For the last couple of years, the NCAA football betting scene has had two powerhouse conference duking it out for the rights to be the best, and a bunch of others that can't even come close.
According to Legends Sportsbooks odds makers, it's going to be just one power conference ruling them all this year.
In the last two years, the Big 12 has been pushing the SEC for the No. 1 spot but we all know that the SEC is king. After all, look at the last two teams who won the BCS Championship - what conference did they come from (Florida and Alabama)?
The Big 12 will be taking a year off this year as everyone is rebuilding.
The Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns both passed their record-setting quarterbacks to the NFL. As a matter of fact, the Sooners had four first round picks and three of the top four picks were off their team. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State, who was supposedly a BCS contender last year, also lost a couple of key players in Dez Bryant and Russell Okung and will be rebuilding. Same goes for Texas Tech, who fired head coach Mike Leach. How about the Nebraska Cornhuskers? Well they lost defensive stud Ndamukong Suh to the NFL and their defense will take a step back.
The Big 12 is still a power conference and their teams will be favored in lots of non-conference games on the NCAA point spreads but they won't be competing for a BCS Championship in 2010. None of their teams are ready to do so. At least they'll be able to admire their players from an NFL football betting perspective on Sundays this coming year.
