SportsLine college football expert Thomas Casale takes a look at the Big Ten and provides his best bets for the conference ahead of the 2026 season


The Big Ten is flying high these days. After watching the SEC and Clemson dominate college football for close to a decade, the Big Ten has produced three straight national champions: Michigan, Ohio State, and Indiana. Yes, Indiana.
Can the Big Ten pull it off again? Don't bet against it. Ohio State, Oregon, and Indiana are three of the favorites to win the College Football Playoff this season with odds of +900 or better at FanDuel Sportsbook.
We break down the Big Ten with odds to win the conference, win totals and best bets. All odds are from FanDuel.
Who will win the Big Ten? Is Indiana worth backing after a 16-0 season and national championship, or should bettors focus on other stalwarts like Ohio State, Oregon and USC? Join SportsLine right now to see Thomas Casale's Big Ten preview, including his pick to win the conference!
