USC vs. LSU/OSU for National Championship?

[DesertCat]

Bookies think that USC and LSU would meet in a national championship game if the NCAA had a football playoff system.

"True, USC might be ranked No. 8 in the BSC rankings, but over the long haul of a playoff system, we see them winning the whole thing," said BetUS.com oddsmaker Reed Richards.

Richard Gardner, Bodoglife.com's sports-book manager, agreed but said he thinks LSU is the second-best bet. So did the oddsmakers at BetCRIS.com.

"USC started slow, but they've been playing great football lately now that everyone is healthy," Gardner said. "LSU was the second favorite, as we feel like they would beat every team but USC on a neutral field.

"The performance by the Big Ten over the last two years hurt Ohio State in our rankings. Kansas has the longest odds, as they have had the easiest schedule. Their game vs. Missouri showed they aren't ready to play with the big boys."

Actually, it looks like Bob Young miscounted, I think OSU comes in second on two out of three sports lines. This makes the Rose Bowl the de facto NCAA National Championship Game.
