Texas and Oklahoma are officially members of the SEC as of today, as college football begins a new era this season with conference realignment. On August 1st, the Big Ten adds UCLA, USC, Oregon, and Washington, the Big 12 gets Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah, and the ACC welcomes Cal, Stanford, and SMU.

Off all the new additions, sportsbooks are tracking three schools to potentially have an immediate impact: On FanDuel, Utah (+300) is the favorite to win the Big 12 championship game in its first season, while Oregon (+200) and Texas (+350) both have the second-best odds in their conferences. Stanford (+50,000), UCLA (+20,000) and Arizona State (+11,000) are currently the least-likely newcomers to make a difference this season.
