Lol it's a bad link.
Check any live sports book that offers futures and LSU is clear favorite for BCS.
Vegas Insider does not make lines they link sports books lines on their site.
Regardless of the time stamp on the web page those are not live futures odds.

OR next.
Agreed. I am confident they are from mid-Octoberish. Before the OU loss and Bama/LSU game.

That is why they call it Gambling. Oh wait i forgot been out of state too long, It's unconstitutional to gamble in Louisiana. Oh now i remember we call it gaming so we don't break any laws. upheld by the La State Supreme Court best court money can buy.

UA has to beat GA Southern, Auburn, and the #2 team in the country

Clearly these odds aren't updated. Bama does NOT have an easier road.

Because they are better than us. Haven't you been listening to their interviews?

No Championship game + OU and AL's loss would have been earlier in the season (not by much in ALs caseif LSU were to lose), but the formula takes that in consideration. Also, 2/3 of the BCS rankings are by people.

...now.. don't forget that part of the betting line is a psychological number as well, so as to start the betting ($$$). when the $ is too heavy one way, the line will move.

The odds I saw yesterday had LSU -150 Bama +150 OSU +450 OLK. +1500 Arky +2000 which means you would have to bet 150 on LSU to win 100 and you would bet 100 to win 2000 ao Arky. I don't have link but saw on the SEC board.

The bookies posting here are correct. All the current, updated odds, LSU is the pick followed by Bama, OK. St., and OK.
In terms of work on the field, I'd still say LSU has the most to do of any of those to win out. However, it's possible that LSU could lose a game, either AR or the SECCG, and still go to the BCSCG. In particular, if LSU loses only the SECCG game, I don't see how they could be ranked behind the other 1-loss teams b/c they will have more wins and will have beaten two of them (UA and UO).
