VegasInsider.com College Football Top 25


The VegasInsider.com College Football Top 25 is produced by veteran sports betting columnist and handicapper Brian Edwards.
Northwestern is one of two new entries into the Top 25. After back-to-back disappointing seasons, Pat Fitzgerald's team dominated Stanford in a 16-6 home win as a double-digit home underdog.

With the loss, Stanford fell from 12th to No. 21 and will have to run the table to have a shot at making the College Football Playoff. Another team that fell a bunch is Michigan State, which failed to cover in a 37-24 win at Western Michigan. The Spartans moved from No. 6 to No. 13, but they can easily jump back into the Top 10 with a home win Saturday over No. 9 Oregon.

Alabama jumped from fifth to No. 2 after spanking Wisconsin, 35-17. The Crimson Tide catapulted ahead of TCU and Auburn, who moved down one and two spots, respectively. The Horned Frogs and Tigers both failed to cover the spread in wins at Minnesota and vs. Louisville. Bobby Petrino's squad posted a backdoor cover by rallying from 21 down early in the fourth quarter of a 31-24 setback at the Ga. Dome in Atlanta. The Cardinals, who go from unranked to No. 23, lost to Auburn despite out-gaining it in the yardage department. They couldn't overcome a pair of costly first-half turnovers that resulted in 14 points for Auburn.

Boise State fell out of the rankings even though it survived an upset bid from Washington and its former coach Chris Petersen on the smurf turf. The Broncos, who were previously No. 17, beat the Cougars by a 16-13 count but were unimpressive in doing so.

Ohio State did nothing to threaten its standing at No. 1 in our rankings. Playing without All-American DE Joey Bosa, the Buckeyes exploded in the second half en route to a 42-24 win at Va. Tech. The Hokies rallied from a 14-0 deficit to take a 17-14 lead at intermission. However, when starting QB Michael Brewer was forced out of the game early in the third quarter, Frank Beamer's team couldn't generate any offense. On the flip side, Braxton Miller was busy showing his skills at his new position. He had a TD run and a TD catch as the Buckeyes hooked up their betting supporters as 14-point road 'chalk.'

NCAAF Opening Line Report: Sparty looking to pay back Ducks

Last year in Eugene the Ducks covered as heavy favorites, this time around it is the Spartans who are slight faves and looking for some payback.

Much like Week 1 of the college football season, Week 2 features a boatload of less-than-intriguing matchups. But also like Week 1, there are definitely a few games that catch the eye. And apparently the state of Michigan is opening its arms to the state of Oregon, as both state’s major programs square off against each other.

The more appealing matchup features a pair of top-10 teams, with Oregon (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) traveling to East Lansing to face Michigan State (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS). The Ducks are coming off a 61-42 victory over Eastern Washington as a massive 35-point home chalk, while the Spartans beat Western Michigan 37-24 but fell just short as a 16.5-point road favorite.

Last year, host Oregon rolled Michigan State 46-27 as a 14-point chalk. Wynn Las Vegas executive race and sports director Johnny Avello installed the Spartans as 2.5-point favorites this time around.

“Oregon beat up State at Eugene pretty good last year, and now the Spartans get a chance to return the favor,” Avello said. “Michigan State is as good as last year, and the Ducks may be down just a notch. Five o’clock start here in Vegas (8 p.m. EST) and presumably, the heaviest bet game of the day.”

Both these teams were among the best against the oddsmakers last year, with Michigan State going 9-4 ATS and Oregon 10-5 ATS.

Oregon State at Michigan (-15)

The Big House will assuredly be jam-packed and rocking as new Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh makes his home debut. Harbaugh and the Wolverines fell short on the road in their season opener, a 24-17 loss to Utah as 5-point underdogs, but would have had a shot if not for surrendering a 55-yard interception return for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter.

Oregon State could be a nice cure for Michigan. The Beavers opened the year with a 26-7 home win laying 27 points against Weber State, but they are coming off a 5-7 SU and 3-9 ATS campaign.

“Michigan didn’t show much offense in the first half in its debut, but did improve as the game went on,” Avello said. “Ute country is not the easiest of places to be successful. I expect to see the Wolverines carry that second-half success into this contest.”


