    How To Bet College Futures

    The “Odds to Win” wager in college football is also commonly referred to as a future wager. Bettors must correctly select a team to win an event that takes place a later time. The money wagered will be tied up until there is an outcome and bettors will receive fixed odds when they place the wager. The future odds are normally updated on a weekly basis and wagers can be placed throughout the season.

    I just pulled that up this Saturday morning, those numbers do move quite often as necessary.

  • Gip, you can keep saying you're about facts, that doesn't make it true. Any unbiased person can see that. You've proven that time and time again whenever OSU or Michigan is involved. 

    Home Field Advantage is obviously relevant in college football. What are you talking about?

    Plus, we play MSU and OSU on the road, so what are you even talking about? Plus ND on the road.

    Unbiased?  You expect me to be unbiased about OSU/Michigan?   What fuyucking planet have you been living on?   Hello...McFly...is anybody home?

    Besides....I agreed with you that the FMU schedule was brutal.   WTF was it about that that you did not understand.

    Nevertheless.....It is a FACT that    FMU plays only one P5 non conf. game...OSU plays 2.  It is also a FACT that you DO have those tough games vs.  Wisconsin and Penn State at home.   OSU has to play Penn St. on the road...and they too have to play  Mich. St. on the road.

    As I said....the ONLY factor that I can see that gives FMU a more "brutal" schedule than OSU is that Wisconsin game. (if you count the game vs. each other as a wash....though playing OSU on the road is another factor.)

    Your problem....apparently...is that you just cannot handle someone agreeing with you.  Mich. does have a brutal schedule, for sure.

    So what do you think, with that brutal schedule:   7-5?  6-6?

    I hope he goes to Cincy 

    I don't want him in Cincy with Fickell.

    I think LSU would be a better fit.

    Why not Oklahoma with Lincoln Riley? Sooners better Qb Kyler Murray is playing baseball & looking more like MLBaseball. Riley and Sooners still have talent & with Burrow it would close the gap with Bama at #1. Burrow may even play Michigan or Buckeyes in major bowl at Homa..

    I think he would be a great fit the Sooners, but I haven't heard any rumors about Joe going to Norman.

    No matter where Burrow goes, the Buckeye's AD must sign off on the transfer.

    That will probably put the nix on the Nebraska rumor (since Joe has family working for the Cornhuskers) because I can't see OSU letting him go to another Big 10 team.

    I’ve heard the rumors of UC, Florida, LSU, and Nebraska but haven’t heard about Oklahoma.

    I think Riley could use a QB of Burrow’s caliber...I hope he lands there.

    Joe has the talent to play in one of the P5 conferences, so if he went to the MAC it would be a step down.

    Urban never felt the need to play Burrows because he didn't recruit him.

    Which in hindsight, is probably better for Burrow's being developed as a QB elsewhere.

    Its not like Urban Meyer is a QB whisperer...just look at JT Barrett.

    Well to be fair to Urban, whether he is or isn't, his system doesn't require it. 

    It will be interesting to see if they utilize the passing game more now with Haskins at QB.

    Sure, look at him:  one of the most successful  college QBs of all time.   As was Braxton Miller before him.    And don't forget that he had Tebow at FLA.

    And that he developed Alex Smith at Utah.

    So, while it may not be said that he develops a lot of QBs that end up doing well in the NFL....he has had some.    Smith:  #1 overall pick...still starting in the NFL.  Tebow....one game when he punked the Steelers...that was good enough for me out of him.  His OSU QBs?  Not designed to really move to the next level.  

    He coaches QBs to win at Ohio State....not necessarily beyond that.

    I mean, honestly....some of the best pro QBs ever were not necessarily the cream of the crop when it came to their college careers.  Brady....had to fight for a starting job his whole time at Mich.  Brees...went to Purdue....where they likely won nothing.  Ben R.  Good in college, likely underrecruited. 

    Favre, Marino, the Mannings....Rivers, etc.   Not great success per se in College.

    And, FYI,  here is the list of QBs who have won the national championships since 2000:

    Josh Heupel   Okla

    Ken Dorsey  Miami

    Craig Krenzel  Ohio St.

    Matt Mauck  LSU

    Matt Leinert  USC

    Vince Young  Texas

    Chris Leak  Florida

    Matt Flynn  LSU

    Tim Tebow Florida

    Greg McElroy  Alabama

    Cam Newton   Auburn

    AJ McCarron  Alabama

    Jameis Winston  FSU

    Cardale Jones OSU

    Jake Coker  Ala.

    DeShaun Watson   Clemson

    Jalen Hurt  Ala.

    Only  one single proven quality NFL starter there.  Newton.  Others, like Winston and Watson still have the book out on them.  A couple were thought to be strong pro QB candidates, but flamed out:  Young, Leinert.  One became a decent backup QB at best:  Flynn.  

    So, I think I can say this with some confidence:  total success in the college game does not really translate into success in the NFL.   And vice versa....QBs have to be good....but their NFL prowess may have little with how they ...or their team, did in college.

    Lincoln Riley's QB Kyler Murray to replace Baker Mayfield just went 9th overall to Oakland in MLB draft..Baker still thinks Kyler would break his school records if plays Oklahoma football. Thats a big "if" for Lincoln & Baker now

    Woody, what’s your record prediction for michigan this year?

  • MLD WoodyM MLD Woody wrote on last edited by MLD Woody

    Oh man, I'll have to think about that. 

    We'll for sure be better than last year. Essentially everyone returned. Even if we're so unlucky to get to our 3rd string QB, they're a bug step up from Okorn. Shae should be an improvement as a starter. We could also have the best defense in the country. 

    We have one of the toughest schedules in the country though. Plus some uncertainty at offensive tackle which could really hurt. 

    The opener at ND will be huge going forward. 

    I want to say 10-2, optimistically, but the schedule is just really rough. Maybe 9-3?

    But we can't continue to be perpetually unlucky forever, right? We'll get some of that OSU good fortune at some point.... Right? .... right.... 🙁
