CBS: Odds to win the 2018 Big Ten Championship (Minnesota: +5,000)

per CBS:

The Big Ten missed out on the College Football Playoff for the first time last season as its conference champion, Ohio State, was passed over due to having two losses. The Big Ten is hoping that omission is an outlier and that it can return to the CFP in 2019, but which one of its teams will have the best chance to represent it?

According to the odds from BetOnline.ag, Ohio State is the clear favorite to win the Big Ten, followed by Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan. But is Ohio State worth betting money on? Let's break it all down.

Minnesota
+5000

Go Gophers!!

+5000????!? Yeah...it's a major longshot. A $10 bet would net you $500.

Anybody going to post Lloyd Christmas?

I might throw a few bucks at that proposition if we had legalized gambling in MN. still better odds than winning the lottery.

Unfortunately, considering how f'ed up the MN State Legislature is, I suspect the odds of them passing a legalized gambling bill in the near future are a LOT higher than the odds of the Gophers winning a conference title.
