College football kicks off in about a month. Here are where the Future bets stand now on a service I use:

Natty
Stanford +2500

Pac-12:
UA/ASU: +12500
Oregon +2500
UCLA +4000
$C +2000
UW +2500

Notables:
Alabama +500
Clemson +600
tOSU +700
Michigan +900
Oklahoma +900
Notre Dame +1400

Thoughts: It's always fun to pick 1-2 longshots and 1-2 favorites and roll the dice. I think the Pac-12 will make the playoff this year at the expense of the Big 12 or Big 10. I also think Stanford will drop a game early in the season. I'm going to wait to get in on the Cardinal Natty at better odds. Will likely hedge with Bama and OK.

Pac-12

Arizona +1200
Arizona State +1200
California +2200
Colorado +2500
Oregon +250
Oregon State +4500
$C +200
Stanford +225
UCLA +250
Utah +700
Washington +500
Washington State +1200

Thoughts: I don't see any value here. I think the North (Oregon and Stanford) and South (LA schools) are two team races this year. I'm not buying UW being ready to challenge. I'd give Utah a better chance at the South than UW in the North. However, if you believe Oregon's D will kill the Ducks' chances and UW is legit, you could do well betting here.

Pac-12 North

California +2200
Oregon +200
Oregon State +2200
Stanford +125
Washington +150
Washington State +700

Thoughts: Interesting that UW is favored over Oregon in the North but double the value to win the Conference. I'll be jumping on the Ducks and Stanford here.

Pac-12 South


Arizona +900
Arizona State +550
Colorado +2500
$C Even
UCLA +175
Utah +400

Thoughts: I don't see much separation between the LA schools. If you favor $C or UCLA and think the South will be a bloodbath, there is some value in betting your choice in LA and one of the longer shots.
