SBG Global Opening Line:
Cincinnati -2, Total 41

The Cincinnati Bearcats will get a chance on Thursday night to prove they belong in a BCS bowl as they face Virginia Tech. It will be the first time that the Bearcats have ever been in a BCS bowl game. The Bearcats won the Big East title this season and finished with a very impressive 11-2 record, defeating three ranked teams along the way. "All due respect to the PapaJohns.com Bowl, I think we've got a big upgrade," said head coach Brian Kelly. SBG Global reports that early College Football betting has the public taking Cincinnati at Home.

The Bearcats and Hokies last played in 2006 when the Hokies won 29-13. Many of the Cincinnati players still remember that loss. "We all remember that stuff," senior defensive end Connor Barwin said. "I'm excited to play Virginia Tech again. Playing down there was awesome. Their coach is one of the best in the country."

The Hokies will be trying to break a four-game losing streak in BCS bowl games. The Hokies lost to Kansas last year, Auburn in 2005, Florida State in 2000 and Nebraska in 1996. "Last year, it left a bad taste in our mouth," senior cornerback Victor "Macho" Harris said. "This year, we're going to try to get that taste out of our mouth." The ACC has lost their last eight BCS bowl games while the Big East has won its last three BCS bowl games. "When you're representing a conference, there's a pride factor and I'm sure both of us share that," Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer said. "You're kind of judged on how you do against the other College Football betting conferences and the ACC hasn't done as well as we should have."
