Convenient for Who?

Good news for gamblers! The ACC is releasing NFL style injury reports!

In case you had no interest in betting on Furman@VT, The Citadel@Clemson, Gardner Webb@GT, South Carolina State@Clemson, and other EXCITING ACC non conference match ups, now you have something that might bring you to the table!

The ACC announced at their media day this week that ACC training staffs will release twice-weekly injury reports. The coaches claim that this is an easier way to get the information out to the media, or as Al Groh puts it, "I don't have to answer those stupid questions during the week."

Sorry to bother you Al, but we all just wanted to know which way to lay the money...

Is this process really for the coach's convenience, or is it a way to encourage betting on the games? What do you think? Conspiracy crazies - enjoy!

2008's Season Win Totals

Colin Cowherd released on his show this morning the Vegas Sports Consultant's over/under, season win totals, for the 2008 college football season. The complete list is here (scroll down past the odds of winning the national title).

The following are some of the most interesting:

USC - 10.5
Georgia - 9
Ohio State - 10
Michigan - 8
Penn State - 8.5
West Virginia - 9.5
Florida - 10
Kansas - 8
Notre Dame - 7

UNLV is 1000 to 1, and Nevada 400 to 1 odds to win it all. Vegas REALLY doesn't want to touch ANY local money!
