NCAAF Betting Online: The Fighting Irish playing the Crimson Tide brings us a matchup of old school college football tradition in an epic defensive battle.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are not coming back gradually after 24 years since they won a national championship. They are all-in with an undefeated season and a BCS National Championship game with the defending BCS champions, the Alabama Crimson Tide trying for their third BCS title in the last four years.  Continue...

NCAAF Betting Online: Both the Panthers and the Rebels come into this NCAAF Bowl game with unimpressive 6-6 records so don’t expect a game you will remember the next day.

If you’re looking for the best teams in the nation with winning records and teams with no flaws battling for BCS Bowls glory, then this is definitely NOT the game for you. If you are looking for fun and m  Continue...

NCAAF Betting Online: Kent State is 11-2 just missing a BCS Bowl bid and will be battling Arkansas State who put a decent 9-3 record together this year.

This game will have the unique quality of having both coaches already accepting a different job coaching somewhere else but one of them is sticking around.  Continue...

NCAAF Betting Online: The 10-2 Cardinals will attempt to upset the 11-1 Gators by trying to overcome what may be the best defense in NCAA Football.

Louisville hasn’t been in a BCS Bowl game since 2007 when Bobby Petrino coached them to a strong 2006 campaign going 12-1. They won the Orange Bowl against West Virginia and were ranked sixth in the Final BCS Rankings that year.  Continue...

NCAAF Betting Online: The top NCAAF Bowl game that is not a BCS Bowl is definitely the Cotton Bowl between SEC representative Texas A&M and Big 12 team Oklahoma, both teams that finished the regular season 10-2.

This Cotton Bowl should be a great watch offensively matching up two teams that were past rivals in the Big 12 and that each average over 500 yards a game and over 40 points a game each. The over/under point total at BookMaker is a whopping 72 points scored by both teams. This sounds like fun!  Continue...

NCAAF Betting Online: ACC Champion Florida State Has Solid 11-2 Record and will test unproven 12-1 Northern Illinois from the MAC. NIU comes in here as the first MAC school (and last hopefully) trying to follow the path of some other big upsets in BCS including the Utah Utes upsetting the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, the Boise State Broncos beating the TCU Horned Frogs in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl and the TCU Horned Frogs shocking the 2011 Rose Bowl crowd with a surprise victory over the Wisconsin Badgers.  Continue...

NCAAF Betting Online: The mighty Ducks of Oregon and the equally impressive Kansas State Wildcats both bring 11-1 records to the best NCAAF Bowl Game next to the BCS Championship Bowl Game.

The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl has the gem of the NCAAF Bowl season matching the two teams that appeared to be in a head on collision to play each other in the BCS National Championship game. Both Oregon and Kansas State suffered losses when they were ranked 1-2 in their second to last regular season game.  Continue...

Bet Chick-fil-A College Football Online: The Chick-fil-A Bowl pits strength against strength, as one of the nation's best offenses faces one of the top defenses when No. 14 Clemson and ninth-ranked LSU meet New Year's Eve night at the Georgia Dome. Both Tiger teams came into this season with high expectations after winning their respective conference titles a year ago. A last-minute loss to Alabama essentially took LSU (10-2) out of this year's SEC race, while a Clemson (10-2) setback at Florida State prevented it from playing for the ACC title.  Continue...

Bet NCAAF Online: Mike Gundy has had plenty of success in his eight years at Oklahoma State, and it seemed inevitable his name would pop up for a high-profile job despite a disappointing regular season by his standards. Oklahoma State had won at least nine games in each of the previous four campaigns, finishing 11-2 in 2010 and 12-1 with a Fiesta Bowl victory last season.  Continue...

Bet College Football Online: After a two-year bowl hiatus due to NCAA sanctions caused by principals long gone, USC (7-5) makes its return to the postseason Dec. 31 in El Paso, Texas, where it will take on Georgia Tech (6-7) in the Sun Bowl.

Bet NCAAF Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl Online: Expectations were high for Michigan State and TCU after each posted 11 victories during the 2011 season.

