Current Odds to Win The 2014 College Football National Championship For Every Contending Team Below!

The current list of week 15 BCS national championship odds can be found at the bottom of this post.  14 weeks are complete and there are 2 undefeated teams left for the BCS championship. After the conference championships this weekend, the BCS matchups will be finalized. This week, we will take a look at the teams that are legitimate contenders.

Of the BCS championship odds, the favorites are the #1 ranked Florida State Seminoles (1.4 to 1 odds @ WagerWeb) and deservedly so. The Seminoles have dominated the opposition, and won in convincing fashion this weekend against Florida. They play the upstart Duke Blue Devils, who will be looking to pull off the upset. Currently they are more than a four touchdown favorite, but can’t overlook Duke, as they are a team that capitalizes on team’s mistakes.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are currently listed at 5 to 1 (at WagerWeb) to win it. The Buckeyes have to take care of business in the Big Ten championship and will face a stingy defense in Michigan State. In my opinion, with these odds Ohio State is worth a play. Why not? Take a look at it this way. Let’s just say they take care of business this weekend and advance to the championship game. They have a great coach in Urban Meyer and will have a month to prepare. In the month leading up to the big game, all they will hear is how they are in a weak conference and don’t belong. I love a team that is counted out based on their schedule; motivation is always a huge factor. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see the Buckeyes win it all, as they definitely have the offense to keep in the game.

The Auburn Tigers are currently listed at 5 to 1 (at WagerWeb) to win the BCS championship. Well, they have to play Missouri, which will be a tough test after an extremely emotional victory over Alabama. That victory might get them into the big game, depending on if Ohio State wins or how they look against Michigan State will determine if they leap over the Buckeyes. With these odds, there isn’t too much value in my opinion, as they are listed at the same odds as Ohio State, yet have a tougher team in front of them and need an Ohio State loss.

Missouri is currently listed at 11 to 1. Why not take a shot with the Tigers. In my opinion, as stated before, they will be facing an Auburn team that is coming off a big win against Alabama. Not only that, but after Auburn won, all the players and fans were saying was they deserved to be in the national championship. Well, they may deserve it, yet they still have Missouri to play. Were they overlooking Missouri? Quite possible, but this Missouri team is extremely talented, and they are very capable of beating Auburn. Should they win, and Ohio State loses, they could pass Alabama and get a spot in the championship. Voters will see that Missouri’s only loss was in double overtime with their backup quarterback.

Finally, Alabama is listed at 44 to 1. Anytime I see Alabama at these odds, I’d take it. As stated above, Missouri might pass Alabama should they win. However, this is still an Alabama team that lost on the road on one of the craziest plays in college football history. Voters still respect Alabama, and if Ohio State and Auburn lose, they could very well put the Crimson Tide in the championship game. Their only loss was on the road, while Missouri’s was at home, that’s just something voters will look at.

• Florida State: 1.4 to 1
• Ohio State: 5 to 1
• Auburn: 5 to 1
• Missouri: 11 to 1
• Alabama: 44 to 1

Week 14 of the 2013 college football season was by far one of the most memorable weekends in recent memory. The Iron Bowl between Auburn and Alabama did not disappoint, and in fact exceeded expectations as it ended with one of the most memorable endings in college football history. Chris Davis from Auburn ran back an Alabama field goal attempt for a touchdown with only 1 second left on the clock. As a result, Alabama dropped to #4 in the BCS rankings, while Auburn moved up to #3. (Continued Below)

Current BCS Rankings Top 5 as of 12/3/13
Florida St. Seminoles              .9948
Ohio St. Buckeyes                    .9503
Auburn Tigers                          .9233
Alabama Crimson Tide            .8539 
Missouri Tigers                        .8428

Florida State was the main beneficiary of Alabama’s loss, as they moved up to #1. The Seminoles took care of business defeating rival Florida 37-7. Ohio State also benefited greatly, as they moved up to #2. The Buckeyes were lucky to win, as Michigan decided to go for two on the final play of the game. The attempt failed, resulting in a 42-41 win over rival Michigan. (Continued Below)

Current BCS Rankings & BCS Standings (as of 12/3/2013)

As of now, Ohio State leads Auburn by the slimmest of margins. Some are suggesting that Ohio State needs to win impressive in the Big Ten championship. Should they struggle, Missouri or Auburn, who play in the SEC championship, could leap over Ohio State. You also have Alabama still at #4, and they have a slim possibility of getting into the championship game, but needs a lot to happen. The Crimson Tide will need both Florida State, Ohio State, and Auburn to lose. Florida State is more than a four touchdown favorite over Duke and the Seminoles should dominate, as they have all year.

One thing is for sure, the BCS will be set in stone after this weekend. Who plays in each contest still remains to be seen, as nothing is guaranteed, especially after seeing the events unfold last weekend.

