Starting with a few longshots to win championship futures. I'll post win total future plays and week 1 when lines are posted later this summer.
Last season I nearly swept the board with win total futures.
California 75-1 .2* 60-1 .3* to win 33 units. Played at sportsbook.com and bm.
Used 2 books since I dont feel 100% about sbook ability to honor large futures. This looks like a year Tedford can beat Carroll and the price is right here.
Illinois 200-1 .1* & 125-1 .4* to win 70 units. Played at sportsbook.com and 5 dimes.
Same as above regarding sbook. These odds are great for Illinois. Toughest game is at osu who is approximately 12-1 odds to win championship, but osu has to play the mighty trojans and travel to penn st. Illinois has penn st at home and non-conference games are missouri, illinois state, fresno and at fresno st.
Oklahoma State 65-1 .5* to win 32.5 units. Played at bm.
Another longshot, this time with the Stillwater Cowboys. If they can get by Georgia in the season and home opener, they should start 4-0 and be able to climb the polls. They draw Texas at home and dont play Sooners until the final game.
Ole Miss 50-1 .5* to win 25 units. Played at 5dimes.
I missed the 60-1 or whatever some of the earlier birds got, but I'm happy to have these odds.
Not sure why 5dimes is offering this price still as pinnacle and bm currently have around half odds. Anyway, this is the team getting alot of longshot discussion this summer. Call it hype or whatever you wish, but the Rebels finished strong last season, won their bowl, and most of the team has returned. They avoid both Fla and Uga and the weaker sec teams they get on road and stronger teams travel to Oxford. Will be a nice hedge if they are 12-0 in regular season.
Notre Dame 35-1 .5* to win 17.5 units. Played at 5dimes.
Another one I wasn't on with the early birds, but I do like possibility the Irish can win 10+ games. They will get help from media and pollsters if they are near top of polls in December. The offense is loaded with top recruits and as I mentioned earlier, the Trojans aren't the automatic L they have been on other teams' schedules the past 5 years.
Rutgers 85-1 .5* to win 42.5 units. Played at 5dimes.
Schedule, schedule, schedule.
Howard, FIU, at Maryland, and Texas Southern...now thats a schedule to guarantee a bowl game. What needs to happen is other top conference teams beat each other and Rutgers is the only major conference team left standing. Schiano has been a hot name for alot of head coach jobs, but he decided to stick around. Rutgers has some returning talent and should win at least 10 games.
They could get locked out with their weak schedule, but at 85-1 why not?
Feel free to post any injury or other team information in this thread.
We still have 2.5 months until kickoff, but who's counting?
