Lesson No.1 if you come around here, and you're getting ready to bet on some Week 9 college football games this Saturday, including Bulldogs vs. Gators in Jacksonville, Florida:
NEVER hinge your bet on whatever your favorite pregame show says before kickoff. Instead, make a habit of dissecting spreads and 💰 lines to arrive at your bet - because nothing Tim Tebow says is going to help put 💰 in your college football bankroll. Let's take a Bet ✓ of my Top-10 ranking$. (Note: I apply a betting value perspective to my rankings.)
1.) Georgia: The Bulldogs, at around +105 bet to win the national title, are still the best college football team in the country as they prepare for the Gators as a -14.5 favorite. Rivalry games should be played with a Sharp's eye, but if the Bulldogs win on Saturday they can start planning on the SEC Championship Game.
2.) Cincinnati: Still relatively untested through two months, but a date with SMU in late November will likely determine the Bearcats path to the CFP. Or elsewhere. In the meantime, bettors should track the over totals as Cincinnati looks to run up some scores on their opposition in hopes of earning points with the committee.
3.) Ohio State: This isn't the same bunch that lost to a flawed Oregon team at home. If the Buckeyes, a short price to get back to the CFP, get past the Wolverines they will likely play deep into January.
4.) Alabama: There is a good chance the CFP committee will overlook all of 'Bama's issues if they get by Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. It might be a good idea to get a price on the Tide getting to the CFP.
5.) Michigan: Is this finally the year the Wolverines get in done vs. Ohio State? If so, they're going to be doing some serious 🎳.
6.) Oklahoma: Plenty not to like here, but the Sooners still remain one of the nation's undefeated teams so that counts for something. But bettors should proceed with caution when backing Oklahoma.
7.) Ole Miss: Warning: The Rebels continue to show marked improvement on defense, and if they box in Auburn .. another jump in the rankings is likely to come soon.
8.) Oregon: The Ducks, who appear to enjoy playing down to their competition, barely survived UCLA. How many more chances will they get before luck runs out on Phil's Kids? Bet the Ducks with extreme caution.
9.) Michigan State: Is a powerful running attack is enough to keep the Spartans relevant among some of the above? Brand matters around here and Michigan State just might be a little too green when it comes to cache.
10.) Notre Dame: The 'Irish got well on offense vs. USC last week -- after struggling for much of the season with Jack Coan under center. Regardless: Don't fade the 'Irish just yet. See above!
