    Oregon to win BCS +2500

    I'm an amateur at this, but what are some experienced thoughts on this future bet?

    I see Oregon beating Stanford this weekend on the ground and pounding USC next week(@ Oregon). Then Oregon is on to win the pac 12 against ASU..

    Poor Boise doesn't play any more top 25 teams and I don't think will make it.

    Arkansas won't beat LSU and will send them to the SEC west then BCS championship..

    Crucial thinking (besides oregon/stanford) has to take place at OK/OKST... if OKSTATE wins will they go ahead of 1 loss oregon?? If Oklahoma wins, will they? There will not be a big 10 championship, so how will that affect their chances?

    I may take $400 on Oregon +2500 (to win 10k) and then take LSU money line to win the last game @ ~5000..... winning about 5000.... so basically I'm taking Oregon to make it to the BCS @ +1250

    If there is a replay game it won't be LSU-Oregon... It would be BAMA-LSU

    Absolutely ZERO chance of Oregon playing for the national championship. Rose Bowl yes, National Championship NO. Zero chance. ZERO.

    Well, it might work if the right teams lost...like LSU...and then Ala lost to Auburn...

    gotta take out those SEC teams.

    Are you serious? An undefeated Oklahoma State would get into the NC Game over even an undefeated Stanford, let alone a one-loss Oregon team. Massive SOS difference here.

    Personally I think Oregon loses against Stanford this weekend. I agree that OkSt has played a much tougher schedule and if they win outright deserve to play in the NC game. Assuming LSU gets to the NC game wouldnt it be a great game to see Stanford and Alabama play?

    How will you put in Oregon before a 1 loss LSU, that beat them this year already?

    after further research last night I've backed out.. yea im new to this so I probably fooled myself by looking at if-then cases with big payouts... at least I've developed patience so I try not to trap myself in low odd scenarios..

    hell, im up 6-fold since CFB.. maybe I'll start posting my picks.. last week went 7-2 ncaaf, 5-1 nfl last week (best nfl week), but barely did better than breaking even .. I played winning bets like a fool so I learned i'll sticking to straight bets, mostly.. thanks for the insight, all
