MARGARITA ISLAND, Venezuela--(BW SportsWire)--Nov. 26, 2000

Sportsbook.com is the first to offer a line on the 2001 Orange Bowl College Football Championship Game where Florida State is a seven and a half point favorite over Oklahoma.

Sportsbook.com was the first to open up wagering on the 2001 Orange Bowl back in August. Oklahoma opened up at a 150 to 1 long shot to win the national championship and today they are just 2 to 1. Meanwhile, the wagering opened up with national champions Florida State the favorite at 2 to 1; and they still remain the favorite, now at 1 to 2.

The Heisman Trophy will be awarded on December 11th and the race has come down to the two signal callers of the Orange Bowl teams. Florida State's 28 year old QB Chris Weinke is in a neck-and- neck battle with Oklahoma's Josh Heupel. At sportsbook.com, national champion Weinke is the underdog at 2-1, while most the money is being placed on Heupel, who is now 1 to 4.
