Which Fan Base Will Rush the Field First in 2018?
Now here's a bet I've never seen before, and it's interesting that the three squads with the best odds are all from the SEC.
Kentucky's first two home games are against Central Michigan and Murray State so the oddsmakers must be looking ahead to their September 22 Lexington date versus Mississippi State.
From looking at the schedule, it could come down to week 2 considering South Carolina hosts Georgia three and a half hours before Texas A&M kicks off at home against Clemson.
Team | Odds |
---|---|
Kentucky | -110 |
South Carolina | +150 |
Texas A&M | +150 |
Connecticut | +300 |
Toledo | +300 |
Old Dominion | +300 |
Field | -110 |

Where Will College GameDay Set up Shop on September 8?
After spending week 1 in South Bend, there are five likely locations to host the ESPN College GameDay crew.
The five biggest matchups on paper for week 2 are Texas A&M vs. Clemson, Oklahoma vs. UCLA, South Carolina vs. Georgia, Stanford vs. USC, and Kansas State vs. Mississippi State.
Considering the Aggies open the year against Northwestern State and Clemson hosts Furman, it's difficult to see Lee Corso and friends anywhere but College Station.
City, State | Odds |
---|---|
College Station, Texas | -150 |
Norman, Oklahoma | +150 |
Columbia, South Carolina | +150 |
Palo Alto, California | +200 |
Manhattan, Kansas | +200 |
Field | +150 |

Who Will Lee Corso Select?
Speaking of "Not so fast, my friend," which squad do you like him to choose just minutes before the first full Saturday of college football gets going? He certainly does have a reputation of taking the Irish.
Team | Odds |
---|---|
Notre Dame | -120 |
Michigan | -120 |
