00:00This could potentially be a one-bid league.

00:02Like right now, if you ask me,

00:03will the Big 12 get one or two teams?

00:05You set a market, one and a half, I would bet the under.

00:07I think the Big 12 is only gonna get one team

00:09just because it's seen as not as good

00:11of a power for a conference as the SEC or the Big 10.

00:14Like the ACC and Big 12 are seen as less than

00:17than those two big behemoths, SEC and Big 10.

00:19So for me, in terms of betting a team

00:21to make the playoff out of the Big 12,

00:23instead of betting them to make the playoff,

00:25I think you should go ahead

00:26and bet them to win the conference.

00:27I think that's the much better route

00:29because look at the discrepancy

00:31between the two of the CFP price and the conference price.

00:34For BYU, who's right now the favorite in the conference,

00:37they're plus 185 to win the Big 12.

00:39They're minus 155 to make the playoff.

00:42I don't think BYU can make the playoff

00:44if they don't win the Big 12.

00:45Like I get they're undefeated right now,

00:47but that conference is not respected

00:48like the SEC and the Big 10 are.

00:50So I would rather bet BYU plus 185 than BYU minus 155.

00:55Iowa State, they're the same price.

00:57Plus 250 to make the playoff, plus 250 to make the Big 12.

01:00But the one that I think is really interesting

01:01and the one that I do want to bet right now,

01:03and I think everybody else should bet it as well,

01:05it's the longer price of those three teams to the top.

01:07And that's the Colorado Buffaloes.

01:09Like imagine that.

01:10Coach Prime, Shadur, Travis Hunter, we coming.

01:13We might be here.

01:15Colorado to make the playoff, plus 240

01:17to win the Big 12, plus 350.

01:20They were on BYU last week.

01:21They had a really big time week

01:23with Iowa State losing, Kansas State losing.

01:25These teams are dropping like flies.

01:28For Colorado, who's probably going to be favored

01:29in their final four games,

01:30has a clear path to make the playoff.

01:32Not saying that it's going to be easy,

01:33but if they do win out,

01:35they can get to the Big 12 title game.

01:36And at that point, you could be holding plus 350

01:38on Colorado to win the Big 12

01:40with a chance to win and get in the playoff

01:42and not just win the conference.

01:44So for me, Colorado plus 350 to win the Big 12

01:47is the bet to be made ahead of this weekend's games

01:50because BYU's at Utah, the Holy War,

01:52insanely, insanely heated rivalry in that one.

01:55Then Iowa State on the road at Kansas,

01:57a field goal favorite.

01:58These are coin flip games and BYU and Iowa State

02:01having to play Utah on the road,

02:02Colorado gets them at home.

02:03I think this is a really good spot

02:05to bet the Buffaloes plus 350 to win the conference.

02:08All right, we'll bring, first off,

02:10you're a college sports fan, you gotta love that.

02:12Colorado in the playoff would be absolutely amazing

02:14at that price.

02:15I'm in.

02:16I mean, imagine the rating on a Colorado Big 12 title game.

02:20Oh, God.

02:21A Colorado playoff game?

02:23Let me think, like what seed,

02:26if Colorado won the Big 12,

02:27they'd be a top five seed, right?

02:28I'm trying to think of what like the most fun game

02:30for Colorado would be.

02:32It would likely be a four seed, which is wild.

02:35They would get the buy,

02:36so they would get into the quarterfinal

02:37because you're gonna be talking about that,

02:39like if they win out, they'll get rated higher

02:41than the group of five champion.

02:42So like, they would be a four seed in the college,

02:45to where they're already into the quarterfinal

02:47and they're already playing like a big time bull.
