With another No. 1 biting the dust last week, BCS standings have the Missouri Tigers ranked supreme, West Virginia Mountaineers No. 2 and Ohio State Buckeyes No. 3, as we head into the final week of the NCAA football betting regular season before bowl action kicks off.

There's a BCS championship appearance on the line this weekend, bowl bids and conference crowns making for arguably the best week of college football betting action of the year.

It all comes down to this: A regular-season finale victory by Missouri and West Virginia Saturday evening would guarantee the two schools a trip to the BCS championship game Jan. 7 in New Orleans. But before the Missouri faithful make reservations to the bayou, the Tigers have to first get past No. 9 Oklahoma in the Big 12 title contest.

A Sooners' win would put Ohio State back into the BCS championship game against the Mountaineers if they can get past arch-rival Pittsburgh. Do you think Buckeye nation will be tuned in?

As 3-point underdogs, Missouri will have a much more challenging rout to the big game than West Virginia, who NCAA football odds list the four touchdown favorites.

Missouri has scored more than 40 points in each of its games this year, but key to victory for them is protecting the ball. The Tigers and Sooners met last year when Missouri turned the ball over four times en-route to a money-dropping 26-10 home loss as the 1-point puppies.

Key to victory for Oklahoma is for the already lightning fast defense, that's holding opponents to just 18.3 points per game, to take advantage of the speedy carpet at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas where this conference title game will be held.

Being the underdog in this one and playing at a neutral site may not be so bad for Missouri backers considering the underdog is 4-0 ATS (against the spread) in their last four meetings between the two, and the Tigers have covered the spread in their last five neutral site games.

This is just one of the many must see games for bettors on Saturday. There's four other conference title games on the line which includes the MAC title game between the Central Michigan Chippewas and Miami Ohio Redhawks and the SEC championship game between the No. 7 LSU Tigers and No. 14 Tennessee Volunteers.

Tennessee has covered the spread in four of its five last games. But LSU supporters aren't so happy because their club is a money-dropping 2-7 ATS in their last nine games overall.

The Tulsa Golden Hurricanes and Central Florida Golden Knights strap itup for the Conference USA crown and the ACC title will be up for grabs when the No. 6 Virginia Tech Hokies and No. 11 Boston College Eagles collide. The Hokies are 1-7 ATS in their last eight meetings against the Eagles.

There won't be a title on the line, but there's a lot of pride at stake when the Army Cadets take on the Navy Midshipmen in one of the best rivalries in all of football, which adds to this fantastic weekend of College football betting action.