Orange Bowl: TBD

And it all comes down to this! The BCS National Championship Game picks are finally here to be made, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are looking at some of the best college football prop picks on the board and showing you how you can win on the BCS Championship Game without playing the Alabama vs. Notre Dame odds or spreads.

Team To Call First Timeout: It seems like something awfully stupid to bet on, but when push comes to shove, most of the early timeouts that are called in games are called because coaches and players aren’t so sure of what they are ultimately supposed to be doing. Alabama has been here and done this time and time again, whether it be here at the National Championship Game, playing in the SEC Championship, or playing in front of tens of thousands of fans at Tiger Stadium or any of the other huge venues that the SEC has to offer. Notre Dame plays its share of big games, but this is as big as it gets. QB Everett Golson isn’t even trusted in the two minute drill, and it just doesn’t look all that pretty for him under center in this game. The Alabama defense is fast, strong, and hits incredibly hard, and that really could confuse the heck out of Golson early on. Significantly more often than not, it seems as though Notre Dame will be calling the first timeout of the contest. Notre Dame To Call First Timeout (-125)

Will AJ McCarron Throw a Touchdown Before an Interception?: This is one of these no-lose props for us as we see it. McCarron only threw three interceptions all year long, and two of those came in one game against the Texas A&M Aggies. He just isn’t put into positions where he can get into trouble all that often, and Head Coach Nick Saban really protects him. Yes, the Notre Dame defense is great, and yes, that might keep him from throwing a touchdown at all. However, knowing that we are getting our money back if neither a TD nor an INT is thrown, there is just no way that we think that McCarron is getting picked off first. At -500 is probably the fair price for this prop, and we’re going to take full advantage of it. AJ McCarron To Throw a Touchdown Before an Interception (-200)

Will AJ McCarron Throw an Interception?: Same shtick. Considering the fact that he was picked off in two out of 13 games this year, we really don’t see McCarron getting intercepted in this game. AJ McCarron To Not Throw an Interception (-110)

Will Jeremy Shelley Miss a Field Goal?: We’re not ones to say that a kicker can never miss, but Shelley just isn’t put into a position to miss all that often. He is the short range kicker for the Crimson Tide, and he is the only kicker in America that didn’t miss a single kick this year. It’s ridiculous to think that he is posted at just -220 to not miss a field goal in this game when he hasn’t missed all year long. Jeremy Shelley To Not Miss a Field Goal (-220)

Eddie Lacy Yards On First Rushing Attempt Over/Under 3.5: Lacy averaged 6.5 yards per carry this year, and he is running behind the best offensive line in the country. Apologies to the Fighting Irish, but they aren’t holding Lacy under four yards on more than half of his carries in this game in all likelihood. Eddie Lacy Yards On First Rushing Attempt Over 3.5 (-115)

Everett Golson Over/Under 205.5 Passing Yards: Alabama conceded just 166.2 passing yards per game this year, and Golson averaged under 180 passing yards per game. Granted, we know that Golson has played against some tough defenses, but he hasn’t seen a team like this one. He has at least 200 passing yards in four straight games, but those games have come against Pitt, Boston College, Wake Forest, and USC. This is a much tougher task and should be a lot more like the game that he had against Michigan State or Stanford, both of which he was mired under 180 total passing yards. Everett Golson Under 205.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Kyle Brindza Over/Under 6 Points: We would basically need Brindza to boot two field goals to win this prop bet for us, and we think that it is very reasonable that he would ultimately be able to do that. Remember that Brindza kicked 23 field goals for an offense that often sputtered down near the goal line this year. It’s absolutely unimaginable to think that Alabama is going to post another shutout in a second straight National Championship Game, and though it might be ill-advised, we have to think that the Notre Dame kicker will at least get a couple of cracks from inside 40 yards or so in this game. Kyle Brindza Over 6 Points (-140)

Will Everett Golson Throw a 1st Half Touchdown Pass?: The better question might be asking whether Golson is going to throw a TD pass in the entire game or not. The Alabama defense probably isn’t allowing more than one TD for the whole game, let alone for the whole half, and the likelihood that Golson throws it isn’t all that good. Remember that this is still just a sophomore, and it comes in a game against a fantastic defense. Golson only threw 11 TDs all year. There doesn’t seem to be even a 40% chance of him throwing one in the first 30 minutes of this game. Everett Golson Doesn’t Throw a First Half Touchdown Pass (-160)

Current BCS Standings (as of October 25, 2009):

2009 BCS Predictions (as of October 20, 2009):

Well let the controversy begin or at least that is what the BCS Standing major goal is to accomplish right? In case you missed it, the first BCS Standings were released this week for college football. Will this finally be the year we have such a catastrophe in the BCS Polls that it finally causes a playoff to be adopted in college football? We think it could be for a number of reasons. Most importantly is that one of the non major conference teams will be undefeated and when say non major we mean outside the SEC and Big 12. Boise State, Cincinnati, and TCU all have really good chances to end the season undefeated. Of course if any team ends the year undefeated they have the right to make their claim for a National Title especially after Utah thumped Alabama in the Sugar Bowl last year. All of this expectations and predictions may be a little premature. However rest assured in early December after all the Conference Title games have been played, the BCS will implode and cause some major disappointments for college football enthusiasts. Check out these big BCS Standings predictions.

