Big Ten championship odds have two clear favorites entering Week 9

Heading into Week 9, there are a pair of overwhelming favorites to win the Big Ten championship game.

To no surprise, those are Ohio State and Indiana. The Buckeyes and Hoosiers met in a thrilling regular-season encounter that went OSU's way, so it would be interesting to see if history repeats itself.

That said, UCLA is the only remaining undefeated team in the conference, so where do they fit in?

The Wisconsin Badgers have emerged as a late dark horse, and with five games remaining, there's always the potential for a major shakeup.
