The Greek Sports Book installed Florida as +175 with USC next behind at 5/1 and Texas following at 8/1.

The books like Florida State to keep improving as the Seminoles are now 18/1 to win it all.

Some surprises include the Miami Hurricanes and Notre Dame who are both listed as 20/1.

In the USA Today Poll, it was Florida, USC, Texas, Utah and Oklahoma.
