College Football Odds Week 2: The first week of the 2009 college football season started with a bang as several games provided exciting theater. Navy nearly pulled off a huge upset against Ohio State, Miami overcame Florida State in a Tallahasse thriller, and Alabama outlasted Virginia Tech in an unexpected shootout. This weekend should have college football fans ringing with anticipation too with big match ups between Notre Dame and Michigan, USC and Ohio State, and South Carolina and Georgia. For the lastest College Football Odds Week 2 visit BetUS.com today.

While Notre Dame/Michigan is always a huge game, the biggest College Football Odds Week 2contest this weekend involves No. 3 USC at No. 8 Ohio State. The Trojans and Buckeyes kick things off at 8:00pm ET this Saturday on ESPN. 

Is it possible the Buckeyes were looking past Navy last weekend? Ohio State fans are hoping that was the case as the Middies nearly pulled off the upset at Ohio Stadium. Navy easily covered the +22.5 spread, losing 27-31. An errant throw by Midshipmen quarterback Ricky Dobbs on a two point converstion to tie the game saved the Buckeyes from potential humiliation.

Navy had nearly as many yards as Ohio State (342 to 363), as many first downs (19 to 19), and they converted 66 percent of their third downs to the Buckeyes 25 percent. Star quarterback Terrelle Pryor finished the game 14-of-21 for 174 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

The Trojans did anything but look past the San Jose State Spartans on Saturday, pounding them 56-3. USC racked up 621 yards of offense and ran for 342 at 7.6 yards per clip. True freshman quarterback Matt Barkley made Pete Carroll look like a genius, completing 15-of-19 for 233 yards and a touchdown. Running back Joe McKnight did his part to take some pressure off Barkley, rushing for 145 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries.

The USC defense showed strong as well, limiting the Spartans to a paltry 121 yards of offense. San Jose State managed just 31 rush yards on nine attempts for a 0.3 yards per carry average.
