PFF releases conference title odds, win totals for every Big 12 football team

Oklahoma is the overwhelming favorite, while Kansas State may be lower than you’d expect.

PFF has recently gone through each college football conference with their own simulation numbers and analysis to determine the odds and win totals for each football team.

According to PFF, their percentages are derived from 10,000 simulations of each team’s regular-season schedule and a model of how the conference title game and College Football Playoff will play out.

Oklahoma is the overwhelming favorite in regards to the Big 12, while Kansas State may have landed lower than you’d expect. For Texas specifically, they are confident that Steve Sarkisian will take the program back to elite status. It helps that the Longhorns also deploy one of PFF’s top breakout candidates for 2021 in running back Bijan Robinson.

Here’s where each Big 12 team landed in PFF’s rankings:

Texas Longhorns now have the third-best odds to win the Big 12 per BetMGM

When the season started the oddsmakers had the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners the top teams. Now there is a new second team, not Texas

Before the 2020 college football season kicked off there were two teams listed as favorites to win the Big 12 Conference. One team was of course the Oklahoma Sooners, they have won the title in five-straight seasons. The other team right at the top with them were the Texas Longhorns. Many felt that it would be a return matchup to the 2018 clash at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Those odds were according to BetMGM.

Fast forward to week 11 of the college football season and the Longhorns no longer find themselves as the No. 2 favorite for the Big 12 Championship. Texas is now tied for third in the odds to win it all. Losing back-to-back games in early October will do that to you. In fact as a ranked team they lost both games to unranked opponents. However, they are still in the thick of the race alongside four other teams.
