2012 College Football Picks: BCS National Title Longshots to Bet On

2012 College Football Picks: BCS National Championship Longshots to Place a Bet On: While teams like Alabama, LSU and USC are definitely the favorites to win the national title this year, there are plenty of dark horse teams that have the talent to make a run at a championship, as well. These sleeper teams have plenty of talented players in their own a right, but small weaknesses and question marks about certain positions have knocked them down a notch in the eyes of oddsmakers. However, a friendly schedule can mask a few small flaws. After all, there aren’t many teams that could navigate an SEC schedule, but there are some that can run the table in the weaker conferences. With that in mind, here is a look at some of the teams that could emerge as surprise title contenders in the 2012 college football season.

2012 College Football Picks: BCS National Championship Longshots to Place a Bet On

1.      Wisconsin Badgers, 40/1 odds

The Badgers’ odds seem a little low for a team coming off another Big Ten title and another trip to the Rose Bowl. The loss of quarterback Russell Wilson probably has something to do with it, but transfer Danny O’Brien is capable of providing enough balance for this team’s true strength – the power running game. Running back Montee Ball is back after leading the country in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns last season. Wisconsin always rolls out a mammoth offensive line, and the Badgers should be an offensive juggernaut once again. The Badgers also dodge Michigan on the regular season schedule and get Michigan State and Ohio State at home, and winning in Madison is one of the toughest tasks in college football. Wisconsin came within two Hail Mary touchdowns of an undefeated season last year, and Ball and company have a shot at sealing the deal in 2012.

2.      Boise State Broncos, 50/1 odds

Everyone seems to assume that the departure of quarterback Kellen Moore will spell an end to the Broncos’ run of success, but critics were saying the same thing when Jared Zabransky had to be replaced by Moore. It’s now Joe Southwick’s turn to take the reins, and he has been in the system for two years, studying behind Moore. More importantly, Boise State is still the most-talented team in the Mountain West by a wide margin, especially with the departure of TCU to the Big 12. The season opener against Michigan State is going to be very tough, but don’t forget, the Broncos have ousted Oregon, Virginia Tech and Georgia in their last three openers. If Boise State gets by the Spartans, another run at an undefeated season and a potential national title shot is a real possibility.

3.      Clemson Tigers, 60/1 odds

It is easy to write off the Tigers after their ugly performance in the Orange Bowl, but they are the defending ACC champions. More importantly, Clemson has one of the best offenses in the country. Quarterback Tajh Boyd is coming off a breakout season, and receivers Sammy Watkins and DeAndre Hopkins form one of the most-explosive duos in the country. Throw in the speedy Andre Ellington in the backfield, and you will have a tough time finding a better core of offensive weapons on any team. Florida State and Virginia Tech are being picked as the teams to beat in the ACC, but Clemson’s lit up the Seminoles defense last season and knocked off the Hokies twice. The regular season finale against a South Carolina program that has owned the Tigers lately won’t be easy, but at least they get the Gamecocks at home. The schedule is far from a walk in the park, but Clemson won’t be overmatched in any game. An undefeated season can’t be ruled out.
