It's no surprise that I love to gamble. Often, my gambling doesn't go that well. But I just love to see what people much smarter than me think about analyzing sports games. With that in mind, the offshore site 5Dimes recently posted its 2015 odds to win a title. Along with the even more ridiculously early Heisman Trophy odds.
It's over seven months until college football plays another game. We have no idea how many players, coaches, or administrators will be arrested between now and then. Sure, tons could change.
But isn't it also fun to think about the 2015 season? Of course it is.
