Amid the celebration and excitement over the dawn of a new NCAA football season, nestled between masses of cupcake opponents and non-conference showdowns, lies one of the most anticipated match ups of the college football season.

This Saturday, at a neutral location, the No. 4-ranked LSU Tigers will play host to the No. 3-ranked Oregon Ducks.

You can bet on the big game with Bodog's college football odds.

Fresh off a drama-filled offseason in which LSU head coach Les Miles was blasted by a former offensive coordinator, and quarterback Jordan Jefferson was caught fighting in a bar, the Tigers may still present as one of the nation?s top programs.

According to Bodog, the Tigers sit with 14/1 odds on the college football futures list. Think they can follow through?

The Ducks, however, have not been without their own offseason melodrama, thanks to questions of recruiting violations centered on head coach Chip Kelly and his involvement with controversial scouting service owner Willie Lyles.

Regardless of the summer commotion, both programs are expected to produce legitimate national contenders, the Tigers in the competitive SEC and the Ducks in the Pac-12.

In addition to 5/2 odds of winning their newly-expanded conference, the Ducks also have 14/1 odds of winning the BCS national championship.

With so much going on off the field, will these programs be ready to kick off their season the right way?
