The start of the College Football season is still months away and the Big Ten Conference Championship is even further, but the betting odds for the Big Ten are already out. That means you can already bet on which team will win the conference and potentially head to the College Football Playoff.
The complete odds for the Big Teams, via BetOnline, are listed below. Some analysis then follows. Both the US odds (the + whatever number) and the fraction odds are listed.
14. Rutgers: +25000 (250/1)
T-11. Purdue: +15000 (150/1)
T-11. Maryland: +15000 (150/1)
T-11. Illinois: +15000 (150/1)
10. Indiana: +5000 (50/1)

T-6. Michigan State: +2500 (25/1)
T-6. Northwestern: +2500 (25/1)

T-3. Penn State: +500 (5/1)
2. Michigan: +300 (3/1)
1. Ohio State: +100 (1/1)
There's a clear-cut favorite in the Big Ten, followed by three contenders. Ohio State is the heavy favorite and at +100, there really isn't much reason to put money down if you're trying to win big. Despite losing a ton of talent, Michigan ranks second. Ohio State and Wisconsin round out the Big Ten contenders.
Nebraska checks in fifth, but it's a distant fifth. The rest of the order doesn't contain too many surprises. Rutgers ranks dead last and betting on them to win the Big Ten is basically throwing away money.
