The Utah Utes have been a force in the Pac-12 for years and now move to a Big 12 conference lacking two staple programs in Texas and Oklahoma. See where they stand in our full Big 12 championship odds below.
The Big 12 is welcoming four new programs to the conference in 2024 and with defending champion Texas as well as Oklahoma moving on to the SEC, the college football odds expect one of those new teams to make some serious noise in its first year.
With that said, things are as wide open as ever. Read more in our full Big 12 championship odds below.

Big 12 championship favorite
Utah Utes (+280 to +320)
A bet on the Utah Utes to win the Big 12 in their first year is just as much a bet on starting quarterback Cameron Rising. That in combination with some of the best line play in the country made Utah so tough to play — especially at home — in the Pac-12.
The toughest games on their 2024 schedule include: at Oklahoma State on Sept. 21, at Colorado on Nov. 16, and at UCF to close the regular season on Nov. 29.

Understanding college football futures odds
Sportsbooks release college football futures odds pretty much as soon the clock hits zero in the previous season’s National Championship game. There are many ways to wager on NCAA football futures but we’ll use picking the outright winner of the National Championship — definitely the most popular — as our example.
During the offseason and preseason, you’ll be able to get a plus-money price on basically any team in the nation as there is so much uncertainty around what will happen next year.
NCAA football championship odds will usually look like this:
- Alabama Crimson Tide +125
This means that on a $100 bet, you’ll stand to win $125 if the Crimson Tide win the national title. If it’s close to the end of the regular season and there is a particularly dominant program, you might see that a team has a minus sign (-) ahead of its odds.
This means that if you bet on Georgia, you would need to bet $145 to profit $100 if the Bulldogs won the championship.
Of course, futures odds are a fluid market. They can change every day based on news, injuries, suspensions, transfers, etc. In college football there generally isn’t too much movement in the futures market during the offseason, but once the season begins, look for huge changes week-to-week based on wins and losses.
All the odds seen above are in American format. Should you find decimal format or fractional format easier to read, simply convert the odds with our easy-to-use odds converter tool.
