because they came out before the LSU/Bama game?

Without clicking the link, my guess would be easier road to get there.

I don't think that is current. Penn State is still listed as 100/1, but Oregon is off the board with no odds.
My guess is that these odds have not been updated in weeks.

Don't complain. If you can find the bet, take it and win.

I know absolutely shite about betting and odds, but I cant imagine anyone betting against us the way we have played this season... can anyone else help make sense of this??

In his defense, the page actually says that it was updated this morning...

This.
If those are current, I am going to Vegas and betting my life savings.

To win the nat'l championship:
LSU has to beat Ole Miss, Arkansas, Georgia and the #2 team in the country
UA has to beat GA Southern, Auburn, and the #2 team in the country
OU has to beat Baylor, Iowa State, OK. St. and the #2 team in the country.
Though it controls its own destiny, LSU has the most difficult path. It has to beat 3 top 10 teams, OU has to beat 2, and Bama 1. OU probably edges Bama on odds b/c of the additional events necessary for Bama to make the BCS final.

It says 2012 BCS NC.
Now, i KNOW the game is in 2012...but, are we not actually battling for 2011 Championship?
Are those NEXT year's odds or is that the ods to win the game PLAYED in 2012.
Hope i make sense with my question.
ETA: Lists Boise St at 4th best chance. They have NO chance at this season's

OU also has an edge b/c if they win out the computers will put them ahead of all other 1-loss teams

Boise has No chance and board says 8/1
Posted on 11/16/11 at 8:39 am to BiggerBear
I think they came out before the season.
Or maybe sometime in the 1980s.
Call me crazy, but Florida State at 12/1 is a little pricy. Not too much value there.

fixed it.
I am not blaming the OP and it may say "updated Nov 16", but that has old odds written all over it. Nothing on there makes sense.
And no, Bama doesn't have an "easier path". LSU can lose a game and still play in the BCSNC. Bama has to win out and hope the world turns upside down.

No doubt. It even says:
Event Date: 01/03/12
isn't the BCS CG on 01/09/12????
