Ohio State would pay out nearly 2/1 odds to win the Big 10 Championship and $450 to $600 for every $100 bet to win the College Football Championship.
Wisconsin, having lost their first game in Week 8, would pay $800 to $1200 for every $100 bet to win the Big 10.
James McCourt kicked a 39-yard field goal as time expired and Illinois pulled off the biggest upset of the college football season, knocking off No. 6 Wisconsin 24-23 on Saturday.
Heather Dinich ESPN Senior Writer:
Wisconsin's loss at Illinois was devastating to the Badgers and the entire Big Ten, which could have made a case for two CFP teams if the Badgers' only loss had been to Ohio State. Undefeated Minnesota now leads the West Division, and the Buckeyes are again shouldering the league's CFP hopes.
According to the Allstate Playoff Predictor, Ohio State leads all teams with a 78% chance to make the playoff, and the Big Ten still has a 17.1% chance to get two teams in -- second to the SEC (43.6%). Penn State has a 28% chance to reach the CFP, currently the sixth-highest in the FBS. The numbers are fluid, as Penn State and Ohio State still have to play each other.
Justin Fields threw for four touchdowns, J.K. Dobbins rushed for 121 yards and No. 4 Ohio State pounded Northwestern 52-3 on Friday night.
The Buckeyes edged past Clemson to No. 3 in The Associated Press college football poll and Wisconsin dropped to 13th after being upset ahead of its showdown with the Buckeyes.
