2012 BCS Championship Gambling Predictions
Before we shift our focus to NFL football with the lockout ending, let’s look at the top 2011-12 BCS national title contenders in college football.
Before we shift our focus to NFL football with the lockout ending, let’s look at the top 2011-12 BCS national title contenders in college football.
The Sun Belt may be the most appropriately named conference in college football. When I hear the words “Sun Belt,” I think of a relaxing, warm sun and happy, carefree times.
Is the Western Athletic Conference officially the redheaded stepchild of the FBS now that Boise State has departed for the Mountain West?
We’re down to the nitty-gritty conferences in our 2011 college football previews. The Mid-American (MAC) certainly qualifies as one of them.
Look out for Conference USA. Sure, this conference isn’t elite yet, but it’s certainly on the rise. Last year, both UCF and Tulsa cracked the AP Top-25 season-ending poll, marking the first time in 15 years that Conference USA boasted two nationally ranked teams.
Over the last half decade of college football, it’s been then other conferences…and then the SEC. Home to the last five BCS title game winners, the SEC was on another level.
The Pac-12 Conference has no shortage of interesting football storylines for 2011.
The Mountain West is becoming more and more relevant.
So the Big 10, complete with 12 teams, is the same Big 10 as last year. Capiche?
Before we start the Big 12 preview, let’s put the confusion to rest. After realignment, the Big 12 actually has 10 teams now.
Our 2011 NCAA football conference previews continue with the Big East, as my brain hurts too much to address the Big Ten/Big 12/Big12/Big Ten conundrum.
Whatever happens with the NFL lockout, football bettors can at least take solace in the fact that college football isn’t going anywhere.
Something’s missing this summer. For the first time in eight years, the USC Trojans are not in their familiar preseason position on the top rung of the college football futures market. They won’t be showing up anytime soon, either.
Are you dizzy from the confusion of all the conference realignment talk of recent weeks? Never fear, Al’s here to help clear things up.
