Which Big Ten teams have the best shot at the conference championship in 2024?

 

We are past the midway point in the 2024 regular season, and the playoff race is starting to take shape in front of us. More than that, though, we are starting to get a good idea who who has a chance to make it to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship Game at the start of December.

 

With five weeks left to go in the regular season, there are three teams in the conference with an undefeated record: No. 1 Oregon Ducks, No. 4 Penn State Nittany Lions, and No. 13 Indiana Hoosiers.

 

Those three teams, along with a handful of others, all have a good chance to make it to Indy and compete for an automatic spot in the College Football Playoff. Let’s look to the ESPN Football Power Index to see how the odds break down for each team in the conference to take home the league title this year.
