Georgia State to study potential move to FBS

NCAA Football Betting Lines

02/21/2012 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Georgia State is moving from independent status to CAA Football membership this season.

The university may have an even bigger move in the future.

Georgia State announced Tuesday it has commissioned Collegiate Consulting to conduct a study regarding the feasibility of a move to the Football Bowl Subdivision from the Championship Subdivision.

"We are performing our due diligence to fully understand potential opportunities in the rapidly changing landscape of college athletics and particularly college football," Georgia State director of athletics Cheryl L. Levick said. "We will evaluate the information in the feasibility study to determine the best course of action for Georgia State.

"No decisions have been made, and Georgia State has not received an invitation from any conference,"

Georgia State's program has played only two seasons. As a startup program under coach Bill Curry, the Panthers went 6-5 in 2010 and 3-8 this past season.

Collegiate Consulting, located in Atlanta, is a comprehensive solutions-based consulting company focused exclusively on the collegiate marketplace

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
