With the Ohio State Buckeyes claiming the national championship last season, a lot of eyes in the college football world are now on the Big Ten Conference. Laughed at for the better portion of the last decade, the Buckeyes showed that the Big Ten may be a conference to be reckoned with once again.

But, can anyone knock the champs from the throne? If you believe so, would you be willing to bet on that?

Well, Sportsbook has released the preseason odds for each college football conference heading into the 2015 season, and of course the Buckeyes are a pretty heavy favorite at 1-2. Of course, though, the Michigan State Spartans aren’t too far behind them, sitting at 13-4.

From there, the field gets pretty interesting. Here’s a look at the preseason betting odds for the Big Ten Conference:

Big Ten:

Ohio State1-2
Michigan State13-4
Wisconsin8-1
Michigan12-1
Nebraska12-1
Penn State15-1
Minnesota18-1
Iowa25-1
Rutgers40-1
Maryland50-1
Illinois60-1
Indiana60-1
Northwestern60-1
Purdue100-1

Wisconsin sitting there at 8-1 odds is interesting there, especially considering that there will be a lot of questions that need to be answered with new coach Paul Chryst at the helm now. They might not lose their philosophy, but do they have the players to get it done?
