NCAA football 2010 I've got a few season wins I'm looking at. I don't do a whole lot of those since you have to wait so damn long for the $$.
Texas Longhorns to win 2010 BCS title +800 for 1.1%
The ultimate homer pick. Except that I have this more like +500. The schedule is very easy. It's possible this team sets some records on the offensive side of the ball. It's still a little early, but I think this team is better than last year's team and if the defense gets their stuff together is possibly better than the 2005 MNC team. Malcolm Williams may become a household name. Some big name holes to fill on defense, but Texas simply reloads. Some questions at the RB position, but it's not a lack of players, more that there isn't a marquee player who stepped up last year. Colt rushed for close to 600 yards last year and I don't think the coaching staff wants him to do that again. The main drawback is that I don't see Texas getting to the title game with a loss this year. The SOS will make it very difficult. Possible losses with schedule:

obviously OU is no walk in the park. I look for Bradford to struggle a bit throughout the entire season similar to Colt during his sophomore season after a solid freshman campaign. Texas will probably be favored vs OU this year and should be. I would line the game -3/3' in July. if you have a chance to go to this game...it will be worth just about any sacrifice you would need to make if you love college football. This game will probably be one of the most hyped games in football history and the pageantry throughout the entire weekend in Dallas makes this rivalry unique.
Texas Tech has lost too much and only has two games to figure things out. Texas pays them back with a 30+ point win.
Colorado may offer some problems. Texas has 2 weeks to prepare and a lot of it will be spent on OU.
Missouri has lost too much. 7.5 wins under -210 sums it up.
Oklahoma State may give Texas all they can handle. 3rd straight road game for the 'Horns. Texas has this habit of spotting the Cowboys a lot of points then storming back. In '07 it took a 28 point 4th quarter to win on a FG as time expired.
Baylor should be an above average team when the face Texas. They don't have much of an HFA, but it may be different this year. A Bears win wouldn't make their season, it would make their century.
Kansas should be a good team this year and I think they win the North, but I haven't looked as hard at them as I will in the next few days.
Texas A&M can't be worse can they? I haven't looked too hard at them yet. Hopefully the same refs aren't officiating this game as the '99 debacle. These two games may have similarities.
