Default the top 25 college football teams in 05 according to vegas

Rank School Odds to win BCS 2004 SU Record 2004 ATS Record
1 USC 8/5 13-0 8-5
Eight starters back on offense, including Heisman contenders Matt Leinart and Reggi Bush. Trojans open at Hawaii.
2 Texas 6/1 11-1 5-7
The hype in Austin is familiar, but Vince Young's talent is unique.
3 LSU 16/1 9-3 5-6-1
Les Mile has inherited talent galore, but is JeMarcus Russell the answer at quarterback?
4 Michigan 18/1 9-3 5-6-1
Offense should be dynamite with eight starts back, including QB Chad Henne and RB Michael Hart.
5 Iowa 15/1 10-2 8-3-1
Drew Tate if the best QB in the Big Ten and the Hawkeyes have the best linebacker in the country. Schedule is a killer, though.
6 Oklahoma 14/1 12-1 4-9
Sophomore RB Adrian Peterson will be getting a lot of touches in 2005.
7 Miami 15/1 9-3 7-5
Unlike last year, the defense will be UM's strength.
8 Tennessee 14/1 10-3 6-7
UT has eight starters back on offense, nine on defense. However, it has road games at Florida, LSU, Alabama and Notre Dame.
9 Virginia Tech 12/1 10-3 9-3
If Marcus Vick can limit his turnovers, the Hokies will be a top-five team.
10 Florida 12/1 7-5 7-5
During Urban Meyer's two-year tenure at Utah, the Utes posted a 20-4 spread record.
11 Purdue 150/1 7-5 5-7
Ten starters return from a defense that held foes to 17 points or less in seven games last year.
12 Louisville 40/1 11-1 10-2
Look for monster numbers from QB Brian Brohm and RB Michael Bush.
13 Ohio State 7/1 8-4 7-5
Nine starters back on each side of the ball. The Buckeyes play host to Texas and Iowa in September.
14 FSU 25/1 9-3 5-7
With Wyatt Sexton suspended, redshirt freshman QB Xavier Lee is the likely starter. The 'Noles open with the 'Canes.
15 Georgia 60/1 10-2 4-7
D.J. Shockley finally gets his chance to be the starter in Athens.
16 Boise State 300/1 11-1 7-5
Watch out for possible upsets when Boise play at Georgia and at Oregon State in early September.
17 Texas A&M 75/1 7-5 7-5

Auburn has won 15 consecutive games going into this year's opener versus Georgia Tech.
19 Alabama 100/1 6-6 6-5

QB Tyler Palko and LB HB Blades are two of nation's most underrated players.
21 Texas Tech 200/1 8-4 6-6
