great rivalries, especially in the SEC that are going to be highlighted. But before we get to the games in the Southeast, we’re going to take a look at the games on the college football schedule at the outset of the week.

We’ll start in the Big East, where the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and the South Florida Bulls will do battle. There is no doubt whatsoever that this is going to be the game of the weekend in the Big East, as the loser of this one is probably going to have its BCS hopes crushed already in just Week 3. South Florida is clearly the better of these two teams, and that’s what we see right now on the college football opening lines, with the Bulls favored by 8.5 points.

On Friday night, the Washington State Cougars and UNLV Runnin’ Rebels are going to go to war against one another. These two teams are a combined 1-3 this year, and last week, both teams had all that they could ask for from a pair of FCS teams. UNLV dropped to 0-2 by losing to Northern Arizona, and Wazzu really should have been beaten by Eastern Washington. Needless to say, this isn’t going to be the sexiest game in the world, but it will be one to watch, as it is the only game on the docket. Check back later for the college football pointspread for this game.

And then we head to the games on Saturday, which really should be a doozy. Of course, the one that all eyes are going to be on is the one between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Arkansas Razorbacks. This game, at least as of Sunday afternoon, is still off the board, knowing that QB Tyler Wilson might be out of the fold after suffering a terrible injury against Louisiana Monroe last week. Even worse was the fact that the Hogs lost that game. Now, they could go from a team that was ranked in the Top 10 in the land to one that could drop straight out of the Top 25 and be just a 1-2 team with a lot of questions to answer. Alabama was favored by six at the outset of the season, and if you want to see where this game ranks in our countdown of the Top 25 college football games of the year, be sure to check out our full Alabama vs. Arkansas Preview. Update 9/14: Alabama has opened up as a three-touchdown favorite on the road due to the fact that Wilson is not going to be in the lineup for the Razorbacks.

Over on the other side of the SEC, the Florida Gators and Tennessee Volunteers are going to do battle. These two teams have had a bitter rivalry against one another, and this should be no exception whatsoever. Florida was able to go on the road last week by beating the Texas A&M Aggies, and it is going to have to do so once again this week if it wants to keep this momentum going before the really tremendously difficult portion of the season gets going. The Gators are just a pick ’em though, meaning the Volunteers really have a legitimate chance to get the job done in Rocky Top.

Meanwhile in the Pac-12, the No. 2 team in the country, the USC Trojans, are going to be facing their first really difficult road test when they go down to “The Farm” to take on the Stanford Cardinal. This is our No. 9 game in our countdown of the Top 25 games of the year, and our USC vs. Stanford Game Preview. As far as the NCAA football pointspread is concerned, the Men of Troy are favored by just 8.5-points, which is a field goal down from where the game opened up at the outset of the year.

Arch rivals are also going to be meeting each other in East Lansing, where the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Michigan State Spartans are going to be facing off. The last time that these two played here at Spartans Stadium, the game down to a fake field goal in overtime that was converted by the Spartans known as the “Little Giants” play. This time around, the Golden Domers are going to be looking for some payback, but it certainly isn’t going to come easily. The Irish were barely able to escape last week from the Purdue Boilermakers, and this week, they are 3.5-point underdogs on the opening college football lines.

Not every game is going to be nearly that close. The aforementioned Boilermakers are 22.5 point favorites over the Eastern Michigan Eagles, and they are amongst the 13 teams that are favored by more than three touchdowns on the opening line.

Three teams are favored by at least 40 though and that’s definitely not something that you see every single week when you’re just talking about teams that play each other at the FBS level. Amongst the teams that are expected to really falter this week are the Florida Atlantic Owls (+44.5 @ Georgia), Idaho Vandals (+43.5 @ LSU), and the biggest of the bunch, and Massachusetts Minutemen, who are getting 46.5 against the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor.

All eyes are going to be on the Auburn Tigers on Saturday afternoon to start the day, as they are going to be on upset alert against the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks. These are the same Warhawks that were able to go into Little Rock and take down the Razorbacks last week. The challenge is significantly easier this week, knowing that the point spread is a solid two touchdowns shorter than it was then, but still, asking a team to win a game as 17-point underdogs on the road is never easy to do.

Another game of note pits the Navy Midshipmen against the Penn State Nittany Lions. PSU still hasn’t won its first game of the season, and if this one is lost, it is going to be a long, long uphill climb for the rest of the year. Navy was clocked the last time that we saw it over in Dublin against Notre Dame, but this time around, the Middies might be able to steal one on the road. The Midshipmen are 7.5-point underdogs, not all that far off from where the Ohio Bobcats were when they pulled off the upset in Week 1.

