College football odds can be based on the strength of a team’s schedule.

What should be remembered though is that deciding strength of schedule in college football is not nearly as cut and dried as it is in the NFL. Turnover in college football is high and the college football odds are always altering.




As they look to defend their national title, college football odds will likely favor Alabama in every 1 of their matches this season. Some teams this season will suffer considering their slate is tougher while some teams will benefit from a less difficult schedule than they had last season. Why don’t we examine a handful of both.

Teams that may benefit this season from a less difficult schedule include Kansas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia Tech and Purdue. The Hokies confront Boise State in their starter and if they win that game they may be an unanticipated team in the national championship picture considering their schedule is positive. Because their schedule is easier than a year ago, Georgia is another team that may be an issue. Since no schedule in the SEC is effortless, as it’s the hardest conference in the country, that is somewhat relative though. A team like Oregon who plays a weak schedule in a weak conference may do well. The Ducks three non-conference matches are against New Mexico, Portland State and a depleted Tennessee team. They confront a watered down Pac-10 schedule after they win those matches as they ought to.

It’s also crucial to think about teams that may struggle due to the fact of a challenging schedule. Right at the top of that list is Penn State. The Nittany Lions are overblown with head coach Joe Paterno. His teams are overblown and he hasn’t really won anything for years. This year the Nittany Lions confront a challenging slate of matches and may fall down this season. The Nittany Lions are not likely to win at Alabama, Iowa or Ohio State. Iowa State is another team who may struggle considering their schedule is much tougher this year than a year ago. The Cyclones have challenging out of conference matches against Utah and Iowa.

Before you make your bets in college football this season, take a look at the schedule for each team and how it has changed.
