College Football Offseason News

Oklahoma Sooners Preakness betting enthusiasts also handicapping the NFL should consider switching to the NCAA this season, as the pro league doesn't look close to ending the lockout. With spring workouts already starting up, here is a look at a few teams that could have a sports betting chance at winning the National Title in 2011 - 12.

Oregon Ducks - After losing the National Title game by four points in January, the Oregon Ducks led by Head Coach Chip Kelly, have taken to the practice field promising to come back bigger and stronger than ever. Save for a few seniors, the Ducks return basically the same squad that came within four points of winning the school's first ever National title. For the most part, many of our colleagues feel that LaMichael James will once again be the center piece of Oregon's offense. However, in our humble opinions, it is quarterback Darron Thomas that will need to duplicate last year's numbers at the very least to even stand a chance at guiding the Ducks to another National Title.

Oklahoma Sooners - The Oklahoma Sooners like a fine wine enter the NCAA Football season as the team to beat. They weren't even a part of the National Title conversation last year, but when your offense leads the entire league with an average of 87 offensive plays a game, you need to be a part of any top ranking conversation. Led by the quarterback and wide receiver combination of Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles, the Sooners look poised to run rampant on the Big 12 this season. Aside from Jones and Broyles, the Sooners are one of the deepest teams in the entire NCAA on both offense and defense. Complimenting the tandem on defense are speedsters running back Roy Finch, and wide receiver Kenny Stills. Stills as a freshman was able to catch 67 passes as the third wide receiver, telling us all how deep the Sooners really are.