The TCU Horned Frogs are also set to open up their Big XII schedule for the first time in their school’s history, but this isn’t going to be all that much of a challenge. The Kansas Jayhawks are the biggest wrecks that the conference has to offer right now, and they are deserving 26.5-point underdogs at home to TCU.

The night on Saturday is going to end with the Utah Utes and the BYU Cougars in the “Holy War” in a battle that will clearly separate one of these two teams from the other. The Cougs could be thinking about the BCS at this point, knowing that they might be the only team in non-BCS conference fold that can run the table. It won’t mean anything without the win in Salt Lake City, though. The Utes, who lost to the Utah State Aggies for the first time last week in over a dozen years, are 2.5 point underdogs to their rivals from Provo.

The 2012 college football betting campaign is officially more than a week old, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are going to be keeping tabs on the Week 2 schedule, chock full of all of our Week 2 CFB picks and an NCAA football odds analysis.

The week begins on Thursday in the Big East with the first game of the year for the Cincinnati Bearcats. They have some high hopes that this will be a year in which they can get back to the BCS. However, the team that they are playing against, the Pitt Panthers, know that they badly need to make a comeback after getting embarrassed by Youngstown State last week in the home opener. Needless to say, it wasn’t the opener that Head Coach Paul Chryst thought that he was getting into. The Bearcats probably wouldn’t have been favored by all that much had this game been played last week, but after watching U-Pitt get trashed by an FCS team, UC is getting the nod by 3.5 points.

On Friday, it’s off to the Beehive State, where the Utah Utes and the Utah State Aggies are going to square off with one another. Both teams were able to beat FCS opponents last week, but we really probably didn’t learn all that much from those games. What we do know is that the Aggies haven’t won a game in this series in a dozen tries, and that is a streak that they will hope to end when they host the Utes in what might be the closest game that these two have played in years. Utah State is going to be hyped for this one on national television, and it is only an underdog by a touchdown.

Saturday’s college football schedule really doesn’t have all that much in the way of featured games. There isn’t a game on the docket in which two teams that started hte season ranked in the Top 25 are going to be playing each other, and that isn’t likely to change when the new rankings come out. Maybe the marquee game pits the Florida Gators against the Texas A&M Aggies in the first game for the Aggies in the SEC. A&M had its game cancelled against Louisiana Tech last week, while the Gators really didn’t look all that sharp against the Bowling Green Falcons. QB Jeff Driskel has been named the starting quarterback for the Gators, but it isn’t impressing the oddsmakers. Texas A&M, in its first game with a new head coach (Kevin Sumlin) and a new quarterback (Johnny Manziel) is favored by 1.5 points.

This is also the week for the first SEC game for the Missouri Tigers. The Tigers probably have the toughest transition into a new conference in the country, but at least they get their first SEC game in Columbia. It’ll be a tough task as well for the Georgia Bulldogs, who are amped up and ready to go, ranked in the Top 10 in the nation. Head Coach Mark Richt and the crew are thinking about a National Championship this year, but they are only laying 3.5 on the road in this one.

One of the top mid major teams in the nation this year, the UCF Knights are going to have a chance to put themselves on the map when they go into the Horseshoe to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. Both of these teams looked awfully impressive in their openers, but this is going to be a better litmus test for both than what we saw last week when Ohio State trounced the Miami Redhawks and UCF beat up the Akron Zips. Many think that this could be a game in which the Bucks are on upse alert, but the college football odds suggest differently. UCF is getting 17.5 points.

That’s really the theme this coming Saturday, though. There are currently 43 games on the board for this coming week. Of those games, 14 feature college football spreads of at least 21 points, whereas just 15 games have point spreads of seven points or fewer.

There definitely are some storylines to watch, though. The Alabama Crimson Tide are laying 40 againts the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in what amounts to be the biggest point spread of the week between two FBS teams. Of course, the biggest favorite is going to be the Florida State Seminoles against the Savannah State Tigers. The FCS reps were smashed 84-0 by the Oklahoma State Cowboys last week, and the Big XII reps opened up as 67.5 point favorites. Florida State will likely be the biggest favorite that we have ever seen in college football when this line comes out over the weekend.

