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

What should be remembered however is that determining strength of schedule in college football isn’t nearly as cut and dried as it is in the NFL. The college football odds are always changing since turnover in college football is high.




As they look to defend their national title, college football odds will most likely prefer Alabama in every 1 of their competitions this year. Some squads this year will benefit from a less difficult schedule than they had last year while others will suffer due to the fact their slate is more difficult. We will take a look at a few of both.

Kansas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia Tech and Purdue are a few squads that may benefit this year from a less difficult schedule. The Hokies face Boise State in their starter and if they win that game they may be an unpredicted team in the national title picture due to the fact their schedule is favorable. Georgia is another team that may be an issue due to the fact their schedule is easier than a year ago. Because no schedule in the SEC is simple, as it’s the hardest conference in the nation, that is somewhat relative though. A team like Oregon who has a vulnerable schedule in a vulnerable conference may do well. The Ducks 3 non-conference competitions are vs New Mexico, Portland State and a depleted Tennessee team. They face a watered down Pac-10 schedule after they win those competitions as they should.

It is also significant to take into account squads that may struggle due to the fact of a hard schedule. Penn State is right at the top of that list. The Nittany Lions are overrated with head coach Joe Paterno. He hasn’t really won anything for years and his squads are overrated. This season the Nittany Lions face a hard slate of competitions and may fall down this year. The Nittany Lions are unlikely to win at Alabama, Iowa or Ohio State. Iowa State is another team who may struggle due to the fact their schedule is much more difficult this year than a year ago. The Cyclones have hard out of conference competitions vs Utah and Iowa.

Take a look at the schedule for each team and how it has changed before you make your wagers in college football this year.
