No. 1-Ranked LSU Climbs AP Polls, NCAA Odds Board
The Louisiana State Tigers are at the top of NCAA polls heading into Week 6, but are they genuine favorites on the college football betting board at this point in the season? That’s for you to decide.
Over the course of the first five weeks, the Tigers have overcome every obstacle they’ve faced, from a Week 1 matchup with No. 3-ranked Oregon to a pair of games against tough conference opponents in the competitive SEC.
Now atop the AP rankings and the SEC West, they’ll host the No. 17 Florida Gators at Tiger Stadium on Saturday.
Can the Gators bounce back from a disappointing loss to Alabama and an injury to quarterback John Brantley in Week 5? Florida’s college football odds heading into the LSU game hinge on Brantley after he twisted both his ankle and knee last weekend.
With LSU up now, and reigning BCS national champion Auburn waiting in the wings, the Gators have no time to waste mourning the events of Week 5. Instead, with backup quarterback Jeff Driskel and running backs Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps, they’ll have to turn their focus forward.
