2011 Capital One Bowl: Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Michigan State Spartans

The 2011 Capital One Bowl features two of the biggest names in college football. It’s the Alabama Crimson Tide against the Michigan State Spartans, and while Alabama is the college football betting favorite in the match, Michigan State is actually the higher ranked team. The 2011 Capital One Bowl is a big game although either the Alabama Crimson Tide or Michigan State Spartans will tell you that they had their sights on something much bigger when they season began.

Alabama, of course, was the defending champion, having cruised to an undefeated season and the national championship this year. They lost some big names to the NFL, but seemed poised to make another title run. However, a crew of tough conference rivals were their undoing, as they lost three times, first to South Carolina, then to LSU, and then to Auburn, putting up just a 4-3 record to close out the year.

Michigan State started off the season on a tear, and they seemed to be headed for the Big-10 title and a BCS bowl. They beat top 20 ranked Wisconsin and Michigan, but then lost to #18 Iowa, their sole loss on the season as they finished 11-1. Despite that great record, the Spartans still feels as if it’s being disregarded and overlooked, and according to the odds and lines with the college bowl game betting, they certainly have a case to make.
