SEC and Big Ten Championship Odds 2026: Georgia and Indiana Are the Favorites
Georgia is the favorite to win the SEC championship at -180 to -200 across four sportsbooks, and Indiana leads the Big Ten championship odds at -100 to -115, as of Sunday night, November 8, 2026. Kalshi and Polymarket price both favorites lower. Both title games are Saturday, December 5, 2026.
The SEC title game is at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta at 4:00 PM ET on ABC. The Big Ten title game is at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis at 8:00 PM ET on FOX. Each conference sends its top two teams by conference record, so the three November weekends below decide both matchups.
SEC championship odds 2026

The SEC race: who can still reach Atlanta
Alabama and Kentucky are both 5-2 in the SEC, one game behind Georgia. Alabama's price (+270 to +300) is far shorter than Kentucky's (+4000 to +5500) because the Crimson Tide beat Georgia head-to-head on October 10, 20-17, and Kentucky lost 34-6 at Tennessee on November 7.
Texas and Tennessee are 4-2 and need help. Texas plays at LSU on November 14 at 7:30 PM ET, then Arkansas and a Friday trip to Texas A&M. Tennessee visits Texas A&M on November 14, then hosts LSU.
| Team (conf.) | Nov. 13 or 14 | Nov. 20 or 21 | Nov. 27 or 28 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Georgia (6-1) | vs Missouri, 3:30 PM ET | at South Carolina | vs Georgia Tech (non-conference) |
| Alabama (5-2) | at Vanderbilt, 12:45 PM ET | vs Chattanooga (non-conference) | vs Auburn |
| Kentucky (5-2) | vs Florida, 6:15 PM ET | at Missouri | vs Louisville (non-conference) |
| Texas (4-2) | at LSU, 7:30 PM ET | vs Arkansas | at Texas A&M, Friday Nov. 27 |
| Tennessee (4-2) | at Texas A&M, 3:00 PM ET | vs LSU | at Vanderbilt |
Georgia's last two conference games are Missouri at home and South Carolina on the road. A Georgia loss in either opens the door for Alabama, which has the tiebreaker, and for Kentucky if the Wildcats win out. Full lines for Saturday's games are in our Week 11 preview.
Big Ten championship odds 2026
Indiana is the Big Ten favorite at -100 to -115 even though UCLA is the conference's only unbeaten team at 6-0. The Hoosiers are 5-1 and host USC on November 14, then finish at Washington and home against Purdue. UCLA hosts Illinois on Friday, November 13, then plays at Michigan and hosts USC on November 28.
| Team | Conf. | Overall | Best price | Range (4 books) | Implied | Kalshi | Polymarket |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indiana | 5-1 | 8-1 | +100 | -100 to -115 | 50.0% | 42 to 43¢ | 43.5¢ |
| UCLA | 6-0 | 9-0 | +300 | +190 to +300 | 25.0% | 27 to 28¢ | 27.9¢ |
| Oregon | 4-2 | 6-3 | +750 | +650 to +750 | 11.8% | 11 to 14¢ | 12.0¢ |
| USC | 4-2 | 7-2 | +1200 | +800 to +1200 | 7.7% | 5 to 6¢ | 5.3¢ |
| Ohio State | 4-2 | 6-3 | +1600 | +1000 to +1600 | 5.9% | 4 to 5¢ | 6.1¢ |
| Iowa | 4-2 | 7-2 | +5000 | +3500 to +5000 | 2.0% | 2 to 5¢ | 3.8¢ |
| Wisconsin | 4-2 | 6-3 | +4500 | +3500 to +4500 | 2.2% | under 2¢ | 1.4¢ |
| Illinois | 4-2 | 6-3 | +15000 | +12500 to +15000 | 0.7% | under 2¢ | 1.2¢ |
Caesars is the outlier on UCLA at +190; bet365 and BetMGM have the Bruins at +270 and +300. Polymarket has Indiana at 43.5 cents and UCLA at 27.9 cents, within a cent of Kalshi on both.
The Big Ten race: six teams at 4-2
Oregon, USC, Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois are all 4-2 in conference play, two games behind UCLA and one behind Indiana. Only one of them can realistically pass Indiana, and it would take an Indiana loss plus a clean finish. Oregon (+650 to +750) is the market's pick of that group after its 41-28 win at Ohio State.
| Team (conf.) | Nov. 13 or 14 | Nov. 20 or 21 | Nov. 27 or 28 |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCLA (6-0) | vs Illinois, Friday 9:00 PM ET | at Michigan | vs USC |
| Indiana (5-1) | vs USC, 3:30 PM ET | at Washington | vs Purdue |
| Oregon (4-2) | vs Michigan, 3:30 PM ET | at Michigan State, Friday 8:00 PM ET | vs Washington |
| USC (4-2) | at Indiana, 3:30 PM ET | vs Maryland | at UCLA |
| Ohio State (4-2) | vs Northwestern, 12:00 PM ET | at Nebraska | vs Michigan, 12:00 PM ET |
| Iowa (4-2) | vs Purdue, 7:30 PM ET | at Illinois | vs Nebraska, Friday Nov. 27, 12:00 PM ET |
The schedule does the sorting: USC plays at Indiana on November 14 and at UCLA on November 28, so the Trojans face both leaders. Ohio State and Michigan close the regular season at noon on November 28.
