What a difference a week makes. The USC Trojans were seen as invincible just one week ago and now they practically fall out of the 2008 College Football top 10 rankings for Week 6 after getting beaten badly by the Oregon State Beavers.

I'm Carrie Stroup here with your 2008 College Football rankings used towards Week 6 of play. The Gambling911.com list is the only one that takes into account the odds to win the 2009 BCS Championship in addition to other factors. Oh, and don't forget, for a limited time only Sportsbook.com is giving back 5 percent on all losses and a 10 percent cash signup bonus. Tell them Carrie Stroup sent you.

1. Oklahoma - Last week they were ranked third. Suddenly, the Sooners are paying $225 for every $100 bet if they were to win the 2009 BCS. The Sooners find themselves in this position for the first time since 2003.

2. Alabama - At +500 odds, $500 is paid out for every $100 bet if they win the 2009 BCS Championship. With a win this coming weekend, Alabama could find themselves at number one. The Sagarin Ratings have Alabama in that position coming into Week 6.

3. USC - Okay so Southern California is really bad now? Hardly. This is still the team to beat in our opinion. The loss last week means you have much better payout odds compared to last week when you were getting USC at +150 to win the 2009 BCS. Now you get them at +400 paying $400 for every $100 bet at Sportsbook.com

4. LSU - Pays $800 for every $100 bet to win the Championship. They were 5th ranked last week.

5. Penn State - Pay $1200 for every $100 bet if they win the BCS Championship. The last time the Nittany Lions started 5-0 was in 2005. That also marked the year Penn State won a share of the Big Ten title. The Lions visit 2-2 Purdue before a trifecta of Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio State closes out October.

6. Boise State - You gotta love this one - Boise State would pay $20,000 for every $100 bet if they were to win the 2009 BCS Championship at Sportsbook.com. Sagarin, which is used for determining lines on games, has Boise State way up there - 6th ranked in fact.

7. Brigham Young - Pays field odds of $3000.

8. Texas - Pays $1500 for every $100 bet.

9. Texas Tech - Pay $2000 for every $100 bet if they win the championship.

10. Georgia - Still hanging around. The Bulldogs would pay out $1500 for every $100 bet.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
