2009 Ncaa Football Odds – Top Five Candidates To Go Undefeated
Utah Utes NCAA football odds to go undefeated: +1000 Any time a team goes undefeated – which the Utes did last year – they warrant consideration to do it again the following year. However, it's important to remember that this is college football, not the NFL; huge turnover can turn a contender into a pretender in a single offseason. So many pieces of what made Utah go last year are gone. From last year's team, quarterback Brian Johnson, not to mention his top targets, Freddie Brown, Brent Casteel and Bradon Godfrey, is out. With so few offensive starters returning, Utah is a major long shot to go undefeated again. Ohio State Buckeyes NCAA football odds to go undefeated: +800 Even without Beanie Wells taking the rock, Ohio State could be a force this season. Terrelle Pryor, a darkhorse Heisman Trophy candidate, is a duel-threat at quarterback, capable of gunslinging or beating defenders with his feet. If Ohio state can beat USC at home early in the year and overcome a tough road game at Penn State late in the year, they could run the table. It also helps that the Buckeyes have no back-to-back road games. TCU Horned Frogs NCAA football odds to go undefeated: +800 TCU, not Utah, is the real candidate to go undefeated in the MWC. While it's true that their defensive rank last season (first in the nation) was misleading, we have to think about why the Horned Frogs got that rank. They got it playing in a weak conference and, last time I checked, they still play in that conference. They should keep teams off the board even after losing several defensive starters and the offense, led by standout receiver Jimmy Young, is solid. Florida Gators NCAA football odds to go undefeated: +400 Everyone’s hot pick to win the BCS Championship, the Gators are obviously a threat to win every game this season. Any team with Tim Tebow under center has a shot to repeat as national champs and the "D" should hang with top offenses thanks to Brandon Spikes' decision to return. A road game at LSU is a hurdle to overcome but the Gators have the talent to pull out a win. Many betting services think the Gators have the best shot to go undefeated in 2009. USC Trojans NCAA football odds to go undefeated: +350 As the old saying goes, USC doesn't rebuild; it reloads. Whenever starters depart for the NFL, the Trojans usher in new top prospects and watch them flourish. The defense lost several key starters but should recover. The offense lost Mark Sanchez but still returns nine of 11 starters from a year ago, including dynamic running back Joe McKnight. With four road games against ranked teams on the schedule, the road isn’t ridiculously easy, but the Trojans are decent sports picks to go undefeated if they shock Ohio State on the road next weekend.
