 Although bookmakers currently favor USC to win the 2008 College BCS, SportsBetting.com players are betting that West Virginia will hoist the national championship trophy January 7, 2008 in New Orleans.The Mountaineers have been on an amazing run going 22-3 the past two seasons and have appeared in four straight New Year's Day bowl games. With current odds of 8-1, SportsBetting.com players think that they are ready to take the next step, receiving almost 25% of the total futures wagers to date. “West Virginia has a deadly backfield,” states Point-Spreads.com Football Handicapping Expert Brad Marchetti. “With their soft schedule, I really don’t see anyone that will be able to give the Mountaineers a loss. Their defense brings the heat and will get after the opposing teams quarterback as well.” The bookmaker favorite, USC Trojans at 5-2, have garnered 18% of the action. “I believe the USC Trojans are a bit over-rated because they lost all of their wide receivers, there running game was inconsistent last season," concluded Marchetti. "Josh David Booty is no Matt Leinart!” The top five are rounded out by traditional powerhouses Michigan (8-1), Ohio St. (30-1) and Florida (8-1) receiving 8%, 5% and 4% of the action respectively.
