While all 119 Division I teams enter the 2006 season with fresh records and on equal footing with championship desires, the linesman at Pinnacle Sportsbook believe only a small number of teams stand any realistic chance of winning the BCS Championship Game on January 8th.
In what’s definitely a shocker, the West Virginia Mountaineers are currently a +650 favorite to win the national championship mainly because of their relatively soft schedule Notre Dame is a slight underdog to capture their 14th national title at +700 odds, followed by the number 1 ranked team in the poll Ohio State at +750. Even though USC has lost the big 3 Leinart, Bush, and White, USC has been installed as a +800 underdog to win the national crown. Pinnacle must believe that even though they lost all that talent, the Trojans will not miss a beat. Rounding out the top 5 are the Florida Gators lead by quaterback Chris Leak at +1000.
