Football Betting: 2010 College Football Conference Odds (Part One)

ACC A couple of Sunshine State rivals are the co-favorites to win the Atlantic Coast Conference championship. The Florida State Seminoles and Miami Hurricanes lead the pack of 12 ACC schools at odds of +250. While the schools have been two of the most dominant programs in all of college football over the last three decades, neither club has done too much in recent years. Florida State won the first ACC title game back in 2005 but hasn't been able to reach another conference championship since then. The Hurricanes are seeking its first Coastal Division crown in 2010. The Virginia Tech Hokies (+400) and North Carolina Tar Heels (+500) are among the next group of contenders to win the ACC title. In the Atlantic Division, the Seminoles are a +125 choice to reach the ACC championship game. The Clemson Tigers (+250) won the Atlantic a year ago. To win the Coastal, Miami is a +125 favorite while the Tar Heels and Hokies are at +250. Defending ACC champ Georgia Tech is a +1000 choice to repeat in 2010. Big 12 It appears that the 2010 campaign will be the final one for the Big 12. Last week, Nebraska left to join the Big 10 while Colorado moved over to the Pac 10. The two schools will begin competition in football in their respective new leagues beginning in the 2011 season. In the next few days, several other Big 12 schools could follow the path of the Cornhuskers and Buffaloes by joining new conferences. For this season, the Texas Longhorns are a +200 favorite to repeat as Big 12 champions. Nebraska and Oklahoma are just behind the Longhorns at odds of +250. The Missouri Tigers (+650) are the fourth option in the conference race. In the Big 12 South, Texas is the favorite at +125 followed by Oklahoma at +175. In the last 11 years, either the Longhorns or Sooners have captured the Big 12 South title. Since 2004, the two schools have won all of the conference championship games. During this period, Oklahoma has won four titles while Texas has captured a pair of Big 12 crowns. In the North, Nebraska is a +100 choice while Missouri is at +300. In its final year in the Big 12, the Cornhuskers will be attempting to win a conference title for the first time since 1999.? ? ?
