PrintOn Friday, Olympic Sportsbook (The Greek) released their 2010 conference and division odds for college football. The early favorites to win the ACC Atlantic and Coastal Divisions are Florida State and Miami. Just what this conference needs ... the first year that the ACC Championship Game moves out of Florida, two Florida schools duking it out in Charlotte for the title.
Here are the odds, with last year's odds in parenthesis for comparison purposes.
Odds to win ACC
Florida State +250 (+250)
Miami +250 (+500)
Virginia Tech +500 (+250)
North Carolina +500 (+500)

Boston College +800 (+8000)
Georgia Tech +1000 (+650)
N.C. State +1500 (+800)
Virginia +2000 (+2500)

While we don't condone gambling, this gives us plenty to talk about throughout the long offseason. Initial thoughts? You buying the Florida State and Miami hype? Can you believe how far down BC's odds have come year over year?

florida st/miami
i can see florida state making a run just because of christian ponder, but miami hasn’t really impressed me throughout the entire randy shannon era, despite the fact that he always seems to put together top 10 recruiting classes. maybe this is the year, but i still think v. tech has to be the favorite with that running game…
This is the year by virtue of recruiting cycle, but they've still not loaded up in the one area it counts most. OL.
I think they AGAIN don’t protect Harris and his numbers rise and fall dramatically based on the defense he faces and how well they play on the DL.
Giddy-up!
This would be
The best year to win the ACC since we got here, plus the best year to beat FSU, it would feel so good to shut these “experts” up and prove we belong in the top. We have been king of the Atlantic since we got here. If we win the ACC this year with all the hype surrounding the other contenders we will have to be respected!

IMO BC should have better odds than FSU due to schedule.
I think this is a good rating of how good the teams actually are, but odds should indicate how well they will play vs. their schedule etc. BC has quality line play on both sides of the ball and GREAT HC/DC calling the deffense and a leading rusher… that should net them some consistency and a couple of wins they “shouldn’t” according to the talking heads.
Giddy-up!
