Future bets are out for college football. Updated ones at least. For odds to win the national championship and over/under on wins for the season . Now that we’re about six weeks from kickoff some of these propositions start to get pretty interesting. Thanks to the NCAA threatening to geld any media outlet that actually mentions gambling and college sports in the same sentence, none of this stuff ever gets talked about. Where’s the money going as we get close to season kickoff on August 28? Not surprisingly, Southern Cal is a big favorite to win the National Championship at 3-1. Followed by the usual suspects of Florida, Oklahoma, Georgia and Ohio State. But who is sneaking into the picture after the proverbial big boys? Missouri at 10-1. Georgia sliding in at 8-1 is a horrible bet. They aren’t that much better, if at all, than several teams on their schedule and they have a quarterback in Mathew Stafford who still prefers to pick dandelions on the sideline. So waste your money on the Dawgs if you must. Seven other things that jump out at me based on these odds: 1. West Virginia even under their new coach that no one has ever heard of, Bill Stewart, is still at 15-1. Which seems surprising given a trip out to Colorado and a game at home against Auburn. That's a horrible bet. 2. Virginia Tech is lurking there at 22-1. Just tantalizing enough that if you put your money on them, you’ll start getting optimistic come mid-October before ...