Meanwhile in Evanston, both the Vanderbilt Commodores and the Northwestern Wildcats are going to be hoping to build off of positive starts to their seasons. The ‘Dores were beaten in a gritty game on opening night against the South Carolina Gamecocks, but the Wildcats won the game of the week after figuring out how to take care of the Syracuse Orange at the Carrier Dome after blowing a huge lead. Vanderbilt is laying a field goal, but you can bet that there will be bowl mania at Ryan Field, as the Wildcats are a bowl hungry team, and the crowd has to be excited with what QB Kain Colter is bringing to the table.

The Texas State Bobcats are going to be playing their first game at home in their FBS history, and they have a lot to be thrilled about. They were able to go on the road and beat the Houston Cougars last week as humongous underdogs, and this week, they are catching 17.5 at home against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Other notable games on the Week 2 college football schedule… LSU is laying 23.5 to Washington… Oregon State is going to have its work cut out for it playing against Wisconsin at Reser Stadium, where the hosts are catching 7.5 points… Notre Dame, fresh off of its romp of Navy, gets to come home, where it is laying 14.5 to Purdue… Massachusetts will be playing its first home game since becoming an FBS team this weekend, and it gets as easy of a draw as it could ask against an Indiana team that hasn’t beaten many FBS teams over the course of the last few seasons. The Minutemen are still 13.5 point underdogs, though.

Week 1’s college football schedule is just about set to get started, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are going to be taking a look at all of the games that are on the slate for the week ahead! Below, you will find a full listing of all of the Week 1 college football odds and betting lines, along with a discussion regarding some of the best games that are going to be on the Week 1 NCAA football schedule.

We’ll start right at the top on the first Thursday night of the season. The South Carolina Gamecocks are the only Top 25 team in action to start off the year, and they are going to have a tough game on the road against the Vanderbilt Commodores to start off SEC play. No one is really expecting to see Head Coach Steve Spurrier and company struggle all that much this time around, though the wonder is there whether the ‘Dores are going to be able to put up a fight in the unusually somewhat weak SEC East. Vandy is the home team, but as expected, it is a 7-point underdog to start off the campaign.

There are four new teams that are going to be playing their first FBS games this year, including the Massachusetts Minutemen, South Alabama Jaguars, Texas State Bobcats, and San Antonio Roadrunners. U-Mass starts off on Thursday night on the road against the Connecticut Huskies, and the fledging program is +25 in spite of the fact that UConn is expected to have one of the worst programs in the Big East this year. Also on the first night of the season, either South Alabama or Texas San Antonio will be getting their first win, as these two teams are playing each other in ‘Bama. The Jaguars figure to have the sturdiest program coming into FBS this year, and they are probably rightfully -6.5 at home. Texas State opens up on Saturday on the road against the Houston Cougars. The Cougs will be playing their first game without QB Case Keenum, but they are still expected to romp right through this one. The C-USA reps are -36.5, amongst the biggest favorites on the board.

The other showcase game to start off the season pits the Washington State Cougars against the BYU Cougars. This Cougar showdown is probably going to be a rather one-sided affair in Provo, but considering the fact that just four of the nine games on the first night of the season feature spreads of nine points or fewer, this shouldn’t be considered all that much of a surprise. BYU gets the nod in this one by 13.5.

Three games are on the college football schedule for Friday night. No one expects to see the Stanford Cardinal (-25.5) struggle against the San Jose State Spartans in their first game without QB Andrew Luck. The Tennessee Volunteers and NC State Wolfpack are going to battling it out in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome in a clash of middling teams in the SEC and ACC respectively. With the game being played in the heart of SEC Country, it is no surprise that Tennessee, opening up a very important season under Head Coach Derek Dooley, is a four-point favorite.

The key game on the Friday docket though, pits the Boise State Broncos up against the Michigan State Spartans. The Spartans have a heck of a schedule this year, and they are going to be in for quite the battle on Friday. This will be the debut for QB Andrew Maxwell, who is taking over for QB Kirk Cousins. Boise State has to undergo a massive change from the teams that have won just a slew of games over the course of the last few years. For the first time in four years, a quarterback not named Kellen Moore is going to be leading the troops out of the tunnel for the boys from the Smurf Turf. That doesn’t mean that QB Joe Southwick can’t get the job done, but he is going to have a tough time here in East Lansing. Michigan State is favored by a touchdown on Friday night.

