Football Betting News: A look at Week 1 NCAAF odds (Part 2)

The kickoff of the 2010 college football season is less than four weeks away. Here's a look at some of the matchups involving squads that are ranked in the top 25 to begin the year: 9/4: Utah State at #8 Oklahoma (-31) The Aggies (4-8 in 2009) were one of the worst programs in the nation in the last decade. Oklahoma will look to rebound from a rare down season (8-5 in 2009) behind sophomore quarterback Landry Jones. The Sooners rolled to a 54-3 win over Utah State in Norman three years ago in the last meeting between the two schools. 9/4: Western Kentucky at #9 Nebraska (-35.5) The Hilltoppers bring a 20-game losing streak into this one. The squad dropped a 63-7 contest in last year's season opener at Tennessee. The Cornhuskers are looking to go out with a bang in its final year in the Big 12. If the offense can improve its passing game, Nebraska could make a run at a national title. 9/4: New Mexico at #11 Oregon (-34) New Mexico (1-11 in 2009) was overmatched more often than not under first-year head coach Mike Locksley. Oregon had a tough offseason. Starting quarterback Jeremiah Moseli was dismissed from the team while star running back LaMichael James was suspended for the New Mexico game due to an off the field incident. 9/4: #12 Wisconsin (-19.5) at UNLV The Badgers pulled out a 20-13 win at Las Vegas in the last meeting between the two schools in 2007. Led by star runner John Clay, Wisconsin is expected to challenge for a Big 10 title in 2010. Former Montana head coach Bobby Hauck will make his debut on the sidelines for the Rebels. From 2005-09, Mike Sanford managed to win a total of just 16 games at UNLV. 9/2: #15 Pittsburgh at #24 Utah (-3.5) These two schools will meet up on the gridiron for just the second time. In their first contest, the Utes rolled to a 35-7 win in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl to complete a perfect 12-0 campaign under head coach Urban Meyer. In 2010, the Panthers have high hopes in the Big East. Sophomore running back Dion Lewis could be a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender this year after ranking third in the country in rushing as a freshman with 1,799 yards. Current Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham has guided his squad to a 23-3 mark in the last two years.
