<p>Let's go ahead and call Saturday's game at <strong>Florida State</strong> the biggest in the history of the <a href="http://www.gousfbulls.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=7700&amp;SPID=2981&amp;SPSID=37319" target="_blank"><strong>South Florida</strong></a> football program, which is in just its 13th season. You see, the Bulls have long hoped to join Florida's Big 3 (FSU, Florida and Miami) and turn the Sunshine State into a state with four power programs. Sure, USF has reached the top 10 in the polls the last two years, but the school has tanked late in the season both years as well.</p>
<p><strong>You don't want to miss getting a bet in on this <a href="http://sports.bodog.com/sports-betting/ncaa-college-football.jsp" target="_blank">college football</a> game.<br />
Don't have a Bodog account? <a href="https://www.bodog.com/join/" target="_blank">Join now</a>. It's free and it's easy.</strong></p>
<p>USF has played Miami once before (lost) and will again later this year, but this is the first time the program gets a shot at Florida State, which is -14 on Bodog's <a href="http://sports.bodog.com/sports-betting/ncaa-college-football.jsp" target="_blank">college football odds</a>.  A win for South Florida would be a potential boon for recruiting in the state.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for the Bulls, they enter Saturday minus their best offensive player, QB <strong>Matt Grothe</strong>. The career yardage leader in Big East history, Grothe tore his ACL in last week’s game against Charleston Southern, and his career is over. Redshirt freshman <strong>B.J. Daniels</strong>, who starred at Tallahassee Lincoln High down the road from FSU, gets the call; he has gone 12-for-15 for 179 yards and two TDs with 15 carries for 133 yards and three TDs in relief of Grothe this season.</p>
<p>South Florida also has a star on defense who could start anywhere in defense end <strong>George Selvie</strong>. The school's first two-time All-American has 26.5 career sacks as part of 62.5 career tackles for losses. USF is 13th in the NCAA in total defense and third against the pass this year, but that means almost nothing considering the Bulls' wins have come against Wofford, Western Kentucky and Charleston Southern – that's two I-AA schools and a Sun Belt team and is easily the worst non-conference schedule of any BCS conference team.</p>
<p>No. 18 FSU, meanwhile, comes in off one of the program's most impressive wins in years, a 54-28 beat down of then-No. 7 BYU. The Seminoles rushed for 313 yards in that one, their best effort on the ground since the 2005 Gator Bowl. In addition, QB <strong>Christian Ponder</strong> has been tremendous so far this season. On third downs alone, Ponder has completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 263 yards and four touchdowns.<br />
When doing your <a href="http://sports.bodog.com/" target="_blank">football betting</a> on Bodog for this game, consider that South Florida is 10-14 all-time against teams ranked in the Top 25 but has won its past three games against ACC schools.</p>

<p>Florida State led the Atlantic Coast Conference in scoring defense and field-goal percentage defense. Wisconsin ranked second in the Big Ten in scoring defense and allowed just 59 points per game. It would be a good bet that the winner of their first-round game will be the first team to reach 60 points, assuming either squad gets that many.</p>
<p>Wisconsin is a typical Big Ten program that thrives on low-scoring games and struggles in shootouts. The Badgers need to keep the scores down to have any shot at returning to the Sweet 16 this season.<br />
For the 3-point favored Seminoles it all depends on <strong>Toney Douglas</strong>. If Douglas performs as well as he did in ACC competition, Florida State is strong enough defensively to claw its way into the Sweet 16.

<p>After two years in limbo, the Seminoles had a taste of success in 2008 at 8-4 (5-4-1 ATS), good enough for a share of the ACC Atlantic title and a spot in the Champs Sports Bowl against the Wisconsin Badgers (7-5 SU, 5-6 ATS).</p>
<p>Wisconsin did some damage in the weakened Big Ten, posting the No. 25-ranked rushing offense in the FBS at 4.81 yards per attempt. But FSU was a shade better at 4.85 yards per carry, and the ‘Noles also bring a much better run defense to Orlando’s Citrus Bowl than the Badgers.</p>
<p>The pressing question with FSU is its offensive line. But given the overall depth and superiority of the ACC this year, Florida State could be a bargain as a <a href="http://sports.bodog.com/sports-betting/ncaa-college-football.jsp" target="_blank">6-point favorite</a>. Market reports had over 85 percent of bettors riding the Seminoles on Saturday.</p>

<p>When the No. 19-ranked Florida State Seminoles take on Boston College at home Saturday night, they will do so without a host of wide receivers suspended by head coach <strong>Bobby Bowden </strong>for their roles in an on-campus brawl it was announced on Friday.</p>
<p>Included in the suspension were <strong>Taiwan Easterling, Bert Reed</strong> and <strong>Corey Surrency</strong>, who have combined for 51 catches and 722 yards for the Seminoles this season. Also disciplined were redshirted freshman <strong>Cameron Wade</strong> and unused senior <strong>Richard Goodman</strong>.</p>
<p>Luckily for Florida State fans however, the team has enjoyed a particularly efficient running game so far this season as they now look to jump ahead of ACC-rival Wake Forest in the win column.</p>
<p>Just last Saturday the Seminoles ran for 266 yards, their forth 200+ game of the season.</p>

<p>The Florida State Seminoles (4-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) hope to use the national stage to make an impression on the polls; for now, they’re on a list of about four teams waiting to crack the Top 25.</p>
<p>The Seminoles are <a href="http://sports.bodog.com/sports-betting/ncaa-college-football.jsp" target="_blank">11-point road favorites</a> for Week 8 against the North Carolina State Wolfpack (2-4 SU, 3-2 ATS), one of the ACC’s basement-dwellers. The Wolfpack are 6-0-1 ATS versus Florida State over the past seven years and won two of the last three games straight up. Both teams were idle last week.</p>
<p>This is NC State’s second season under coach <strong>Tom O’Brien</strong>. His offensive line is a mess this year, which is killing his power running attack and making it very hard for QB <strong>Russell Wilson</strong> to move the chains.</p>
