Pac-12 teams with the best odds to join Colorado in the Big 12

Utah is among the handful of teams viewed as possible Big 12 targets

We are one day removed from Colorado, shocking the college football world and moving back to the Big 12.

The move comes just days after Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff expressed confidence that no one in the Pac-12 would leave the conference. It also comes about a week after Colorado asked for and wasn't given numbers for the conference's media rights deal.

With the Buffs off to the Big 12 there is a resounding belief around college football that they won't be the only Pac-12 team to make the jump, with SportsLine oddsmakers even releasing betting odds on who could be the next team. Of those teams, the Utes who were once a part of the coveted four corner schools, are included. 

Let's take a look at who has the best odds to be the next Pac-12 team to make the jump to the Big 12.

Odds: +300

The Wildcats are viewed as the favorites to join the Pac-12 with Colorado, and are viewed as a perfect fit for the conference thanks to their strong basketball programs.

Odds: +400

Arizona State isn't viewed as highly as Arizona, but there could be a possibly that the Big 12 ends up taking them both if they decide to expand to over 14 teams. 

Utah

Odds: +600

The Utes have the worst odds of the Pac-12 teams mentioned, but they do have better odds than programs such as UConn, San Diego State, Gonzaga, and Memphis.
