Which team earns the right to play the Texas Longhorns or Oklahoma Sooners in the final year of the Big 12 a we know it? Bodog previews the best team in the Big 12.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have 15/1 odds to win the National Championship, meaning their final year in the Big 12 could be a big one. They’re next on our college football preview.

Bo Pelini’s resurrection of Nebraska (2/1 Big 12 odds) has made former coach Bill Callaghan look like a beer league softball coach. The Cornhuskers have gone from a joke to a legitimate title threat. Ten starters return on offense this year, though quarterback is admittedly shaky. Zac Lee will start the season under center, but he’ll be looking over his shoulder at sophomore Cody Green.

Nebraska will employ a quirky 4-2-5 defensive scheme geared to stopping the pass. The “D” lost some key players to graduation and the draft, none more important than defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. There should be enough replacement parts to keep the good times rolling, though.
