## Resource

Big Ten playoff chaos is brewing for 2026—Oregon and Ohio State lock in, but Indiana’s QB change throws a wrench in the works. The real drama? Iowa, sitting at plus 700 odds, is wildly undervalued. With a tough stretch against Michigan, OSU, and Washington—but otherwise favored—they’re primed for 9-10 wins. Their odds? Nearly double USC, Michigan, and Penn State’s, despite similar win projections. This dark horse could be the sleeper everyone overlooks—and might just steal a playoff spot.
