If you’re going to bet on NCAA football this weekend, there are five matchups which feature a pair of ranked teams, and these clashes will have a major impact on the BCS standings. Here are your five to watch out for in this, the first weekend of November. Baylor Oklahoma State Betting – Saturday, 12:30 PM ET The No.17 Cowboys are favored by 7.5 points at home against the No.21 Bears in this Big 12 showdown, but Baylor will have history against them as they’re 0-7 SU in seven trips to Stillwater, and 1-6 ATS. The Cowboys can pull into a tie for first in the Big 12 South with Baylor with a win, which is something a lot of people can’t say they would have called at the beginning of the year. TCU Utah Betting – Saturday, 3:30 PM ET World Series betting players think that San Francisco-Texas is an underrated matchup, this one could trump it despite the fact that both are top-five teams. The No.3 Horned Frogs are favored by six points against the No.5 Utes, but they’re 0-3 at Utah and their last loss in the regular seaon came in this game two years ago. The loser is essentially booted out of the national-championship picture. Arkansas South Carolina Betting – Saturday, 7:00 PM ET The No.19 Gamecocks are favored by a field goal at home against the No.18 Razorbacks, who have a decent record in Columbia over their last seven games, going 3-4 SU and 4-3 ATS. Both teams have won two in a row after a loss, and South Carolina is trying to hold onto the lead in the SEC East. Arkansas is out of the hunt in an extremely tough SEC West, but they’re still playing to get into a good bowl. Alabama LSU Betting – Saturday, 8:00 PM ET If you were going to pay a big price per head to watch a game, this would be it. The No.6 Crimson Tide are favored by 6.5 points on the road against the No.10 Tigers. The Crimson Tide have won two of their last five trips to Baton Rouge, but they still control their national-title fate, so they’ve got plenty of motivation. Both teams are coming off a bye, so there is no excuse for being prepared. Arizona Stanford Betting – Saturday, 8:00 PM ET There is no NCAA football line for this game yet, but the No.13 Cardinal should be favored at home against the No.15 Wildcats, a team that no one is talking about. A loss takes a team out of the Pac-10 race as both are chasing Oregon, and this is going to be a good game that you shouldn’t overlook when browsing your sports betting sites.