Louisiana State (-3.5) at Mississippi State

It’s the first noteworthy SEC clash of the season, with a top-15 LSU squad taking on an unranked Mississippi State team that’s coming off one of its best seasons ever.

LSU didn’t get any preparation in Week 1, with its home game against McNeese State postponed by rain and lightning in the first quarter. It was never re-started and will not be made up. Mississippi State, coming off a 10-3 SU, 7-6 ATS season, opened with a 34-16 victory giving 21 points at Southern Mississippi.

“Mississippi State had a soft game to start the season, but this team is a far cry from last year’s 10-3 team. And LSU didn’t get a chance to get acclimated to the season with the cancellation,” Avello said, before noting the Bulldogs’ 34-29 road win over the Tigers last year. “LSU lost as a 9-point favorite at home last year and most likely will have revenge on its mind. I expect LSU money.”


Oklahoma (-1) at Tennessee

A pair of ranked teams take the field for a Big 12-SEC tilt, with both having won and cashed against much meeker opposition in Week 1. The Sooners drubbed visiting Akron 41-3 as a hefty 31-point fave, while the host Vols ran it up on Bowling Green State 59-30 laying 21.5 points.

These two teams also met last year, with Oklahoma rolling 34-10 as a 21-point home favorite. The line is much tighter this time around in Knoxville.

“Oklahoma had a nice showing against Akron, but the Sooners usually do play well at the beginning of the season. Baker Mayfield had a big day throwing the football, but I didn’t see much from the running game,” Avello said. “Coach Butch Jones has Tennessee on the upswing, and this contest will be a big test of just how far the Vols have come.”

NCAAF Line Watch: Keep an eye on the total in Temple-Cincinnati

The total opened at 51 in some spots and 52.5 in other locations, while finally settling around 51.5 at most sportsbooks.

Spread to bet now: Minnesota -6 (at Colorado State)

Minnesota opened as -4.5 point favorites, and the early money quickly came in on the Gophers, pushing this line up to the current price of -6. I expect more Minnesota money throughout the week, so getting less than -7 now would be a prudent move.

My power ratings make Minnesota an 8-point favorite in this game. The Gophers played to a respectable 23-17 loss to TCU in their season opener, and they get some extra rest for this game after playing last Thursday. Colorado State is a vastly different team than last season, and their 65-13 win over Savannah State means nothing as CSU was a -51 point favorite in that game. Reality sets in here, so take Minnesota now before the line goes any higher.

Spread to wait on: BYU +2.5 (vs. Boise State)

The dynamic of this game changed dramatically when BYU quarterback Taysom Hill was lost for the season after injuring his foot last week at Nebraska. BYU would have been a 2-point favorite in this game with Hill under center, but the oddsmakers adjusted and opened Boise State -1.5 on the road.

Initial money has come in on the Broncos, and some sports books have moved the line up to Boise State -3. And once the public gets involved, I wouldn’t be surprised to see 3.5 pop up. Backup quarterback Tanner Mangum played well in relief, and he was a highly-rated recruit for BYU, so he should fill in just fine. Wait for +3 or more and back BYU in this game.

Total to watch: Temple/Cincinnati 51.5

Temple and Cincinnati are complete opposites. The Owls have a terrible offense and a very good defense. The Bearcats have a potent offense and a suspect defense. This total had to be a difficult one for the oddsmakers to set. It opened at 51 in some spots and 52.5 in other locations, while finally settling around 51.5 at most sportsbooks.

Cincinnati is currently a 6.5-point favorite over Temple. The Bearcats opened at -7.5 and the line dropped a full point. With a move to the underdog, money will likely come in on the Under as well. If Temple hangs close, this game will have to be low scoring.

Buckeyes face quick turnaround for home opener

COLUMBUS -- For all the talk about the preseason battle between Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett, almost lost in the conversation was the quarterback who dropped out of the competition.

That would be Braxton Miller, who last played during the 2013 season before a shoulder injury sidelined him in 2014. Miller decided during the summer to move to the H-back/wide receiver position rather than risk reinsuring his right shoulder, and the fifth-year senior reminded everyone on Monday night just how talented he is.