We have seen some crazy start times for college football betting affairs, but perhaps we have never seen anything quite like what we are going to be seeing at the top of the mornin’ on the first Saturday of the regular season. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are going to be playing in the land of the real Irish, Dublin to be exact. The Golden Domers are playing in the Irish Motherland against the Navy Midshipmen in a 9:00 a.m. ET start. QB Tommy Rees has been suspended for this one for Notre Dame, but the Fighting Irish are still getting the nod by 17 points over what has really turned into a rather hapless Naval Academy football program.

The first game for the Penn State Nittany Lions since the finalization of the Jerry Sandusky situation could turn out to be a disaster. The Ohio Bobcats are coming to Happy Valley, and they are going to want to represent themselves well against a national power. PSU has had a ton of problems in this offseason on the field and off of it, and this is a dangerous game against a veteran team out of the MAC. The Bobcats are only six-point underdogs, but they definitely could be in for an upset when push comes to shove, and such a small college football betting line suggests just that.

As always on the Week 1 NCAA football betting lines, we have a ton of teams that are favored by just outrageous margins. Amongst them include the West Virginia Mountaineers (-24 vs. Marshall), Ohio State Buckeyes (-22.5 vs. Miami OH), Georgia Bulldogs (-37.5 vs. Buffalo), Florida Gators (-29 vs. Bowling Green), Texas Longhorns (-28.5 vs. Wyoming), Houston (already mentioned at -36.5 vs. Texas State), USC Trojans (-39 vs. Hawaii), Oklahoma Sooners (-30.5 @ UTEP), Oregon Ducks (-35.5 vs. Arkansas State), and the biggest of all, the LSU Tigers, who are -43 at home against the North Texas Mean Green.

That doesn’t mean that there aren’t some great clashes that are going to be played over the course of the rest of the day, though. It’s strange to be seeing the Boston College Eagles and the Miami Hurricanes playing this early in the season, but the two are going to be having at it for sure. No, these teams aren’t powers like they were in the Doug Flutie days, but both know that they are going to need a few wins in the ACC this year to reach bowl eligibility. With this one in Chestnut Hill, the Eagles are getting some respect, but they are still just one-point favorites.

That night back in Hot ‘Lanta, the Georgia Dome will be hosting its second game. The Clemson Tigers and Auburn Tigers are going to be fighting it out in what will look a heck of a lot like a potential Peach Bowl. In fact, these two have met in this venue a number of times before. The stakes could be higher this time around, especially for a Clemson team that is trying to prove that it can legitimately contend for a National Championship this year. Is it farfetched? Probably. But if the Tigers can’t beat the three-point spread in a neutral site game against Auburn to start off the year, there will be no doubt that they won’t be able to contend for much more than an ACC title.

But of course, the game of all games on the Week 1 College Football Schedule is the clash in Arlington between the Michigan Wolverines and the Alabama Crimson Tide. The defending BCS National Champions know that they are going to have their work cut out for them in this one, but they are going to hope to flex their muscles as they did against the Big Ten over the course of the last two seasons against Penn State. QB Denard Robinson has more on the line in this game than any individual probably has in quite some time. He is as explosive of a player as the Tide will ever see, and with a defense that could be doing some rebuilding this year, Robinson might be able to find some cracks. If the Wolverines can pull this one off, it would easily be the biggest win in the brief coaching career for Head Coach Brady Hoke, and it would really make the National Championship race this year wide open. Click Here for our Michigan vs. Alabama Preview, as it was the No. 3 game in our countdown of the Top 25 NCAA Football Matchups of 2012.

Most weekends, college football betting is said and done with on Saturday, but this week, there are still three more games to choose from. The two clashes on Saturday really might not be anything all that special. The Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals play their annual Battle for the Commonwealth on Sunday, a game which features the Cards as 13.5 point favorites. The SMU Mustangs are also going to be on the road against the Baylor Bears, who are prepping for life without QB Robert Griffin III. Baylor is favored by 10.5.

And finally, in what has become a great Labor Day tradition, the ACC opens up with its showcase game between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The stakes are clearly going to be high in Blacksburg, knowing that the loser of this game is probably already going to be out of the ACC Championship hunt. With stakes this high, it is no wonder that this is one of the top games of the weekend even though only Virginia Tech is ranked in the Top 25 of these two teams. This should be a thrilling one that comes down to the wire, as the Hokies are favored by 7.5-points. This game is so important that it is also one of our Top 25 College Football Matchups of the Year, so don’t miss out on our Virginia Tech vs. Georgia Tech Game Preview.
