2018 Big 12 Betting Preview: Oklahoma Favored, but TCU and West Virginia Loom

While Oklahoma is a clear favorite to win the Big 12 in 2018, it's not a prohibitive one. At +125 to take the conference, the Sooners' odds aren't as strong as Washington's (-138) to win the Pac-12, Alabama's (-138) to win the SEC or Clemson's (-200) to win the ACC. This all makes sense given that it's a transitional year at quarterback for Oklahoma, and also because the competition is stiff: TCU's defense will be as tough as always, West Virginia will be difficult to keep out of the end zone, Oklahoma State keeps plenty of depth from last year and Texas might finally be ready to compete on a weekly basis.
