College Bowl Game Betting System - Off a Loss
By Michael Williams (2/13/2007)
One of the biggest kept secrets in College bowl betting was exemplified in the Rose Bowl 2007. USC, the #8 seed, beat up on the #3 seed Michigan Wolverines by 14 points.
USC was very clearly the obvious choice. They lost the championship game the prior year to the Texas Longhorns at the Rose Bowl. Now that they were playing at the Rose Bowl again, do you think they want to lose?
Besides the bounceback concept from the earlier year's loss. The Trojans fell into a very profitable betting system that not too many pundits really think about. That is, they were coming into the bowl game off a divisional rival loss.
The Trojans had a chance to be the #2 seed if not for a loss to the UCLA Bruins, their heated rival. This knocked them down 5 spots to the #8 position. Even though this sucks for them, they are in prime position for a whooping of the Wolverines as kind of a payback.
Divisional rivalry games are always tough. For them to get a loss right before the bowl game, it usually drops them a few rankings needlessly. As a result, they play weaker opponents. The USC Trojans clearly should have been playing for the College championship.
Now you ask why is this system such a secret? Very simple! They played the UCLA Bruins on December 2, 2006. They played their bowl game on the 1st of January 2007. The month that went by causes people to forget.
But we didn't. And we cashed in.
