[LongJim]

The current favorites to win the BCS title game in January, 2007, according to bodog.com:

Team Odds

Notre Dame 6-to-1

Oklahoma 6-to-1

Ohio State 6-to-1

Southern Cal 8-to-1

West Virginia 9-to-1

Florida 10-to-1

LSU 11-to-1

Texas 11-to-1

Florida State 14-to-1

Miami (Fla.) 16-to-1

"Notre Dame should be scary on offense with quarterback Brady Quinn, running back Darius Walker and receiver Jeff Samardzija, but the Irish have all kinds of defensive issues.

Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson is a tremendous running back and quarterback Rhett Bomar figures to be vastly improved, but they're behind an uncertain offensive line.

Troy Smith, Ted Ginn and Antonio Pittman give Ohio State a high-octane offense, but its defense – which lost nine starters, including several to the NFL draft – might be running on fumes.

USC doesn't have a proven quarterback or running back and its defense wasn't overwhelming last year when it had Frostee Rucker and Darnell Bing. They're gone now.

Texas doesn't have Vince Young.

Risking hard-earned money on teams with unsettled issues like these just doesn't make sense. Next season appears so wide open that teams like 70-to-1 Clemson or 80-to-1 Boston College are as good a bet as any." --Rivals
