Although there were a lot of tantalizing college football betting match-ups in Week 10 of the season, we only saw a handful of upsets among the highest-ranked teams. Teams like West Virginia, Washington State, Oklahoma, and Notre Dame received scares from opponents, but they all were able to hold on and kept their chances of getting to the College Football Playoff alive. This week is a little more tame, but some of the best teams in the nation could get real scares. Without further ado, here are the college football Week 11 opening odds.

Clemson Tigers -17.5
Boston College Eagles +17.5
College Gameday will be at this important tilt between the two top teams in the ACC Atlantic. Clemson is a heavy favorite after manhandling Florida State and Louisville over the last two weeks, and it looks like Trevor Lawrence is the real deal. There were scattered questions about whether Lawrence was ready to be the main guy, but he has answered them in the affirmative over the last few weeks.
As impressive as Clemson has been, the Tigers can’t afford a loss here. Boston College has just one loss in ACC play, so an Eagles upset would give them the inside track on winning the ACC Atlantic and playing in the ACC Championship Game. It will be hard for the Eagles to pull that off even though they will be at home. Their strength is running the ball with workhorse AJ Dillon, but Clemson has the best defensive line in the nation.
Oklahoma State Cowboys +17.5
Oklahoma Sooners -17.5
Historically, Oklahoma has dominated Bedlam. The Sooners are 87-18-7 all-time in their in-state rivalry with Oklahoma State, but the Cowboys have picked up some big wins over the last few years. They housed the Sooners 44-10 in Stillwater back in 2011, and they nipped them in overtime in Norman in 2014.
This year’s meeting will give Oklahoma State a chance to play spoiler. The Cowboys are 5-4 and only have bowl eligibility on the line here, but the Sooners have an outside chance at making it to the College Football Playoff. Oklahoma needs to win out to be one of the top four teams in the country though, and that means Kyler Murray and company need to be ready.
Auburn Tigers +14.5
Georgia Bulldogs -14.5
These two fierce rivals met twice last year with each side winning once. However, it was Georgia that won the more important game, knocking off Auburn to win the SEC Championship and earn a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Auburn won’t be in the SEC Championship Game this year, but the Tigers can ruin the Bulldogs’ season nonetheless. A win over Georgia here would likely knock the Bulldogs out of playoff contention due to a second loss. That’s easier said than done considering the state of Auburn’s offensive line and with the game being in Athens though.
