01/30/2012 - Toronto, Ontario (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bob Nicholson resigned as president and CEO of the Toronto Argonauts on Monday, and Chris Rudge has been named his successor.

Argonauts owner David Bradley announced the change in leadership, stating Nicholson resigned to pursue other opportunities.

"Bob was one of the first people I turned to when I bought the Argonauts franchise. His experience and leadership have contributed significantly to building a foundation from which the franchise can continue to move forward," Bradley said.

Rudge was CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee from 2003 to 2010 before named chairman and CEO of the upcoming 100th Grey Cup Festival.

"I am excited to continue to build the Argonauts brand, and cementing its place in the hearts and minds of Torontonians," Rudge said. "The great response to the 100th Grey Cup demonstrates that the fanbase is here; we need to continue to find ways to reconnect it to the Double Blue. I am looking forward to this challenge."

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
