Engulfed in controversy, is Ohio State going to be a solid college football betting option in the upcoming season?

The Buckeyes went 12-1 last year, and won both the Big Ten championship and the Sugar Bowl. Or at least that's how you remember the Buckeyes' campaign. Last week Ohio State announced it was vacating those wins, presumably in an effort to appease the NCAA and avoid bigger punishment for its autographs-for-tattoos violations.

The NCAA, though, will still be reviewing the case, and they could decide to ban the Buckeyes from postseason play in the season(s) ahead. That would kill their chances of paying off a 25/1 on the current Bodog odds to win the 2012 BCS Championship.

Even if the Buckeyes are allowed to play for the title in the upcoming season, though, they'll still be doing it without head coach Jim Tressel and quarterback Terrelle Pryor, both of whom have left the program.

Ohio State isn't the only college football program in the news for the wrong reasons these days – Oregon is getting bad press for associating itself with a talent scout under investigation by the NCAA, while West Virginia imposed sanctions on itself for various rules violations.

West Virginia, however, will just be losing one scholarship in the upcoming season and will still be eligible for postseason play – so their 25/1 BCS Championship odds remain intact. Oregon sits at 12/1 odds on the BCS Championship board, and Ducks running back LaMichael James is high on the Heisman Trophy props board at 15/2.
