The college basketball season has just started and there already has been a rash of upset. Veteran college basketball observers predict that the basketball bet college NCAA Division I games are going to be difficult to predict.
The college basketball season for the 2007-08 campaign has just started and, already, there have been a rash of upsets and close games that did not figure. The basketball bet College Division I NCAA contests figure to be tough to predict, if the first few weeks are any indication of the trend for the season.
This time of the season between Thanksgiving and Christmas is usually the time when the better teams pad their records by scheduling games against weaker opponents. In March when the Tournament rolls around, a good win-loss differential is important. Lately, however, the NCAA Tournament Committee has factored in strength of schedule in rating the college teams for NCAA Tournament consideration. This has made some Division I powerhouses rethink their scheduling strategy.
For example, Gonzaga out of the Pacific Northwest has played such Eastern powerhouses as U Conn and St. Joe’s. Gonzaga traveled east to play these teams, and their having defeated these two squads on the road will play in Gonzaga’s favor when the NCAA Tournament Committee sits down in the first week in March in order to make their selections. While this may make the Committee’s job easier, the betting investor may have a tough task this year with the basketball bet college style.
This challenge, by no means, is an indication that I am willing to throw in the white flag. It just makes my research more meaningful. My selections for today are Notre Dame (+6) over Kansas State; New Mexico (Pk) over New Mexico State and USC (+8) over Memphis at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The 2007-08 campaign looks to be a test for the basketball bet college game.
