After finishing out their season with a perfect 12-0 record, the No.1 Oregon Ducks are on their way to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship. But what are the betting odds for conference championship game against the Penn State Nittany Lions.
finished the regular season as the only undefeated team in the nation, and they are favored to win their next game: the Big Ten Championship Game against the Penn State Nittany Lions. So, with the Ducks eyeing their first ever Big Ten Championship during their first year with the conference, what are the betting odds that they win?
Out of the 10 scenarios of tiebreakers for the Big Ten title game, eight of those outcomes didn’t favor Penn State. The Nittany Lions inclusion in this championship game seems fairly out of left field. Alas, that’s college football. This will be the first time the Ducks have faced the Nittany Lions since the 1995 Rose Bowl, the 81st anniversary of the historic bowl game, when Penn State defeated the Ducks 38-20.
ESPN’s Football Power index takes past performance from a team on both sides of the ball, recruiting statistics, and schedule strength among other factors to determine the likelihood of a team winning said games or entering the postseason. Oregon is projected to win out 49.1%, with Penn State at 50.1%.
