The games worth caring about
#1 Ohio Stateat#8 Texas
The board reads Ohio State No. 1 to Texas No. 8, a 13.7-point gap in team strength. Ohio State at 63% is the pick, but this is the game the week is measured by: 10-2 against 8-4.
What could flip itThe market has Texas by 1.5 — if the books are right, this call goes down with it.

Indiana by 1
prob
A coin flip on the number. Indiana is nominally ahead, but nothing here separates them.
- Texas has been the better team — clearly, but not comfortably.
- Verdict has them all but stacked on top of each other — Texas No. 8, Indiana No. 10. This is the game that separates them.
- Across a full year Verdict expects Indiana to finish 9-3 and Texas 8-4 — neither one of these teams is here by accident.
- Indiana sleeps at home and hears its own crowd all afternoon. In a game this close, that is not nothing.
Run the whole week.
