In what was essentially an elimination game, the Ohio State Buckeyes have managed to move on after their win against the Penn State Nittany Lions. With a tiebreaker over Penn State, the Buckeyes have just one test left with a matchup against the Indiana Hoosiers looming large.

With only Maryland, Wisconsin, and Wisconsin left on their schedule, the Oregon Ducks are in a great position to continue their high level of play as sizable betting favorites and stamp their ticket to the Big Ten Conference Championship. Especially since they own the tiebreaker over Ohio State, giving them room for error should they slip up in one of their three remaining games.
The Ducks offense have thrived with moving the ball down the field as they currently rank top-50 in Off Success Rate, Finishing Drives, and Havoc Allowed. Heisman Trophy contender Dillon Gabriel has been surgical through the air, leading the Ducks to top-25 marks in Pass Success Rate and PPA. Oregon’s defense is still a cause for concern as they rank near dead last in Def Finishing Drives and Explosiveness, making it worth monitoring to see if they can round back into form before the Big Ten Conference Championship.

While Ohio State’s win over Penn State was massive, the Buckeyes are not out of the woods just yet as a matchup against Indiana later in the year looms large. With the Hoosiers still undefeated in conference play, it’s assumed the winner between the two will face off against the Oregon Ducks in the Big Ten Conference Championship barring a catastrophic upset.
Should the Buckeyes want to thwart the Hoosiers and move on to the conference championship, then their offense will need to round back into form after two lackluster performances. Fortunately for Ohio State, they have shown they can play at a high level as their offense currently ranks top-50 in Off Success Rate, Finishing Drives, Explosiveness, and Havoc Allowed. Factor in their defense playing as one of the best units in the league and the Buckeyes are still very much a National Championship contender.

Speaking of Indiana, they continue to climb up the overall standings after their latest 47-10 win against the Michigan State Spartans. Even while dealing with an injury to his throwing hand, Kurtis Rourke still managed to exploit the gaps in the Spartans' coverage by finishing the contest throwing for 263 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Every bit of his production will be needed against the Buckeyes as their defense continues to rank near the top of the board in Def Success Rate, Explosiveness, Finishing Drives, and Havoc. That creates an exciting matchup when Indiana’s offense takes the field as their pass attack currently ranks first overall in Pass Success Rate and PPA. Should Indiana manage to handle the Buckeyes in convincing fashion, then look to hedge your Oregon position on the Hoosiers should they get repriced at a favorable number.

While Penn State is still alive for the playoffs, their chances of playing in the Big Ten Conference Championship are on life support after their loss to Ohio State. The Nittany Lions had multiple goal line opportunities to stay within the Buckeyes scoring pace, but failed to convert on two separate occasions.
Don’t let their shortcomings in the red zone fool you, the Nittany Lions offense is still one of the best units in the nation as they rank above league average in Off Success Rate, Explosiveness, Havoc Allowed, and Finishing Drives. While their offense has thrived, their defense has still struggled to recapture last year’s success as that side of the ball currently ranks in the bottom half of the board in Def Explosiveness. Should Penn State want to make a run in the playoffs, then their defense has to play at a higher level.

After an embarrassing loss to the lowly Michigan State Spartans, Iowa bounced back in a big way with two dominant wins over Northwestern and Wisconsin. Unfortunately, their loss to Michigan State practically sealed their fate in regard to making it to the conference championship, especially with Ohio State holding the tiebreaker over them from their win earlier in the year.
Fortunately for Iowa, their future looks bright as their offense finally started to show signs of improvement after a personnel change. Normally a unit that ranks near dead last across the board, Iowa heads into week 11 ranked 41st in Off Success Rate and 39th in Havoc Allowed. Should they continue to improve on that side of the ball while maintaining elite defensive metrics, then Iowa may be a contender for the Big Ten Conference Championship sooner rather than later.

While Minnesota still technically has a path to the Big Ten Conference Championship, their chances are practically slim to none as their current listed odds imply. At 4-2 in conference play, Minnesota would need chaos to happen at the top of the conference standings while they win out against Rutgers, Penn State, and Wisconsin.
Easier said than done when their offense continues to struggle with playing at a competitive level, entering week 11 ranked well below league average in Off Explosiveness, Finishing Drives, and Havoc Allowed. Their defense does excel in the same previously mentioned metrics, yet that is hardly enough to compete with the upper echelon of the conference.

With an uptick in gambling-related violations, an increase in safety protocols have started to sweep the nation.
