It’s too bad the various sportsbooks don’t put out a prop ahead of college football betting season on which conference will win the national championship. That would be easy money: SEC. Then again, the books know how dominant the SEC has been, so there’s no money to be made by posting that prop.
The NCAA Tournament is obviously a very different animal as no conference has dominated in men’s basketball for the most part, although it should be noted that no school from outside a current Power 6 league – ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC – has won the tournament since UNLV way back in 1990 when it was in the Big West (The Rebels are now in the Mountain West). The Big East is a power league in basketball only as it is no longer in the business of football.
This year’s national title game is from NRG Stadium in Houston on April 3. The last time it hosted, Villanova beat North Carolina in an epic 2016 final, but neither of those bluebloods are in the 2023 Big Dance. Let’s break down the odds at the top-rated sports betting sites for which conference the champion comes from.
