At one point the Big Ten actually did have 10 teams, but heading into this
season the marquee conference will have a dozen schools vying for berths in its
newly-created championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium. Penn State gave the Big Ten 11 teams back in 1990, and with Nebraska in the
fold for this season the conference is up to 12 schools – and they're now able
to hold a Big Ten Championship Game.
And newly-admitted Nebraska sits atop the college
football odds at the Bodog Sportsbook to win that title game in December,
with a line of 8/5. The Cornhuskers went 10-4 last season and 6-2 in Big 12
action, going on to lose the Holiday Bowl by a score of 19-7 to Washington.
Wisconsin is next at 13/5 to win the Big Ten this season, with Ohio State at
5/1 on those college football futures. Those two schools represented the Big Ten
in the BCS last year, with Wisconsin falling 21-19 to TCU in the Rose Bowl, and
Ohio State winning 31-26 against Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl.
Penn State is then at 11/2 to win the Big Ten, with Michigan State at 10/1,
Michigan at 15/1, and Iowa at 17/1. Northwestern (22/1) and Illinois (25/1)
represent the middle tier of contenders for the conference title, with Purdue
(85/1), Indiana (125/1) and Minnesota (125/1) the longshots on those college
football odds.
As well, with 12 teams in the fold the Big Ten has now been split into two
divisions – with unpopular names 'Leaders' and 'Legends'.
Wisconsin is the favorite to win the Leaders Division at the Bodog Sportsbook
at 7/5, followed by Ohio State (2/1), Penn State (43/20), Illinois (10/1),
Purdue (33/1), and Indiana (40/1).
Nebraska is then the chalk in the Legends Division at 1/2, followed by
Michigan State (4/1), Michigan (11/2), Iowa (7/1), Northwestern (9/1), and
Minnesota (50/1).
As for the overall BCS National Championship, Wisconsin is the top Big Ten
team on that college
football betting board at the Bodog Sportsbook at 20/1, with Nebraska and
Ohio State both at 25/1.
Penn State (30/1), Michigan State (50/1), Iowa State (65/1), and Michigan
State (75/1) are the other listed teams on the BCS National Championship list
from the conference heading into the season. Get all your NCAA football
odds at Bodog.
