Sportsbook.com Posts College Football Odds

With the college football regular season winding down the stakes have kicked into high gear. This weekend features a slew of classic rivalries that will go a long way in deciding the fate of the nation's top programs as they fight for conference bragging rights and a ticket to one of the lucrative BCS Bowl Games. Sportsbook.com has posted lines on all the key games this week, including crucial battles in the Big Ten, SEC and ACC.

In the SEC, all eyes will be on the 'Iron Bowl' classic between Auburn and Alabama. The eleventh ranked Auburn Tigers celebrated a stunning victory over Georgia last week, and a win against archrival Alabama at home Saturday can clinch a share of the SEC West title for the Tigers. But the eighth ranked Crimson Tide will not go down without a fight as they are also still in the running for the SEC title. Home field advantage may be the deciding factor in this game with Sportsbook.com listing the Tigers as a 7.0 point favorite.

Ninth ranked Ohio State faces seventeenth ranked Michigan in a storied Big Ten rivalry. Both teams are looking to keep pace with fifth ranked Penn State in hopes of capturing the Big Ten crown. Ohio State is favored by a field goal at Ann Arbor while Penn State enters its game at Michigan State as a 7.5 point bet.

In the ACC, Virginia Tech is tied with Miami for first place in the Coastal Division, but will need to win its final two games and have the Hurricanes lose one of their remaining two contests to reach the ACC championship game. The seventh ranked Hokies face state rivals Virginia on the road and are favored by a touchdown while the third ranked Hurricanes are an 18.0 point bet at home to Georgia Tech. With second ranked Texas off this week, Miami is hoping that the number one ranked team in the country, USC, falters at home to Fresno State, opening the door for Miami to potentially sneak into the BCS Championship game. USC has won 33 straight games and 25 straight at home.

"A USC versus Texas Rose Bowl match-up seems unstoppable at this stage," says Peter Childs, Odds Maker, Sportsbook.com. "But there are so many huge games this week. This is where seasons come to an end for a lot of schools. College football fans are very demanding and for many of these programs anything short of a conference title or a berth to a high profile Bowl game is unacceptable."

Sportsbook.com also continues to post odds on the potential USC versus Texas championship game. The Longhorns are 6.5 point underdogs but 65 per cent of all bets to date have been placed on Texas to cover the spread.
