College football, Heavens to Betsy, gets started in earnest this weekend. And we all know what that means -- the chase for the BCS title, the campaigning for the Heisman Trophy and obsessing over point spreads.

Actually, we're not going to make too big a deal about college football and wagering, but this little item is too good to pass up.

The University of Hawaii -- an offensive powerhouse, especially since run-and-shoot maniac June Jones took over -- is a 59 1/2-point favorite to beat Northern Colorado at Aloha Stadium. I checked -- it is the University of Northern Colorado and not high school. The Warriors (who used to be the Rainbows and then the Rainbow Warriors) have a triggerman named Colt Brennan (left), who is expected to put up the kind of numbers that will make him a Heisman candidate. Now, think about that point spread. That kind of line means Hawaii has to score a touchdown (and a few two-point conversions) every seven minutes, assuming Northern Colorado doesn't score at all.

Locally, there are couple of big lines as well. Maryland is a 30.5- to 31-point favorite to beat Villanova and Navy is about a three-touchdown favorite (20.5 to 21 points) over Temple.
