Some very interesting takes on a couple of Big East schools:
West Virginia Money line to win the national title:
+1800
What are the real chances to play for the national title? It depends. If there are several unbeaten teams, West Virginia might be the odd team out because of the schedule with Maryland the best non-conference foe. 12-0 is possible, but the road trip to Louisville could provide a knockout punch to the Arizona dreams.
Louisville Money line to win the national title:
+2700
What are the real chances to play for the national title? Solid. The Cardinals are loaded on offense again and shouldn't be too bad on D, but what really helps is the schedule. A win over Miami would give them national title credibility, and a win at Kansas State the following week would solidify the respect. The West Virginia game is at home.

Talent and returning players have a lot to do with it, but it's mostly about the schedules, the road trips, the timing of the big games, and how much a team might have to climb in the rankings. This isn't a ranking of the best teams going into the year, it's a ranking of who has the best shot to play for the title.
