College Football?
Who’s a better team?Michigan or Notre Dame(Please do not go by last weeks game on who the best team is) Also who is ur favorite college football team?
College football fans don’t appear to be quibbling much over who the nation’s top two NCAA clubs are.
The gambling specific BGS Power Ratings list LSU as the nations top college football team, followed by Oklahoma in second with USC 3rd & Florida 4th.
Professional Handicappers League members Jerry Johnson and Jimmy Boyd totally concur with the Associated Press’ current opinion poll that has Southern Cal on top, followed by LSU.
AP has defending national champion Florida in third, slightly ahead of Oklahoma.
Boyd would reverse that, while Johnson chacterizes third and fourth as a coin flip.
The Las Vegas Hilton has USC and LSU at 9/5 and 5/1 respectively to win the 2008 BCS Championship Jan. 8 in New Orleans.
The Trojans are just 2-0 while the Tigers, Sooners and Gators are 3-0.
"USC still has to be the favorite to win the title," said Boyd, who trails only George Smeader in the PHL’s overall standings.
"They have offensive balance and, in my opinion, the premier defense in the country.
"LSU is my No. 2.
"They embarrassed Virginia Tech (48-7) and if they embarrass South Carolina this week, they’ll be making even more believers out of people.
"Oklahoma is right on USC’s toes, but they haven’t played the same caliber of non-conference opponents.
"Miami is not the usual Miami, so I don’t give as much weight to that (51-13) blowout."
Johnson lives in Omaha and was in Lincoln last weekend for Southern Cal’s 49-31 triumph over then No. 14 Nebraska.
"USC is very, very good," Johnson said.
""They’re even bigger and faster when you see them in person.
"It was pretty clear Nebraska couldn’t keep up."
Johnson likes the Sooners and Tigers for the same reason: solid defenses.
"This could be (Oklahoma Coach Bob) Stoops’ best defensive team," he said.
"LSU also has a very strong defense."
Aside from the fact Florida has "been there, done that," Johnson is impressed with the way Gator players hold Coach Urban Meyer in such high regard.
"They play their hearts out for this guy," he said
Florida meets Mississippi this week as -23 point chalk.
The "Big Four" are laying double-digit lumber: OU is giving 20 points to in-state rival Tulsa, Washington State is getting 27 from USC, LSU is giving 16 to South Carolina.

Michigan has more naturally gifted athletes but couldn’t put it together for the first two games against a fast spread offense. Notre Dame will easily go under .500 whereas Michigan, at least on paper, could play spoiler and contend for the Big 10 title given that the Big 10 is weak this year.
My favorite team is Cal (Univ. of California Berkeley) but I also love watching Clemson (Spiller and Davis are amazing) and just about any SEC game.
