Oklahoma State Has Second-Best Odds to Win the Big 12 Title

Despite their disappointing loss to Texas on Halloween, the Cowboys are still in the driver’s seat on the road to Arlington.

Sportsbook BetOnline.ag released this week’s conference title odds and OSU has the second-best chance behind perennial favorite Oklahoma.

Oklahoma — 5/4
Oklahoma State — 9/4
Iowa State — 15/4
Texas — 5/1
Kansas State — 10/1
West Virginia — 40/1

OSU, Iowa State and Kansas State are all technically in the driver’s seat, each with a clear path to the conference title game — win out.

Berry Tramel dove into Big 12 title game scenarios and the most clear cut are that if any of those three escapes the rest of the season without adding any more Ls to the column, they’d punch their ticket to Jerry World.

But Kansas State isn’t the same team that was ranked 16th before QB Skylar Thompson was lost for the year. The Wildcats were run off the field by the Mountaineers in Morgantown last week. OSU’s got a turnover problem that it will need to address before we gain any confidence in the Cowboys — and they still have a trip to Norman.

Iowa State probably has the best chance to run the table of the trio with three of four remaining being held in Ames, but the Cyclones still have a trip to Austin scheduled.

Berry looked further at the more murky scenarios, namely Oklahoma living up to that top spot on the list, and repeating history.

A win in Manhattan for OSU this weekend sets up a massive Bedlam with title implications and a bye week to fret about it.

BetOnline also release CFP odds and Heisman odds this week.

Oklahoma State fell from 40/1 odds to win it all to 150/1 after its overtime loss. Chuba Hubbard went from owning 66/1 odds to 80/1 after being held scoreless and to a season-low 72 yards in the loss.
