College football betting players are anxiously awaiting the kick-off of the season, but spring practice has just wrapped up, so it'll be a while yet. The rest of the NCAA will spend their time trying to find ways to wrest the BCS crown away from the SEC, who have won the last four national-championship games, and five of the last seven overall.

After spring practice, the defending champions from Alabama are still the top team in preseason rankings, while Florida comes in seventh. These two titans, led by Florida's Urban Meyer and Alabama's Nick Saban on the sidelines, have met in the last two SEC championship games, with the Gators beating Alabama 24-14, while the Crimson Tide rolled Florida 32-13 in last year's rematch. Both winners went on the win the BCS title game (ironically, over Big 12 teams Oklahoma and Texas, respectively). LSU comes in at No.14, while Arkansas is No.18, and Georgia rounds out the SEC's top 23 at No.20.

Florida will be going through a major change as Tim Tebow has left Gainesville, meaning that the Gators will be running a more traditional spread offense with John Brantley at the helm. The Crimson Tide, on the other hand, will have to reconstruct a defense that was arguably the best in the nation without linebacker Rolando McClain. But with two of the best coaches in the country, you can expect to see these two near the top of your online sports betting odds in the SEC.