Bet NCAAF Online: Following a dramatic win over Navy ended the regular season in similar fashion and now looks to add another triumph to its bounce-back campaign its archrival, Arizona State wants to cap coach Todd Graham's promising first year with a bowl victory.

NCAAF Betting Online: The sixth ranked Stanford Cardinals play an unranked team in Wisconsin, but sometimes these teams can be dangerous when peaking at the right time. The Rose Bowl can’t be too happy to taint their pristine record with the first five loss team to ever play in it, the Wisconsin Badgers.  Continue...

Bet New Era Pinstripe Bowl Online: Old Big East rivals square off in Yankee Stadium when West Virginia and Syracuse meet in what is expected to be one of the highest scoring of all the bowl games (December 29, 3:15 ET - ESPN).  Continue...

NCAAF Betting Online: Northwestern has lost all nine bowl games they played in since the only victory in any College Bowl games happened in the 1949 Rose Bowl, but they have a chance to end that against Mississippi State. Mississippi State is not a team that will dazzle you with brilliance, but they will keep tugging along and rack the wins up under the radar. This is a team that doesn’t slow down either, and they have a current record of 5 NCAAF Bowls in a row beating their opponent.  Continue...

NCAAF Betting Online: The New Year will kick off with an SEC and Big Ten showdown between sixteenth ranked Nebraska and seventh ranked Georgia, two teams that lost their conference championship games and with it a chance to play in a BCS bowl game.  Continue...

NCAAF Betting Online: The BCS Bowl games almost had the Gamecocks rightfully in one of them, but they got squeezed out and into a tough defensive game against the Wolverines featuring Denard Robinson in his last college football game. Before you jump to conclusions on which team to bet based on the Wolverines having 4 losses, take a look at the teams that beat them or what I call the best of the best.  Continue...

Bet Little Caesars Bowl Online: A lot is happening in Hilltopper nation! To replace the man who seemingly built it all at the FBS level for Western Kentucky, the school chose the man who lost everything only eight months ago. After making the most controversial hire in the annual coaching carousel by giving Bobby Petrino another chance, the Hilltoppers try to cap a successful season with a victory in their first bowl appearance Dec. 26 in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl against Central Michigan in Detroit.  Continue...

Bet NCAA Football Online: San Jose State Coach Mike MacIntyre engineered a stunning turnaround that allowed him to move to a more high-profile job. MacIntyre inherited a program that won two games in 2009 and guided the Spartans to a 1-12 mark in his first season. A 5-7 season followed before San Jose State went 10-2 this year to finish in second place in the Western Athletic Conference and clinch the program's first postseason game since the 2006 New Mexico Bowl. The only problem is that MacIntyre took the vacated job at Colorado and will not coach the team in the bowl game. Defensive coordinator Kent Baer will be the team's interim coach for this game. The Spartans have won six straight and can reach the 11-win plateau for the first time since the 1939 team went 13-0.  Continue...

Bet Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl: The Rice Owls 6-6 record isn't anything to get overly excited about, but Rice has every reason to feel good about themselves heading into its first bowl game since 2008. Ending that drought seemed very unlikely after the Owls lost five of their first six games, but they rebounded to win five of six, including their final four contests. They became bowl eligible with a 33-24 victory at UTEP on Nov. 24.  Continue...

Bet College Football Online: UCLA made strides in its first season under Coach Jim Mora but again faltered down the stretch. Baylor showed it could win without Robert Griffin III, though it took until late in the season to prove the point. After coming up short for the second straight year in their bid to reach the Rose Bowl, the 17th-ranked Bruins look to avoid their third straight 0-3 finish when they take on the surging Bears in the Holiday Bowl at San Diego on Dec. 27 AT 9:45PM EST.  Continue...

Bet Russell Athletic Bowl Online: The 2012 Russell Athletic Bowl pits the Virginia Tech Hokies against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Kickoff is set for 5:30pm est. on December 28th and the game is played at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida.

Rutgers (9-3) can win 10 games this year for a record third consecutive year with a win against Virginia Tech and the Scarlet Knights season could have been better if it didn’t squander a 14-3 third quarter lead in the Big East Championship to eventually lose in overtime to Louisville and squash their chances of earning a BCS bid.  Continue...
