2023 PAC-12 Football Championship Odds – Conference Winner Betting Futures

The PAC-12 is in the middle of some drastic changes, as several teams are set to leave the league in the near future. But the USC Trojans are still in this conference for now, and they enter this year as the team most likely to represent this league in the College Football Playoff. Here, we look at the PAC-12 championship betting odds for the upcoming season, and break down the landscape of this conference relative to those odds, while the conference still exists.

PAC-12 Conference Betting Preview

The favorites to win the PAC-12 this season are the USC Trojans, fresh off of a season where they fell short in the conference championship game to Utah. The Trojans have the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy for a second straight season, as Caleb Williams is expected to put up huge numbers again in 2023. But Heisman-level quarterback play has never been the issue for Lincoln Riley-coached teams, and it will be the USC defense that decides how their season goes after an unbeaten non-conference campaign.

Right behind USC on the list of PAC-12 favorites are a pair of Pacific Northwest squads in Oregon and Washington. Both of those teams have experienced quarterbacks leading them this season in Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr., respectively. Both teams are off to strong starts, but how they perform against conference opponents is all that matters.

Of course, it would be foolish to count out the Utah Utes this coming season, as they have won the last two Pac-12 championships. While his favorite target Dalton Kincaid is now an NFL tight end, quarterback Cam Rising is back this season for the Utes. Rising missed the early non-conference games for the Utes due to injury, but the Utes are a trendy pick to win this conference at many online sportsbooks as they should only get better with him back on the field.

PAC-12 Championship Betting & Handicapping

From a betting perspective the PAC-12 is always interesting, as its teams seem to regularly fall just short of the College Football Playoff. While USC looks great early this year, they need to avoid tripping over their own feet down the stretch, or this conference may never see the playoff again.

As a whole, it will be interesting to see how the teams in the PAC-12 play this year in conference competition. The PAC-12 as a whole is set to more or less disband in the near future, and how seriously the league is taken as a whole in 2023 will be interesting to monitor, even if every team is still hoping to use this conference as a springboard to the playoff in this final year.

Also, bettors should make sure to avoid betting on Colorado, even if Deion Sanders is the darling of some of the loudest and worst members of sports media. Sanders failed to win the Celebration Bowl during his time at Jackson State, despite having far superior talent to the other HBCUs he faced in that game. While the Buffaloes won some non-conference games, they are simply not good enough to compete with teams like USC, Oregon, and Utah just yet.
