In just a matter of months, college football betting enthusiasts waiting for their favorite teams to take the gridiron won’t have to wait any longer. The 2011 – 12 football seasons, marks the beginning of the new NCAA. New in the sense, that several sports betting teams have moved to different conferences this year, in order to form super conferences. Today we will be previewing what remains of one of the conferences most affected by realignment, the Big 12.

Entering the 2011 season, the Big 12 conference, actually shrunk to 10 teams, as Colorado defected to the Pac 10 and Nebraska transferred to the Big 10. The new Big 12 conference will no longer have two divisions, as they will now play a round robin tournament within inter-conference play to determine the conference champion to qualify for the BCS Bowl series.

The remaining members of the Big 12 are Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.  On paper, the teams that most breeders cup betting fans will bet upon in the modified Big 12 are Texas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

Texas is a couple of years removed from the Colt McCoy Jordan Shipley era and has been a team in transition ever since. Despite losing Colt McCoy to the NFL last season, the Longhorns big dilemma is on the defensive side of the football rather than offensive side. In 2010 the Longhorns went five and seven, with the defense failing to stop the oppositions pass game. This year with a gluten of new recruits, the Texas defense could be one of the most feared.

On the other hand, the Oklahoma Sooners should be a team on everyone’s radar for BCS National Title winner. Led by Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma has one of the scariest offenses of all time. The defense is also incredible, which in turn has allowed for Oklahoma to form a mini dynasty.
