Three straight double-digit win seasons came to a crashing halt last season, as the Oklahoma State Cowboys finished the year just 6-6 and needed a bowl win to avoid a sub-.500 campaign. Oklahoma State hopes that is just a bump and that it will be right back to pushing for 10 wins. The current college football odds don’t make that seem too likely in 2019, as the team’s projected win total this year is conservative. Oklahoma State has a nice track record of late but there are enough question marks... 

The Penn State Nittany Lions have started to recruit at a higher level in recent years, which should mean some good times ahead. However, there are always peaks and valleys for programs, and there is concern 2019 will be a rebuilding campaign for Penn State. The Nittany Lions lost a lot of talent off last year’s squad and need to fill some high-profile holes, most importantly at quarterback following the departure of Trace McSorley. Penn State might not be a top contender for the Big Ten title t... 

The Ohio State Buckeyes will enter the 2019 season with one of the most talented rosters in college football, like usual. However, a pair of changes at two key spots have allowed for the current college football odds to decline just a tad compared to normal. The Buckeyes must weather the losses of coach Urban Meyer and star quarterback Dwayne Haskins off of last year’s team. Ohio State is relying on new coach Ryan Day to make sure there isn’t a huge dropoff, while Justin Field will aim to replac... 

The Northwestern Wildcats are in the midst of a fantastic four-year stretch in which they have won at least nine games in three of those and are coming off a 10-win campaign. However, the team lost its heart and soul after last season with the departure of star quarterback Clayton Thorson. Northwestern has bucked the odds of late by remaining competitive against their more decorated Big Ten brethren, but the current college football odds are forecasting a step back in 2019.... 

The Oklahoma Sooners are on a ridiculous run at quarterback, as they have produced the past two No. 1 overall picks in the NFL draft. Baker Mayfield earned the top spot in 2018 and Kyler Murray was the pick in April. It’s not easy to replace that type of talent but Oklahoma is confident it can keep things rolling offensively with the transfer addition of former Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts. Oklahoma is expected to be one of the best teams in the country again after making it to the College Fo... 

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish made a big statement in 2018, finishing the regular season undefeated and making it to the College Football Playoff. They didn’t win the title but nonetheless it was an impressive showing from a group intent on returning to the upper echelon of college football. Notre Dame would love to remain in that championship conversation once again in 2019 and does have some key pieces back, but the current college football odds are projecting a step back for the Fighting Iris... 

Will the Clemson Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide meet in the National Championship game again this season? Clemson and Alabama have met in the title game in three of the last four seasons and they begin the 2019 season ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the polls. Clemson features quarterback Trevor Lawrence, while Alabama has Tua Tagovailoa. Let’s look at the odds on this title game prop at BookMaker and some things to consider.... 

Rivalry games are usually saved until the end of the season, but college football fans are in for a treat when the Week 0 battle for Florida resumes on Saturday, August 24, 2019. The Miami Hurricanes and Florida Gators will meet for the first time since the 2013 season and both have a chance to make an early statement. Current college football odds have the Gators favored by 7.5-points as they look to build off a 10-win season. The Canes, meanwhile, are looking to get the Manny Diaz era started ... 

The Nebraska Cornhuskers had a second straight brutal year in 2018, winning only four games in front of a fanbase that expects its program to compete for conference titles and national championships. Despite the slow start to the Scott Frost era, there is a lot of optimism heading into this season. Nebraska has a star-in-the-making at quarterback and the current college football odds are projecting a big-time turnaround in 2019. Nebraska has lost some luster off its program in the past several y... 

The Michigan Wolverines’ 2018 season was rolling right along until the very end of it. Michigan was blown out by Ohio State and then Florida, putting a sour end to the campaign. The Wolverines faithful surely expected to be a major player in the College Football Playoff year in and year out under coach Jim Harbaugh, but that has yet to happen. Michigan hopes 2019 is the season that it gets over the hump, and the expectations are high. The current football odds have placed the team’s projected wi... 

The Mississippi State Bulldogs won a decent amount of games a year ago, but proved they were not ready to consistently compete with the big boys in the SEC. Coach Joe Moorhad believes his team can take the next step forward in 2019, but there are questions about that with an offense that could have issues passing the ball. Mississippi State may be able to grind out some victories this season, but as the current college football odds will attest, the ceiling for this team may not be super high.... 

The Oklahoma Sooners have become the program where quarterbacks want to go to win the Heisman Trophy, as in the last two seasons, Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray won the award. Not only did Mayfield and Murray win the award, they ended up going No. 1 in the NFL Draft. Will Jalen Hurts be the next Oklahoma quarterback to win the Heisman? He comes over from Alabama after losing the starting job to Tua Tagovailoa. Let’s look at the latest odds on Hurts winning the Heisman and the odds on him making... 

