In spite of all of the talk about conference realignment, player suspensions, and program investigations, college football fans still love grabbing a seat and tuning in to the college football betting action every weekend. Here is a quick look at three of the most intriguing matchups heading in to week three of the college football season.
[FONT="]No. 4 Boise State Broncos @ Toledo Rockets[/FONT]
[FONT="]Friday, 8:00 PM ET[/FONT]
The Broncos could very well be bound for a third straight undefeated season, and with a week off following their emotional win over the Georgia Bulldogs, they should be ready to come out firing against Toledo. Led by quarterback Kellen Moore, Boise State has the potential to outscore any opponent, but they must approach this game with caution despite being the heavy sports betting services favorite. The Rockets are 4-0 agianst top 25 teams at home, and nearly upset the Ohio State Buckeyes in a close loss last week. The Broncos had no trouble with Toledo a year ago as they dismantled them 57-14 at home, and will look to make another statement as big wins are their only chance at gaining enough respect for consideration in the BCS national title game.

[FONT="]No. 21 Auburn Tigers @ Clemson Tigers[/FONT]
[FONT="]Saturday, 12:00 PM ET[/FONT]
The defending national champions have thrown everything they have to barely escape with wins against two opponents that would have been considered vastly inferior a year ago, and this could be the week that they falter. Auburn gave up an unbelievable 333 yards on the ground last week in a close 41-34 win over Mississippi State in which they barely prevailed with a strong defensive stand late in the fourth, and that doesn’t project well against a Clemson team that has a running game which ranks among the best in the nation this season. Clemson running back Andre Ellington is averaging 127 yards on the ground through two games, and he should be able to set the tone as Auburn finally concedes a wagering services loss.

[FONT="]No. 15 Michigan State Spartans @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish[/FONT]
[FONT="]Saturday, 3:30 PM ET[/FONT]
The betting services consistently have the Fighting Irish ranked as a team that will compete in the top 25, and in response Notre Dame consistently disappoints. It is no different this year with the Fighting Irish opening the year 0-2 despite registering over 500 yards of total offense in each of their first two games, as a defense that can’t even contain at this point continues to let them down. It doesn’t help that Notre Dame has turned the ball over 10 times in two games, and if they can even marginally reduce that number they should be able to keep this one close. The Spartans are coming off of one of the most lopsided wins of the year after blowing away Florida Atlantic 44-0, but will be in tough with a fishing games trip to South Bend against a desperate Fighting Irish team.
