Chris 'The Bear' Fallica's 2024 College Football Week 13 'Bear Bytes'

College football Week 13 is here, and I couldn't be more pumped. 

This means the next few days will be exciting for fans who love football and for bettors looking for fun ways to wager a few bucks.

I've already given you my best bets for Week 13 games, but now it's time to have a little fun with my "Bear Bytes."

No. 5 Indiana @ No. 2 Ohio State (noon, FOX and FOX Sports app )

In the 21 regular-season, top-five games in the College Football Playoff era, only two have seen a spread greater than 10 points. The first was No. 2 Ohio State (-17.5) vs. No. 5 Notre Dame in 2022. That ended in a 21-10 Buckeyes win. The other was No. 1 Alabama (-14) vs. No. 4 LSU in 2018, which ended up as a 29-0 Alabama win. Since 1978, there have been 16 different 10-0 or better teams that have been underdogs in the regular season. Until today, Michigan +9 at Ohio State in 2022 was the largest of those ’dogs.
