The rankings say Notre Dame is No. 1 going into the BCS championship against Alabama. Plenty of folks aren't buying it, starting with the oddsmakers who currently have the Crimson Tide as about a touchdown favorite for the Jan. 7 meeting in Miami between two of college football's proudest programs.

FILE - In this Nov. 24, 2012 file photo, Southern California head coach Lane Kiffin looks on as senior quarterback Matt Barkley is introduced to the crowd during a ceremony for the seniors before an NCAA college football game against Notre Dame, in Los Angeles. Southern California is coming off a historically disappointing season that has put Kiffin in precarious situation heading into his fourth season as Trojans coach. The Trojans will have a new quarterback and are still dealing with a roster limited by NCAA sanctions. They won’t enter the season No. 1 like last year. Expectations are far more modest, which both Kiffin and his boss, athletic director Pat Haden, say is a good thing. (AP Photo/Danny Moloshok, File)
