Never has a conference been so overwhelmingly held early in the season and so completely written off late in the season as the Big Ten. Every year it seems like Ohio State is coming up short or Penn State is missing the big one. The mistake people make is disrespecting the conference so vehemently once the national championship inevitably goes to someone else after weeks of anticipation that “this could be the year.”

The truth is this: The Big Ten is a quality football conference that perhaps gets too much attention and possibly can’t, and consistently, keep up with the pressure. It doesn’t matter. Gearing up for the 2009 college football season, there are some big bets to be made, and here are the top three Big Ten conference football picks to watch out for:

3. Michigan State – Last season, the Spartans posted nine wins and four losses. Running back Javon Ringer kept the Spartans in the conference title mix all season until a late loss to rival Penn State ended any and all hopes. Unfortunately for the Spartans, they are losing their quarterback Brian Hoyer and Ringer, but expectations are high for the talented pool to come. Preseason Defensive Player of the Year Greg Jones makes up a lot on the other side of the ball at linebacker. Look for this team to do better than expected and beat some teams they probably shouldn’t.

2. Ohio State: After an impressive 10-3 season by most team standards, the Buckeyes were finally disappointed by their 2008-2009 performance, just their first. On more than one occasion they have made it to the title game only to fail big time in front of a national audience. This troubled history is the only thing keeping Ohio State from getting a vote of confidence to lead the Big Ten class this season. That, and effectively they’ve lost all their big shots: James Laurinitis, Malcolm Jenkins, Brian Robiske and Chris Wells. That’s not to say the Buckeyes don’t have talent. They’re just in an “under year” position, and it’s going to take some old-fashioned “fighting the ropes” bravado to get to the top of the heap.

1. Penn State: Penn State is coming off a Rose Bowl appearance and a win over rival Ohio State. The Nittany Lions may have a young receiving corps, but they have All Big Ten back Evan Royster to carry some of the load. Defensively, they return to Sean Lee, a top linebacker, to lead the defense. All it takes is the same tenacity they had last year to clinch the conference and maybe get another BCS appearance.

Whether you agree with these three Big Ten football picks for the 2009 college football season or not, one thing is for sure: there is money to be made betting on college football. However, before placing your bets on the season, please note that you should select a reputable and established sports book. Keep an eye out for reputation, feedback, and a bookie bonus. Many services that allow you to bet on their soccer teams will offer you a bonus from the bookmaker as a courtesy for using their service. A bookmaker bonus allows you to play longer with less risk, and you should make the most of it.

So get out the piggy bank and foam finger #1 – football season is here again!
