I'm surprised that Maryland is #1 and that MSU and Indiana are so high. Surprised OSU is so low.
Agree Indiana appears to be high.
sure leapt up the charts...oh, what a few 5-star recruits has done for Pur-don't.
Purdue will still fall flat on its face because it's Purdue.

Speaking of what a few 5 stars can do for you look at Cal at 20/1.
Speaking of five star...
MGoAlexander, you are making a fool out of yourself, but carry on. And you really need to stop upvoting yourself just to get the 2 extra points, pookie!
MGoAlexander is a ...
+1!
Newbie here...I come in peace - and with free beer.
How exactly do you up vote a post? Does hitting the top button give someone an extra point? All it seems to do for me is take me to the top of the post (I realize how obvious that sounds).
Feel free to disregard. I did some digging and found the page that explains the posting guidelines. Slowly, but surely, the dim-witted are discovering the operational levers.
at Cal bringing up their ranking makes a bit more sense to me with Cuonzo...despite his slightly above-average record - he's apparently well respected and bringing that same respect to Cal's program.
I dunno man. lol
Hard to set odds for OSU when only one likely starter has played a single minute for the Buckeyes. There will be growing pains, and currently, a lot of questions

You are probably the only person outside of OSU fandom who thinks they are too low to win the title.
Don't be. OSU had a lot of guys graduate, many of whom were, in the grand scheme of things, not that good. D'Angelo Russell is gone, and he was the only guy on their team who was an all around threat last year.
Matta has recruited well for this upcoming season, but he's going to need one hell of a youth movement to push for a conference title or anything close to a Final Four. He had a boatload of talent on that team last year and did next to nothing with it.

No way Maryland can be that high with their coach's' in game ability(or lack thereof)
Maryland was probably the favorite to win the Big Ten already with Melo Trimble coming back and landing Diamond Stone, and then they landed Rasheed Sulaimon from Duke.
I understand Wisconsin has Bo Ryan and will always compete, but 50/1 seems high for Wisconsin. They have little outside Hayes this year.
Cal has some pretty good odds there. I have to imagine if we got Brown we'd be higher than 20/1, or if they got Swanigan they'd be around 10/1.
We are going to be so good next year.

Yup. This team should be nasty, assuming all are healthy. No reason we should not be favored to win the conference.
Favored might be overdoing it (Maryland's going to be awfully good) - but we should finish in the top 3-4 in the league.
Favored? I don't know about that. I think that title belongs to Maryland right now.
But as you said, if everyone stays healthy, Michigan could definitely challenge for the conference title. I just don't think they're a favorite right now.

These odds are so far off, if you bet on every team to not win with these odds, you would make a huge profit.
Not really. Say you bet $100 on each of these teams not to win, given the reverse odds (1/9 for Maryland, 1/10 for Duke, etc.). You'd make about $11 for Maryland losing, $10 for Duke losing, down to $1 for the teams in the Auburn/Cincy/Dayton bunch. But then you'd lose $100 for whichever team did win it all. I didn't do the math but you'd just make a modest profit.
I was curious so I just added up eaxh teams % according to these odds; the total comes out to 140.29%. That is well over the 100% it should be, I think betting on them all would certainly make a profit and depending on who wins make a big profit.
Yeah, you can't do that. You should try out bookie as a profession
The team will have subs and it will be crazy!
+1!
Was that last year or the saying 3 years ago. I got it! Sorry I am a Debbie downer today. Please yell at me. We need subs! go blue!!!!!
It's hard to speak to the odds this far out, and I can't say I agree with all of them if it were me making the prediction, but if I were to make a very preliminary stab at the order of finish in the conference, then the order of Big Ten teams above actually would make a lot of sense to me. I see Michigan - and take my "no data" prediction for what it is worth - in about that spot in the conference standings (hopefully higher, of course - we are going to be pretty damn good, I think).
That, and I see Villanova at 25/1 and the part of me still bitter about my ESPN bracket wants to ask, "Really? That high, eh?"
Seems low.
Makes sense. There's a ton of depth and experience on the team right now.
If everyone stays healthy, and the guys go through the expected Camp Sanderson jump, they could push for a conference title and a solid tournament run.

Ohio has nothing really besides a few talented untested freshmen.
I don't think it's unrealistic that were in the top 3 with msu and maryland. I'll believe it when I see it that Indiana or purdue will be good.
I think Villanova is going all the way......Not!
Their coach seems to stink it up every year in the tournament.
Indiana entirely to high.
So with basketball at 33/1 and football at 40/1...
If you were given $100 and had to put it on one or the other(can't split it, can't do anything else with it), which do you bet on?
Fewer variables. More Harbaugh.
Providence at 100/1 with the best point guard in the nation is attractive.
lost all credibility by having IU at 25-1. I doubt I'd even waste a dime on them even at 250-1
Cal at 20-1. If they can get a 1 or 2 seed out west the west is usually the easiest path to the final 4.
I'll put five hundred on that.
