UCLA at 80-1: A College Football Playoff Value Bet

But what's interesting are the odds. Look at this. Ohio State, 4-1. Georgia, 5-1. 5.5-1 Notre Dame. 6.5-1 Miami. Indiana, 8.5-1. Alabama at 11-1. They're not in the bracket at 11-1. I had to go and look at this at multiple books. UCLA, 80-1. 80-1 for UCLA. They are screaming my name at the moment. I haven't bet it yet. But I'm coming around quickly. Let's, again, a lot of football to be played. But look at the path for UCLA. Could they beat Georgia? I don't know. But could Ole Miss beat Georgia? And then could UCLA beat Ole Miss? Yup. I mean, this running attack for UCLA is literally how Miami made the national championship game last year. I mean, how did Miami make the championship game against Indiana? because they ran the hell out of the football and their offensive line was so good. That's UCLA with Bob Chesney. I mean, people need to stop sleeping on UCLA because Nico got hurt and everybody was like, oh my, the backup kid's better. Did you watch the kid? The backup kid's better than Nico. Nico's got all the name and all the hype. The backup kid that played this weekend for UCLA, I can't say his last name, so don't ask me to, but he plays better. He's a better option. He's a better passer. He's a bigger kid. he's six foot five he's a big kid who throws the ball down the field you can see over the lineman Bob Chesney's got a team hey that that UCLA Bruins team can play so i i am fascinated to watch how this plays out for the rest of the year with UCLA and whether they can run the table and if they do i mean they might get better than a six seed i i love what i am seeing out of UCLA and and they've got a big game against Michigan coming up this weekend but they should win it their schedule get this okay here is their schedule Michigan State at home Nevada at home at Minnesota home for Illinois at Michigan and then home for USC there is a really good chance that the Bruins run the table now maybe they lose to Michigan and they get upset going to the Big House i'm not going to sleep on that but there's no Ohio State there's no Indiana on this schedule for UCLA and they could wind up being a five seed they could have multiple home games i i mean Germ dog you guys gotta you have a team you got a squad Bob Chesney you got a squad and you have a schedule that is conducive to you running the table so again what will the bracket look like 80 to 1 is really interesting okay 80 to 1 UCLA can they beat Texas Tech at home uh-huh can they beat BYU on the road well i don't know that's going to be tough but if you run the football you saw what the Irish nearly did to BYU so maybe it's a nail-biter coin flip but that's at 80 to 1 why not i i think there's some real value there with UCLA with how they have been playing and the way that they're going in and given the chaos we are seeing in college football, I mean, they're a top 10 team this week, UCLA, the top 10 team. And so from a, from a numbers perspective, 80 to one, Indiana, Miami, Alabama. I mean, these are really interesting numbers because the bracket is nowhere near complete, but we don't know the draw for these guys right now. Bama's not in, and I'm not sure Alabama is going to get in to the college football playoff. There's a lot of questions going on right now in Tuscaloosa about this team because Auburn's victory is huge. So you can't like go up. That's an automatic win. You can't go and put that down down. Alabama has got Texas A&M coming to town this weekend, which should be a W. But if it's not, uh-oh, they haven't lost three games in a row in forever. They play at LSU. They play at Vandy and then Chattanooga and then Auburn. They already have two losses.
