Starting next season we\u2019ll have the craziness of Oklahoma and Texas in the SEC, a completely facelifted Big 10 and a possibly non-existent Pac 12. But before all of that mess hits us, the season upcoming will feel somewhat sentimental as matchups in the power five conferences of college football are played for what is likely the last time in years to come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The power five structure as we know it is changing right before our eyes, but there\u2019s still one more season ahead where the forecast will look normal to college football fans. Let\u2019s break in to the Power Five odds to win conferences in 2023 and see who may have a backdoor path to the CFB Playoff:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEC&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quite predictably the two time defending champs from Athens, GA are not only the favorite to three peat nationally, but they are a commanding -110 favorite to win the SEC yet again. Stetson Bennett has moved on to the NFL but who says Carson Beck can\u2019t be the next in line to produce similar numbers in that system? Not I. Alabama at +300 and LSU at +450 are your only other outs to win, and that will take an epic performance in Atlanta to derail the Bulldogs from a three peat. I\u2019ve already penciled the Bulldogs from Georgia in the CFB Playoff, so <strong>Georgia -110<\/strong> is a strong play for them Dawgs to take care of business in the SEC this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big 10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tried and true talking point of August college football banter &#8211; Buckeyes or Wolverines in the Big 10? In what is unquestionably the most competitive power five rivalry in recent years, Michigan is now delivering the beating to OSU behind J.J. McCarthy. As the Buckeyes now move on from C.J. Stroud at QB and boast an outstanding recruiting class, it\u2019s hard to imagine Michigan taming their rival to the south for a third straight year. This conference futures pick is likely reliant on the result of the OSU\/Michigan clash on Thanksgiving weekend, and my gut is telling me this is the year the script flips again. <strong>Ohio State (+160) <\/strong>possesses a slight edge over Michigan (+180) in odds to win, and that\u2019s my early lean in the Big Ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/articles.runyourpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Michigan_Spring_Football_23091739840396.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/07181528\/Michigan_Spring_Football_23091739840396.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/07181528\/Michigan_Spring_Football_23091739840396-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/07181528\/Michigan_Spring_Football_23091739840396-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AP Photo\/Carlos Osorio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big 12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here we go again with the Texas hype. In my 13 years living in Austin it ceases to amaze how consistently the hype machine gets revved up in August for the Longhorns, and every year the letdown follows. The Horns are EVEN money to win the Big 12 and are on to year two with Steve Sarkisian at the helm. Questions still linger as to who will play the most at QB between Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning, so I have a hard time placing them as a favorite here. If you\u2019re looking for a value play in power five futures beyond Texas\u2019 rival Oklahoma at +350 to win the Big 12, there\u2019s bomb opportunities for a team like <strong>Kansas State (+500)<\/strong> who people forget WON the Big 12 last year, or even <strong>Texas Tech (+1200)<\/strong> to steal one more trophy from their in-state rivals before Texas leaves for the SEC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ACC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sexiest future in the ACC this season is undoubtedly Florida State (+160), who are the favorites to win the conference off a red hot six game winning streak to end last season. In theory, Jordan Travis should continue the charge and spring into Heisman contention by October, but with September matchups against LSU and Clemson I\u2019m thinking they\u2019ll be behind the 8 ball to start. That\u2019s why I\u2019m likely placing a safety play on <strong>Clemson (also +160)<\/strong> to do their usual 10-11 win thing\u2026but I also have a bomb play from the back of the pack. Louisville\u2019s new QB Jack Plummer is transferring from California and reuniting with Louisville Coach Jeff Brohm who he\u2019s played under before, and it could be electric on offense. A sprinkle pick of <strong>Louisville +1000<\/strong> to sneak into the ACC Championship could hold great value if Clemson or Florida State are teetering by December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pac 12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy the board on the PAC 12, cause you\u2019ll never see it look like this again. The conference is currently all the way down to just four teams staying put, and there\u2019s questions about the future of the conference all together. That\u2019s what makes these west coast PAC 12 after dark contests all the more sentimental this season. As has been the case in recent years, it\u2019s a wide open board between USC (+200) behind Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams, Oregon at +300 and Washington at +320 to win the conference for maybe the last time. Ironically the 2022 champion in Utah spoiled USC\u2019s playoff party and was given little love by oddsmakers at +620 odds to win, mainly due to key losses on both sides of the ball. I\u2019m laying it down on Michael Penix Jr. and the <strong>UW Huskies (+320)<\/strong> to surprise here, as their QB now possesses the experience to get them far before they depart the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter which direction you lean this season, take a good mental snapshot of the beautiful conferences we knew and loved for so many years before Alignment Armageddon in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Power Five may be going away as we know it, but there&#8217;s still action to preview this season before
