Now that South Florida has climbed to No. 2 behind Ohio State in the initial Bowl Championship Series standings, the Bulls are no longer a quiet secret for bettors.

Just look at Thursday night's game at Rutgers that has South Florida listed as 2 1/2 -point favorites.

According to Sportsbook.com's betting trend, the Bulls (6-0) were getting 93% of the bets against the spread as of Tuesday. Big support for a team not too many people knew about two months ago.

South Florida, 6-1 against the spread in its last seven games dating to last season, is led by quarterback Matt Grothe, who has rushed for at least 100 yards in the last two games.

But the Bulls will have their hands full against the Scarlet Knights, who are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games against teams with winning records.

Led by running back Ray Rice and an athletic defense, Rutgers (4-2) will be an underdog for the first time this season.

Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson, who led his team to an upset victory over Louisiana State last week, has moved into the favorite role in Bodog.com's latest odds for the Heisman Trophy.

Woodson is listed at 3-1, followed by Arkansas running back Darren McFadden at 5-1. Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan, Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan and Michigan running back Mike Hart are 6-1. USC quarterback John David Booty is no longer on the board.

USC opened as a 20-point favorite for its game at Notre Dame on Saturday but the line dropped to 18 after Coach Charlie Weis named Evan Sharpley as starting quarterback Tuesday.
