College Football Betting - Big 12 Power Poll
by Mike Rose

The 2009 college football betting season continues with its tenth week of play this week. Check out how BetUS stacks up this power conference in this week's college football power rankings…
1: Texas Tech Red Raiders (5-3 ATS, 6-3 SU) (LW: 1) Considering how important the passing game is in the Red Raiders Air Raid attack , HC Mike Leach has done a fantastic job of keeping his offense moving this year. Even though both QB Graham Harrell and WR Michael Crabtree left the program in the offseason and Leach has had to use three different quarterbacks, T-Tech is still going bowling once again after crushing Kansas 42-21 in Lubbock on Saturday.
Up Next: Bye
2: Iowa State Cyclones (5-3 ATS, 5-4 SU) (LW: 1) The Cyclones got a huge dose of reality once again in College Station on Saturday afternoon when they were crippled by Texas A&M 35-10. Considering there are ten teams with at least five wins in conference, getting to six wins may not be enough to guarantee ISU a spot in a bowl game, so it would behoove it to grab a signature win against Okie State to boost its resume this weekend.
Up Next: Home vs. Oklahoma State (+7.5)
3: Kansas State Wildcats (5-3 ATS, 5-4 SU) (LW: 5) What a weird situation Kansas State is in! There's nothing to be ashamed about after losing 42-30 in Norman on Saturday, but at 5-4 overall and 3-2 in conference, the Wildcats are still not guaranteed a bowl berth. However, a win against either Kansas or Missouri and a victory in Lincoln will send KSU to the Big XII Championship game. But considering those three opponents, the Wildcats could just as easily be shut out of the bowl season all together.
Up Next: Home vs. Kansas (+2.5)
4: Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-3 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 3) The Huskers failed to cover their third straight game on Halloween night, but at least they got back into the win column with a 20-10 victory in Waco against the Bears. Much like Kansas State, Nebraska can still win the Big XII North going away... or it can still fail to become bowl eligible.
Up Next: Home vs. Oklahoma (+6)
5: Colorado Buffaloes (4-3 ATS, 2-6 SU) (LW: 2) That sound you hear in the background is the sound of HC Dan Hawkins' coaching career crashing and burning. After getting throttled at home by Missouri on Saturday, the Buffs are once again pretty much guaranteed to be left home for the bowl season. How much more of this will the Colorado faithful take before Hawkins is canned?
Up Next: Home vs. Texas A&M (+5.5)
6: Texas A&M Aggies (4-3-1 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 7) Does anyone realize that Texas A&M has the third best offense in the entire country? The Aggies average 490.5 yards per game and rank in the Top-25 in both passing (299.4 ypg, 12th) and rushing (191.1 ypg, 24th). They cruised past Iowa State 35-10 on Saturday afternoon, and now look to gain bowl eligibility in Boulder this weekend.
Up Next: Away @ Colorado (-5.5)
And the rest…
7: Missouri Tigers (4-4 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 9)
8: Oklahoma State Cowboys (3-3-1 ATS, 6-2 SU) (LW: 6)
9: Oklahoma Sooners (3-4-1 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 8)
10: Texas Longhorns (3-4-1 ATS, 8-0 SU) (LW: 12)
11: Baylor Bears (3-5 ATS, 3-5 SU) (LW: 10)
12: Kansas Jayhawks (2-5 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 11)
