The Wiz of Odds

USC

USC produced a double-sided poster. Side one, above, features eight players and the schedule. Side two introduces the athletic department's new branding program, "WE PLAY."

The posters were developed by Craig Kelley. The photographer was Pierson Claire. Thanks to Gary.

Nevada

A different concept for poster schedules by Nevada, which is 4-1 entering Saturday's home game against Wyoming.

Thanks to Chad.

Alabama

Love them or hate them, you have to respect Alabama. The Crimson Tide are in the thick of the title hunt every year under Nick Saban, and nothing has changed in 2012. All eyes will be on the Nov. 3 game between Alabama and Louisiana State in Baton Rouge.

Thanks to Patrick.

Louisiana State

Are you ready for Game of the Century II? Of course, last year's Game of the Century between Louisiana State and Alabama took place on Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa. The Tigers won, 9-6 in overtime, setting up a rematch in the Bowl Championship Series title game, which was won by the Crimson Tide, 21-0. The drumbeat has already started for a rerun. LSU and Alabama play on Nov. 3 in Baton Rouge, but that's not good enough. The storyline: It was such a classic that the teams will be forced to meet again in the BCS title game! Can college football handle it?

Thanks to Jason.

Oklahoma

This was going to be the year. Oklahoma would win the Bowl Championship Series title and Landry Jones would be the runaway winner of the Heisman Trophy. That line of thinking lasted until Sept. 22, when Kansas State rolled into Norman and beat the Sooners, 24-19. Now Oklahoma is gearing up for Saturday's trip to Texas Tech. The Sooners haven't beaten the Red Raiders in Lubbock since 2003.

Thanks to Land Thieves.

Air Force

Huge week for Air Force, which plays host Saturday to Navy in the first game of the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy series.

Thanks to Jeremy and Mark.
