2012 Kansas St. Wildcats College Gambling Odds | Predictions

2012-13 Football Previews (Big 12) – Kansas St.

Until last season, it hadn’t been since early in the last decade that the K-State football program had its time in the sun. Under longtime coach Bill Snyder (he enters his 21st year in Manhattan this season) the Wildcats reached the Fiesta Bowl in 2003, and finished the year ranked #8 in the country. In 2011, there was a vintage feel at Kansas State: the Wildcats finished ranked #11 and had a Cotton Bowl appearance versus Arkansas.

2012 TCU Horned Frogs College Gambling Odds | Predictions

2012-13 Football Previews (Big 12) – TCU

During the 12-year (and counting) tenure of head coach Gary Patterson of the football team at Texas Christian University, he’s always made sure his squad brings it’s A-game when the nation’s elite competitors were in town. That sort of caged-animal, “never say die” attitude is what precipitates TCU’s move from the Mountain West to the Big 12 this season. This is a tough program that relishes the chance to play the Oklahomas and Texases of the world.

2012 Oklahoma State College Gambling Odds | Predictions

2012-13 Football Previews (Big 12) – OSU Cowboys

For the past few seasons, the Sooners haven’t been the only team from the state of Oklahoma to be in the national picture. Under head coach Mike Gundy and offensive co-ordinator Dana Holgorsen (who left in 2011) the Cowboys of Oklahoma State have ridden tremendous offensive firepower to the BCS landscape.

2012 West Virginia Mountaineers College Gambling Odds | Predictions

2012-13 Football Previews (Big 12) – West Virginia

In the move from the Big East to the Big 12 Conference, West Virginia gets a serious bump up in the week-to-week compete level. The shift to the Big 12 is fitting, as the Mountaineers are entering the second season under head coach Dana Holgorsen, who schemed the Oklahoma State offense to new heights over the past several years.

2012 Texas Longhorns College Gambling Odds | Predictions

2012-13 Football Previews (Big 12) – Texas Longhorns

Texas is in a somewhat similar situation, on a big-picture scale, as the Florida Gators: a super prestigious football program that was among the nation’s elite just a few seasons ago, but has recently fallen on hard times. The fact that an 8-5 2011 record portrays “hard times” at UT should speak volumes for the high pedigree of this program under head coach Mack Brown. Still, the Longhorns need to right the ship.

2012 Oklahoma Sooners College Gambling Odds | Predictions

2012-13 Football Previews (Big 12) – OU Sooners

Even with a program like Oklahoma, as steady as it comes, this is a team that’s ready to go to the big stage right now. The Sooners were ranked #1 in the AP poll last season, but injuries to their top RB and WR spurred the team to hit turbulence, and finish at 10-3.

2012 Boston College NCAA Gambling Odds | Predictions

2012-13 Football Previews (ACC) – Boston College Eagles

In 2012, Boston College has the returning starters to be a much improved team from a year ago – which is a good thing indeed, because not much went right for the Eagles in 2011. The Eagles had a pop-gun offense and were outgained by virtually every conference foe, on their way to limping home with a 4-8 record.

2012 Maryland Terrapins College Gambling Odds | Predictions

2012-13 Football Previews (ACC) – Maryland Terrapins

Randy Edsall, the man that built the Connecticut football program from literally nothing (as far as the FBS is concerned) to a 2010 BCS bowl participant (the Fiesta Bowl vs. Oklahoma) took over Maryland a year ago with an aggressive approach. Things were going to be done Edsall’s way, and if you didn’t like it, you could leave. This is precisely what QB Danny O’Brien did, as he transferred to Wisconsin to do graduate work and play for the Badgers.

Oklahoma (6-0) is undefeated and has 3 straight blowout wins and they are HUGE favorites over Texas Tech (4-2), who has lost 2 straight games. However, Tech has the nation’s 6th ranked passing offense and the nation’s 9th highest scoring team so they may not be a push over.

It took seven games, but No. 20 Georgia Tech finally got exposed last week. Virginia had an answer for the triple option and handed the Jackets their first loss of 2011. Georgia Tech is determined to show it’s still a contender, not a pretender, but the sledding doesn’t get any easier this week.
