BCS Battle: Oklahoma vs Florida State

This year, with the Seminoles ranked No. 5, it's critical to play well for BCS bowl consideration - as well as exacting some revenge.

Oddsmakers still side with the top-ranked team, keeping them as 3-point road underdogs. [ You can even get them at +3.5 at Sportsbook as of late Friday ] This despite the fact Oklahoma is on a 2-5 ATS run in road games.
