There are currently two Big Ten teams that should have no issue making the College Football Playoffs.
Indiana and Ohio State are once again on a collision course, but that begs the question: are there any other playoff teams in this conference?
Here in 2026, Oregon remains in the mix, as do teams like Nebraska and Iowa, while suddenly Wisconsin nearly has as good odds as Michigan.
In total, five teams have a higher than 20% chance to make the playoffs, but there are only three teams in the conference that, according toESPN Analytics, have a 0.0% chance.
