ESPN’s FPI is back with more B1G Championship Game predictions following Week 10. The system continues to project an overwhelming favorite in the conference moving forward.
Despite struggling heavily in the first half against Rutgers, Ohio State is still given more than a 50% chance of winning the league. Led by TreVeyon Henderson, the Buckeyes have their dynamic running back healthy and in the lineup alongside superstar receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
Michigan is second in the odds for the conference title but the Wolverines saw their odds dip slightly despite a resounding win over Purdue. Meanwhile, Penn State saw its odds creep up a bit after dominating Maryland on the road.
That situation behind Ohio State will play itself out in Week 11 as Michigan hits the road to face Penn State in Beaver Stadium.
Behind the B1G East trio, Iowa is the B1G West favorite with Wisconsin clinging to life in the conference race per the FPI. Here is the current outlook:
- Ohio State — 50.9%
- Michigan — 29.9%
- Penn State — 12.1%
- Iowa — 5.2%
- Wisconsin — 1.2%
Despite the ongoing NCAA investigation, Michigan remains the current betting favorite in the Big Ten Championship odds to pull off the 3-peat in the conference. Ohio State is second behind the Wolverines followed by Penn State.
The Nittany Lions have their shot to upset the current order in Week 11 while Ohio State and Michigan will square off down the road in Week 13.
