Oklahoma State Cowboys
A lot of NCAA football betting cappers are talking about Oklahoma State as getting a potential Massive 12 Champion this year and maybe – just perhaps – a National Champion. Sounds excellent, positive, but I’d like to smoke some of that too. The truth of the matter is that the Cowboys are in a position to be what the Texas Tech Red Raiders had been final year, but potentially worse.
The Cowboys have an chance with Georgia coming to town in Week 1, and if they can win that game, it will vault them into the Massive 12 debate. But the Cowboys have a soft defense, just lost their beginning middle linebacker for the season, and Georgia is 1 of the very best road teams in the country. An SEC school versus a Huge 12 school? I’ll take the SEC.
Look for the Cowboys’ bubble to burst really early on. Then they’ll add losses to Texas and Oklahoma later in the year.
Mississippi Rebels
For the very first time in a extended time, some folks are mentioning a possible BCS berth at The Grove. Myself and a lot of other on the web betting cappers would like to wish Ole Miss very good luck in their future endeavors. The Rebels are a great team and a contender, but the difference in between them, Alabama and LSU is that they do not have as significantly depth.
Realistically, Ole Miss can compete with those two juggernauts and is probably on par or far better than each because of their quarterback play. But individuals generating their sports picks ought to be weary that they’ll have to get all the breaks and they’ll have to stay healthy to truly be a national championship contender.
California Golden Bears
USC is supposedly rebuilding. Proper. And Cal is supposedly going to finally win the Pac ten. Right. Any person who watches college football knows that USC does not rebuild, they reload. They are the heavy favorites to win the Pac 10 once once more because they have far more talent and depth than anyone in the conference.
For Cal, they have a great defense and arguably the ideal operating back in the nation, but who’s their quarterback? If you are counting on Kevin Riley as your starter then you’re counting on a Holiday Bowl appearance – not a BCS game.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
The Fighting Irish are the darlings in the media, mostly because of how they stomped Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl and how straightforward their schedule looks this year. But even though every sports betting blog in the world thinks they’ll be globe beaters does not mean that will actually be the case. The Fighting Irish are greater than last year but they nonetheless have a couple of problems. Their operating game is suspect and always has been under Charlie Weis and their defense lacks top-line playmakers. 8-four is far a lot more likely than 11-1.
Ohio State Buckeyes
The Buckeyes aren’t going to be the biggest bust of the year, but they aren’t going to be BCS-bound either. Penn State is the very best team in the Huge Ten and the conference is stronger all the way about. Michigan State might surprise, Iowa is decent and Illinois has prospective. The Buckeyes are reloading/rebuilding, and even though Terrell Pryor is a stud, he alone is not enough for this team. Even although most betting system picks have them winning the conference, they’ll be a brick short of a load this year.
