but Auburn seems to be the best combination of decent payout and actual shot at winning the thing...



I disagree with the latter.

Michigan State is almost a shoe-in for the playoff now that Miller's out. Winning the B1G is now MUCH easier than winning the SEC.

Can't disagree with that...30:1 is pretty attractive.

sidenote: accidentally upvoted my own post...probably a douche move.

I do wonder if a loss to Oregon makes it difficult to get into the playoffs even if they win the big 10. You got to think the SEC and FSU will get there. With Baylor so depleted on defense, I just don't see OU not winning the big 12. I personally think the last one will be between the PAC and Big and even if Oregon doesn't win the conference, the PAC will have one leg up on the Big.

So Bama and UGA are out then for the national title based on what you just said. Both of them are replacing QBs too. I would say LSU too since they have a pretty green qb themselves

Miller didn't practice at all in the spring, and was splitting duty in the fall(with soreness).

OSU/Bama/UGA/LSU recruit on a level to where of course losing great players hurts, but there are usually younger great players ready to step in.

Someone said somewhere OSU was 50/1 somewhere. 50/1 for a team that has top 5 talent accumulated with a coach who has gotten it done twice before. I think that's not a bad value