Miller's 54-yard touchdown reception on which he tight-roped the sideline to start the second half in the opener against Virginia Tech put Ohio State back in front after trailing at halftime. Later in the half, Miller lined up behind center, took a snap from center and took off on a 53-yard scoring run that that featured a dazzling spin move straight out of a video game.

"People were tweeting me and telling me it's been 613 days since I touched the field," Miller said. "The time came today, God put every effort into me, and it showed on the field."

The final stats showed Miller with two receptions for 78 yards and six rushes for 62 yards and the two touchdowns. Not bad for a guy who never played the position until preseason camp began.

As for the quarterbacks, Jones was on point, completing 9-of-18 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in the Buckeyes' 42-24 victory at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va. He added a career-best 99 yards rushing on 13 carries.

When Barrett entered late in the game, he completed his only pass for a 26-yard touchdown and ran one time for 26 yards.

All the speculation about which quarterback would win the job was answered Monday night.

"It was real close," Meyer said. "Cardale finished the (2014) season as the starter and I started thinking, for him to not take the first snap, he had to get beat out. And he wasn't beat out."

Meyer remains open to playing both talented quarterbacks, but it sounds as if it's Jones' job to lose now.

"This journey is going to be interesting," Meyer said. "We've got to make sure I'm not screwing it up."

That journey continues in the home opener on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET on Big Ten Network) in Ohio Stadium against Hawaii, which opened last week with a 28-20 win over Colorado in Honolulu.

The Buckeyes face a quick turnaround with a Saturday game after their Monday Night Labor Day feature. Playing before a home crowd should help them overcome the short week to prepare.

This week, the Buckeyes welcome back All-American defensive end Joey Bosa and wide receivers Jalin Marshall, Dontre Wilson and Corey Smith. All four were suspended for the opener after violating team rules. Their return should make Ohio State even more dangerous.

NOTES, QUOTES

PLAYERS TO WATCH

--QB Cardale Jones most likely will be a handful for the Hawaii defense on Saturday. He played with the same poise in the opening win over Virginia Tech that he showed last year in helping Ohio State win the College Football Playoff national championship. Jones passed for 186 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for a career-high 99 yards and a touchdown in the Buckeyes' 42-24 victory. Jones said he didn't know for sure until just before kickoff that he would start the opener after a preseason battle with J.T. Barrett. But he continues to display a powerful arm with which he can thread the ball into receivers and the elusiveness and strength to escape the pass rush.

--RB Ezekiel Elliott, an early Heisman Trophy favorite, carried only 11 times in the opener on Monday night but rushed for 122 yards and ripped off an 80-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Depending on how much the Buckeyes want to use him against Hawaii, he should be primed for a big game. It makes sense for the Buckeyes to use Elliott judiciously against lesser opponents to save his body for the big tests later in the season.

--H-back Braxton Miller reminded everyone in the opener of his ridiculous talent. After sitting out last year with a shoulder injury, Miller made an impressive return to game action at a new position. Playing H-back for the first time in his career, Miller did a little of everything -- catching a touchdown pass and running for one with a 360-degree spin that resembled a video-game move. Ohio State moved him around the field to utilize his gifts in open space.

--DE Joey Bosa is expected to make his first start of the season after serving a one-game suspension for a violation of team rules. The talented junior should be rarin' to go after missing the opener, eager to make his presence felt coming off a Big Ten-best 13 1/2-sack season for Ohio State in 2014 that vaulted him to the top of the draft prospect charts and made him an All-American. His power and speed will be a difficult matchup for Hawaii's offensive line.

SERIES HISTORY: This is the first meeting between Ohio State and Hawaii.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "Tears running down my eyes. I couldn't really talk. My eyes got super red. (My teammates) believed in me, they raised me up when I got injured." -- WR/H-back Braxton Miller after Ohio State's win over Virginia Tech.

TCU loses LB Douglas, DE McFarland to injuries

TCU starting linebacker Sammy Douglas suffered a season-ending injury in the team's season opener at Minnesota on Tuesday night.

