College football odds for week 6 are now live and posted<\/figcaption><\/figure>The fifth week of the college football season helped to answer some questions. Yes, Alabama is that good. Yes, USC\u2019s defense is that bad. Yes, Oregon has a chance to play for the national championship. No, Ohio State won\u2019t run over the Big 10. No, the Big 12 isn\u2019t as good as it used to be. No, Miami and Iowa aren\u2019t out of the national championship discussion just yet.<\/p>\n

The week 6 opening lines have been posted. Make sure to check our college football lines page to compare odds from a multitude of the top sportsbooks in the business. Here are some of the more intriguing Saturday games with analysis.<\/p>\n

Michigan (-5) vs. Michigan State \u2013 Bragging rights for the state of Michigan are on the line in this Big 10 battle that pits two ranked, undefeated teams that have outperformed expectations. The Wolverines opened as 5 point home favorites, but most books have come down to 4 \u00bd points. Michigan needed a monster game from Denard Robinson and some late game heroics to get out of Bloomington with a win. The Spartans disposed of Wisconsin in impressive fashion. Michigan State was the better team on the field. Michigan State won last year\u2019s match-up with Michigan, 26-20.<\/p>\n

Alabama (-8) at South Carolina \u2013 The Crimson Tide rolled over the SEC\u2019s second best team. The schedule doesn\u2019t get much easier as Alabama heads over to South Carolina for a cross divisional game with the Gamecocks. \u2018Bama opened as an 8 point favorite, but the line has moved down slightly to 7 \u00bd points. South Carolina had a bye this past week, which means Steve Spurrier has had an extra week to prepare. Alabama won last year, 20-6, but South Carolina covered the 17 \u00bd point spread.<\/p>\n

Florida (-7 \u00bd) vs. LSU \u2013 Does the \u2018L\u2019 in LSU stand for lucky? Tennessee had the Tigers beaten, but 12 men on the field gave LSU another chance and they cashed in for the victory. They\u2019re going to need more good luck as they travel to the Swamp to battle a Florida team stinging from a sound beating at the hands of Alabama. Florida opened as a 7 \u00bd point favorite, though a couple books have come down to 7 points. The Gators took last year\u2019s game, 13-3, holding the Tigers to 162 total yards of offense.<\/p>\n

Miami (FL) (-7) vs. Florida State \u2013 The Hurricanes and Seminoles renew their rivalry in what should be an intense showdown on Saturday night. The home Hurricanes started as 7 point favorites, but quite a few books are currently listing the game at 6 \u00bd points. Randy Shannon and Jimbo Fisher have to be pleased with the way their teams won tough road games last week. The two squads have heralded offenses, but each defense has quietly played particularly well in recent games. However, if the past two years are any indication of how this game will play out, look for fireworks. Miami won last year\u2019s game, 38-34, while FSU won the year before, 41-39. In each case, the visiting team came away with a W.<\/p>\n

Stanford (-7) vs. USC \u2013 The Stanford Cardinal opened as a 7 point favorite over the USC Trojans, but books have already moved that up to 7 \u00bd or 8 points. The Cardinal dropped a tough game as Oregon, while USC was stunned by Washington at home. The Trojan defense got chewed up by the Huskies, and now they have to face a much more potent offense. My, how the Pac 10 has changed! If someone had told you two years ago that Stanford would be favored against USC by more than a touchdown in 2010, you would\u2019ve laughed your butt off. The Cardinal rolled in last year\u2019s match-up, 55-21.<\/p>\n
