Updated BetMGM odds for the Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball national championship and Big 12 Championships.
The Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball program has been on a bit of a hot streak winning four of the last five games. In that stretch, Lon Kruger’s squad defeated three-straight top 10 teams. It started with the Kansas Jayhawks who were in the top 10 at the time. The stumble began and eventually they were knocked out of the top 25 altogether.
The Sooners then followed up that win with a win over their rivals the Texas Longhorns on Jan. 26. They were a top 10 team ranked at No. 5, then game the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Big 12-SEC Challenge. The Sooners took down one of the hottest teams in the country without two of their starters in Austin Reaves and Alondes Williams. That sent the Sooners to the No. 9 spot in the AP Poll before a loss to Texas Tech.
With only six games remaining on the schedule, could be seven if the Baylor game gets added, BetMGM has their updated odds for the National Championship.
The Sooners have the 23rd best odds, not exactly great but better than where they were earlier in the year. They weren’t even listed among the top 30 teams in the country. Their odds to win the conference are fourth-best while they are the fifth-best in the National Championship odds among Big 12 teams.

Heading into the 2021 season, the usual contenders are atop the BetMGM national championship odds.
For the third time since the implementation of the College Football Playoff, Alabama was crowned as the national champions. It was another season where the Big 12 did not participate and was left looking from the outside in.
As we head into the 2021 season, the usual contenders are atop the BetMGM national championship odds. The Crimson Tide is the odds favorite at +300, with Clemson shortly behind at +350.
Within the conference, Texas has the third-best odds behind Oklahoma and Iowa State. The Sooners are once again the favorites to represent the Big 12 within the playoff and are the fourth overall favorite to win at +700. For the first time in three seasons, Lincoln Riley will have his starting quarterback returning for another season.
After Steve Sarkisian’s hire, the Longhorns have been slated at +5000 to win the national championship next season. The former Alabama offensive coordinator is fresh off of winning one in January.
It has been 11 years since Texas appeared in a national championship and 15 years since winning the 2006 Rose Bowl against USC. Sarkisian’s ultimate goal is to start contending for championships, national and Big 12, right away.
Here are the full odds:
Alabama +300
Clemson +350
Ohio State +500
Oklahoma +700
Georgia +800
Texas A&M +2500

Seeing Texas alongside programs such as Michigan and Tennessee shows that there is still work to be done. The Wolverines just extended head coach Jim Harbaugh, despite their 2-4 shortened season. As for the SEC program, Jeremy Pruitt was fired and the Volunteers have seen a mass exodus of players with NCAA violations pending.
In order to get up there with the likes of Florida, Iowa State, and Notre Dame, Sarkisian must be able to have a solid year right away.

Texas’ undefeated Big 12 record is on the line with another tough road test against WVU. Here is how you can watch it plus the BetMGM odds.
Texas’ undefeated Big 12 record is on the line with another tough road test against West Virginia. The Mountaineers have stumbled to a 1-2 record so far in conference play. Saturday’s matchup will be their first Big 12 action at home this season.
Last season in Morgantown, it was an embarrassing defeat for Shaka Smart and company. West Virginia outplayed Texas in every facet of the game, winning by 38. Revenge will be on the mind of every Longhorn player.
A top 15 matchup is in store as well. Texas is currently ranked the No. 4 team in the AP poll, while West Virginia is at No. 14. Beating two of the top two Big 12 teams on the road would set the Longhorns up nicely for a regular-season championship opportunity.