BCS Standing Prediction #5 – TCU and Iowa will fade.

TCU is catching a lot of attention as there is a lot of people who think they can run the table. The Horned Frogs have a very talented defense that will keep them in every game they play this season. However, they have some big games left on the schedule against BYU and Utah. The TCU offense will have to step up if they are to run the table and quite honestly they do not have the firepower to keep up with those explosive scoring teams. TCU may get a win out of those two games, but they will lose at least one knocking their chances for a BCS Bowl out of the picture. Iowa is in a similar boat as well. The Hawkeyes keep winning in less than convincing fashion, but their momentum is running on thin ice. The Iowa offense is not moving the ball very well and they rank outside the top 75 in total offense with just 351 yards per game. In fact the offense has just produced 24 points per game this season as well. While the Big Ten teams are not known for huge offensive numbers, they are known for strong defenses. The Hawkeyes offense will be stopped in their tracks and it could be as early as this weekend on the road at Michigan State. If that does not knock them off track, the Buckeyes will get their chance to do the deed at the Horseshoe.

BCS Standings Prediction #4 – The SEC will sport two BCS Bowl Berths

Well this is a pretty easy prediction. Florida ranks number 1 in the standings and Alabama holds down the number 2 spot. In fact they are exactly vice versa in the AP Polls. It is a fair argument to say they are the best two teams in the country and are on a huge collision course for the Georgia Dome that will host the SEC Championship game. There is not any team left on either schedule that poses any big threats. Of course Florida has looked vulnerable while the Tide has rolled. Even if one falls to an upset they will meet in the SEC Championship. The winner will be fighting for the SEC’s 4th straight National Championship and the loser will still earn an at large berth in one of the other 4 BCS Bowl Games.

BCS Standings Prediction #3 – No. 20 Pittsburgh will earn a BCS Bowl Berth

The Pittsburgh Panthers may be well down the BCS Standings at this point in the season, but they will make a climb to the top. Despite being a fairly average team, the Panthers conference schedule sets up beautifully for them to win the Big East. Pittsburgh already suffered a loss to North Carolina State this year and will likely suffer another out of conference defeat when the Fighting Irish come to town in a few weeks. However, those losses will keep the in conference games in perspective and not allow any upsets. West Virginia and South Florida will both have a good chance to take down Pittsburgh, but the Panthers will have just one Big East loss when they host Cincinnati in their final game of the year. QB Bill Stull and freshman running sensation Dion Lewis provides Pittsburgh with plenty of weapons to take on Cincinnati. Plus Cincinnati star QB Tony Pike is questionable for his arm to stay healthy. Pittsburgh may have anywhere from an 8-3 to 9-2 record when they host the Bearcats in the season finale. However, there will only be one conference loss giving the Panthers the opportunity to win the Big East at home and they will get the job done.

BCS Standing Predictions #2 – USC quest for 5th straight Rose Bowl will end

USC has been to the Rose Bowl the last 4 straight season and 5 of the last 6 years as well. The Trojans have won 7 straight Pac-10 titles and have reached and has reached a BCS Bowl Game in every year of that impressive stretch as well. However, we are sticking to our early season prediction that USC will not win the Pac-10 title this season. The Trojans got a big win over California, but the Golden Bears are not the team we thought they would be. However, the Oregon Ducks will play the spoiler role. Oregon is still the only team left in the Pac-10 that has not suffered a conference loss and they control their own destiny in terms of a BCS Bowl Game. The Ducks also hold a big advantage as they will get USC at home on October 31st. That will be a huge game for both sides and we still like Oregon to pull out the victory. However even if USC wins and they experience another slip up as they are accustomed to experiencing, Oregon will still make it to the Rose Bowl ending the Trojans impressive run.

BCS Standings Prediction #1 – Boise State will shake up everything

If the other BCS Busters can not get the job done, the Boise State Broncos should throw a wrench into everything this year. Boise State faced one of their biggest remaining challenges towards perfection this past week with a 28-21 victory over Tulsa. Out of the remaining 7 games on the schedule, only Idaho owns a winning record. However, the Broncos are not likely to give into the upset bug like so many others will experience during the latter part of the year. QB Kellen Moore has the offense under control with 16 touchdowns to only 2 picks this season along with 1,404 yards. Hawaii and Nevada are potential teams that could pull of the upset along with Idaho. However, it does not seem things will work out so perfectly for the BCS as it has in year’s past. The Broncos offense will run the table against the weak pass defenses of the WAC and they will be undefeated when the BCS puts a 1 or maybe even a 2 loss team in the BCS Championship game instead.