The Michigan State Spartans were struck by a rash of injuries a year ago, which contributed to a down season. Michigan State finished the year with only seven wins as the offense was the main culprit in the struggles. The Spartans have a lot of talent returning and are expected to put together a stronger season in 2019. The current football odds have Michigan State getting back to its winning ways with a solid year. While the Spartans aren’t expected to be among the chief contenders in the Big T... 

The Miami Hurricanes had one of the better defenses in college football a year ago, but some poor offense and bad luck in close games resulted in just a 7-6 season. Mark Richt retired after the season and the reins have been handed to defensive coordinator Manny Diaz. That side of the ball should be strong once again but the Hurricanes’ fortunes may come down to how well they do on offense. The current college football odds project an uptick in success in 2019.... 

The Memphis Tigers lost some significant pieces from a year ago, from both their roster and their coaching staff. However, enough talent returns that coach Mike Norvell’s squad could push for a third straight American Athletic Conference West Division title and another berth in the conference’s championship game. The current college football odds have a high number of wins projected for the Tigers as they have a schedule that looks quite manageable in 2019.... 

The LSU Tigers have enough talent to be one of the better teams in the country in 2019, but they also have the type of schedule which could accumulate a fair number of losses. The oddsmakers took both into consideration when listing the current college football odds, which have LSU at a projected nine wins this season. The Tigers have been good but not great for the past several years and are hoping to take the next step and push Alabama and Georgia in the stacked SEC.... 

The Georgia Bulldogs have elevated to one of the best programs in the country, and they are once again expected to be in the mix for the national championship in 2019. The Bulldogs have the talent to make the College Football Playoff by racking up the regular season wins. The current college football odds project a really impressive season as Georgia is likely to finish with double-digit victories. There is no Alabama on the regular season schedule this year, which is a big boost for Georgia’s a... 

The Iowa State Cyclones have not traditionally been among the better teams in college football, but there is a lot of optimism surrounding the program heading into 2019. Iowa State is coming off a campaign in which it won eight games, and, more importantly, ended the season with some serious momentum. True freshman quarterback Brock Purdy proved to be a revelation and big things are expected of him as a sophomore. Coach Matt Campbell has drawn interest from bigger schools but has remained with I... 

The start of the Willie Taggart era was awful, as Florida State struggled badly in 2018. The grace period is gone and the former Oregon coach could already be on the hot seat if the Seminoles don’t show significant improvement in 2019. Florida State went only 5-7 a year ago and missed a bowl for the first time in 37 years. The current college football odds do foresee a bounceback with some more regular season victories this year, but another underwhelming showing could be the cause of great alar... 

The Florida Gators exceeded expectations a year ago, winning 10 games and returning to the upper tier of college football. A program that used to be one of the best in the country is hoping to stack another solid year in 2019 and return to the upper echelon of the SEC. Florida has reason for the optimism but the oddsmakers are pulling back the reins a bit, as the current college football odds have the Gators dropping a handful of games during the season. This is a big season for the Gators, who ... 

The Auburn Tigers didn’t live up to expectations in 2018, as a team that entered the season ranked in the top-10 nationally fizzled to an 8-5 finish. There are some concerns heading into 2019 as quarterback Jarrett Stidham has moved on to the NFL and there is no clear-cut heir apparent that can be counted on to get the Auburn offense rolling. The Tigers should have a really good defense, and that should keep the team competitive, but the schedule is challenging. The current college football odds... 

The Clemson Tigers are coming off an absolutely dominant 2018 season, and with star quarterback Trevor Lawrence back to lead the way, the expectations are just as high for 2019. Clemson went 15-0 last year and blasted Alabama to win the national title. Clemson has reached the Crimson Tide’s level as these two programs are clearly the best in college football. The current college football odds have a gaudy win total for Clemson but bettors are not shying away from putting their faith in the Tiger... 

The Army Black Knights were terrific a season ago, winning 11 of their 13 games to finish with a top-20 national ranking. There is a lot of talent returning in 2019 and the expectations remain high as the season approaches. The current college football odds are forecasting another double-digit win win season for the Black Knights if the projected over/under win total is any indication. Army has a dominant ground attack and as long as the defense steps up, it is shaping up to be another successfu... 

The Alabama Crimson Tide fell short of its goal last season, losing in the national championship game to Clemson. Alabama has superstar quarterback Tua Tagovailoa back in the saddle and he is once again flanked by an embarrassment of riches. The Crimson Tide have high expectations and the current college football odds reflect their standing as one of the two best programs in the country. Alabama has an extremely high win total for 2019 but is talented enough to cover if things go well.... 

Among the big topics heading into the heat of training camps is of course speculation about who will be the starting quarterback at some of the top college football programs in the country. It all starts with the Oklahoma Sooners and graduate transfer Jalen Hurts, who has emerged as a large betting favorite to take over under center at a program that has made back to back playoff seasons. Up north the Wisconsin Badgers have what could be the most interesting battle. Jack Coan took over as the st...
