We’ll learn next month who will go into the 2008 college football season with the No. 1 ranking in the polls. USC was a near-unanimous choice last year, and the Trojans could find themselves right back up top – they’re the 3-1 favorites to win the BCS championship.

The Georgia Bulldogs are getting lots of love from commentators at 6-1, tied with Florida, Ohio State, and Oklahoma in what promises to be a wild season. But the Bulldogs are having some trouble on the disciplinary front. Seven players have been arrested thus far, for everything from aggravated battery to rubbing the belly of a pregnant woman.

Most of the Bulldogs players involved are linemen, including potential starters Jeremy Lomax on defense and Clint Boling on offense. Add the foot injury that will keep starting fullback Brannan Southerland on the shelf for five games, and Georgia’s betting value takes a bath in the insanely rough SEC waters.
