Guess the same philosophy applies to betting in Vegas that applies to the lottery. Heard a quote from someone commenting on odds: "The lottery is a special tax for people who don't understand mathematics."

ESPN incorrectly states the AFCA Coaches’ Trophy is retired
When Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer hoisted the College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy, it was supposed to be the end of an era…the BCS era.
No longer would the Waterford crystal of the AFCA Coaches’ Trophy serve as the de facto national championship trophy.
Fun fact: National champions will now be awarded two championship trophies under the guidelines of the current system.
The American Football Coaches Association Executive Director, Grant Teaff, issued a statement Tuesday that clarified some false statements regarding the Coaches’ Trophy.
“On behalf the American Football Coaches Association, we would like to take this opportunity to address inaccuracies communicated by ESPN on last night’s National Championship broadcast,” Teaff said in the statement. “The first of which is Chris Fowler‘s statement that the Crystal Ball is retired. This is incorrect, as the AFCA Coaches’ Trophy presented by Amway (i.e. the ‘Crystal Ball’) is alive and well, and will soon be awarded to the No. 1 team of the Amway Coaches Poll, the Ohio State University Buckeyes. More information about that award ceremony will be released soon.
“Secondly, it was also indicated the Crystal Ball was awarded over the last 16 years. In actuality, the AFCA Coaches’ Trophy has been the Symbol of Supremacy in College Football for 29 years, since 1986, and has been awarded annually to the winner of the Coaches Poll, now the Amway Coaches Poll, ever since.”
Thus, the Buckeyes will be awarded with two trophies to represent a single championship.
Meyer will just add them to his Hall-of-Fame resume.

That's really nice to know. Obviously, delighted they won, but I don't really love the design of the new trophy. Always thought the crystal ball was gorgeous and was sorry (I thought) that it was no more.
No such thing as too much bling.

Yeah, I could happily live without the corporate stamp on the trophies. Of course, I hated it when all the iconic bowl games started to be trademarked with the Bubba's Big Gulp Slush Bowl, etc.
(But, sell your trinkets for tats and you die. Didn't I just post the definition of hypocrisy somewhere recently?)

I actually heard that Vegas was hoping Oregon would win. Yes, they made out great on the game, but they got crushed on futures. Remember, OSU was 40-1 and maybe even 50-1 odds to win early in the season when Braxton went down and then when we lost against VT.

I do not choose to discuss it
I was referring to all the "big money" betters who went in on Ohio State both games.
I don't know the exact numbers, but the money was about 50/50 in both games despite the action being 70 to 80% (or so) on Alabama and Oregon.
Big bets were placed on Ohio State getting points (which seems beyond ridiculous in restrospect) and those bets obviously paid off.

So much negativity. Can't you all just put down the haterade for a few days and bask in the glow of Ohio State having won the inaugural 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship presented by AT&T?
