One prediction market prices this story:

  • 3+ Big 12 teams — the market puts it at 15%, closing 7 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if three or more Big 12 teams qualify for the College Football Playoff during the 2026-27 college football season. It resolves to No if fewer than three Big 12 teams make the playoff. Readers often mistakenly think the deadline is the end of the regular season, but qualification depends on the final playoff selection process.
