The odds to win the 2006 BCS Championship are out and it should come as no suprise that two-time defending national champion USC has opened as the overwhelming favorite at 7-5 odds. The Trojans are seeking to become the first school in College Football history to win three consecutive national titles. With last year's Heisman Trophy winner QB Matt Leinart returning along with sophomore sensation RB Reggie Bush, history could very well be in the making.

There is substantial room between Southern Cal and the school with the next best odds. In a mild suprise, Ohio State is listed at 7-1, giving the Buckeyes the second best odds to win it all. The only other schools whose odds are in the same neighborhood are perennial powers Oklahoma (10-1), Virginia Tech (12-1), LSU (13-1), and Texas (13-1).
