2010 Big 12 Conference: Odds to Win favor Oklahoma and Texas

The Nebraska Cornhuskers and Oklahoma Sooners, long time rivals from the old Big Eight Conference, could be meeting again for all the marbles in 2010 Big 12 Conference predictions before the league downsizes to 10 teams next year as Nebraska bolts for the Big Ten and Colorado limps to the Pac 10. While Texas is the most popular choice in college football odds at online sportsbooks to win the Big 12 at 2-1, Oklahoma is the betting favorite at 3-2 with Nebraska also at 2-1. From there Missouri is a 12-1 college football betting favorite with Kansas State at 20-1 and Texas A&M at 16-1. Texas and Oklahoma will again likely decide the Big 12 South Division championship with their Red River Rivalry showdown on October 2nd.

Meanwhile Nebraska will host their closest rival in the North Division on October 30th when Mizzou comes calling. October 16th is another key date in college football odds when Texas travels to Nebraska in a rematch of last year’s controversial Big 12 Championship Game in which Husker fans, and the coaching staff, felt robbed as Texas was given an extra second put back on the clock in order to kick a game winning field goal. Nebraska is leaving the Big 12 due to what they perceived to be Texas’ greed and overbearing influence on the league.

The dynamics of Nebraska’s final season will be significant as their long time North Division rivals will give them one good hard last best shot. Heading into 2010 Big 12 conference predictions, Texas will be retooling without quarterback Colt McCoy while Oklahoma looks experience and ready to take command. Texas A&M is explosive but is still questionable on defense. Mizzou is experienced and often plays better when operating under the radar screen. They have bowled 5 straight years and won back to back North titles in 2007 and 2008.