Coach Gary Patterson did not specify the nature of the injury but said Tuesday that it was season-ending. Douglas left Thursday's game on the second possession and didn't return.

Patterson also indicated that defensive end James McFarland, who didn't play at Minnesota, also might be out for the season, apparently because of a foot injury.

Third-ranked TCU held on Thursday night for a 23-17 road win over Minnesota.

Douglas had only 17 tackles last season, but he was the leader among returnees this year and the only experienced upperclassman in the linebacking corps. McFarland was TCU's leading pass rusher last year with seven sacks and 12 tackles for loss.

Expected to plug into their spots are redshirt freshman Ty Summers for Douglas and Terrell Lathan, Mike Tuana or Josh Carraway for McFarland.

Ducks' first concern at Michigan State is secondary

EUGENE, Ore. -- The question mark for Oregon on defense entering the season was in the secondary and Eastern Washington put an exclamation point on the Ducks' concerns Saturday.

The Eagles, an FCS school whose starting quarterback last year transferred to Oregon, had two quarterbacks combine to throw for 438 yards when the Ducks defeated EWU 61-42 at Autzen Stadium.

Oregon faces a better quarterback this week in Connor Cook of Michigan State and the Ducks know that allowing more than 400 passing yards to the Spartans will not likely result in a victory.

"There will be some things we are going to have to do because everyone is going to see the film now and say 'OK' and I am going to say 'You can try, but we are going to get better'," Oregon defensive backs coach John Neal said.

Neal praised his young secondary during fall camp and hopes the lessons learned against Eastern Washington will pay off against Michigan State.

"I think maybe in some ways, getting exposed the way we did is going to make us a lot better," Neal said. "We have to figure out some things to do to help our guys so I am kind of anxious to move forward after I watch the film."

Oregon graduated three starters in the secondary from last season. Reggie Daniels is the lone returning starter at safety while safety Tyree Robinson and cornerbacks Chris Seisay and Arrion Springs combined for four starts entering the season.

Eastern Washington receiver Cooper Kupp took advantage of the Ducks' youth and set Autzen Stadium records with 15 catches for 246 yards, including three touchdowns.

"With the inexperience we have in the secondary right now, I am trying to get them to understand our basic defense and (Kupp) was just better than we were the whole game," Neal said.

Oregon's top cornerback off the bench was Ugo Amadi, a true freshman.

"I felt like we made a couple mistakes," Amadi said. "Overall, I would say we gave it our all and our best effort."

Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said his team needs to improve on "several coverage things."

"Tackling and doing their job are the main two things," he said. "We had a couple times where guys are peeking around. We didn't do a ton on defense and what we did, obviously we want to do it clean and do it well. We had some first-time guys back there trying to peek in the backfield or peek on somebody that was not their assignment. And we need to tackle better. In the first game, you are always concerned about tackling because of the amount of live stuff you can really do in preparation for that. Obviously, we didn't do that well."

The Ducks allowed 549 yards of total offense to Eastern Washington, an average of 6.4 yards per play.

"We were expecting them to come out and attack and everything," Oregon senior defensive end DeForest Buckner said. "They did a really good job. Our defense, we have a lot of things to work on. They exposed some of our weaknesses."

OREGON PLAYERS TO WATCH

--RB Royce Freeman ran for a career-high 180 yards on 21 carries against Eastern Washington, an average of 8.6 yards per carry that was limited by three short scoring runs. He scored three touchdowns and now has multiple scores in half of his 16 career games. Freeman also had two catches for 18 yards.

--RB Kani Benoit, who had just 98 yards on 23 carries as a freshman last season, ran 11 times for 83 yards and a touchdown against Eastern Washington. Benoit moved up to second on the depth chart behind Freeman when running back Thomas Tyner had season-ending shoulder surgery before the season started.

--CB Chris Seisay led Oregon with nine tackles in his fourth career start against EWU. Seisay also had one tackle for loss and his first career interception. The redshirt sophomore is the only cornerback on Oregon's roster who started a game before this season.

SERIES HISTORY:

Oregon has won three of five meetings with Michigan State, including a 46-27 win last year in Eugene.
