3 prediction markets price this story:

  • BYU — the market puts it at 46%, closing 10 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if BYU qualifies for the 2026 College Football Big 12 Championship Game. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake this outcome as depending on the team's overall playoff ranking rather than their specific qualification for the conference championship game.
  • BYU — the market puts it at 15%, with $5k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if BYU wins the 2026 College Football Big 12 Championship Game. It resolves to No if they do not win that specific title game. Readers often mistake this for a prediction about any single regular-season game, such as the Notre Dame matchup mentioned in the linked story.
  • BYU — the market puts it at 35%, with $42 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 29 Dec 2026. The outcome is Yes if BYU qualifies for the College Football Playoffs and No otherwise. Readers often mistake a high ranking or a bye week for playoff qualification. The official resolution depends solely on making the playoff field, not on regular season performance.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
