  • USC — the market puts it at 20%, closing 2 May 2027. The market resolves to Yes if USC wins the 2026-27 Division 1 Women's College Basketball National Championship. It resolves to No if they do not win that specific title. Readers often mistake the linked story about preseason rankings for the actual championship result.
  • UCLA — the market puts it at 1%, closing 15 Apr 2027. The outcome is Yes if the NCAA selects UCLA as a number one seed for the 2027 Women's College Basketball Tournament. The outcome is No if UCLA does not receive that specific seeding. Readers often mistake general tournament participation or high rankings for the official selection of a number one seed.
  • UCLA — the market puts it at 47%, closing 7 Feb 2027. The market resolves to Yes if UCLA ranks among the top four teams in the Big Ten at the end of the 2026 college football regular season. It resolves to No if the team finishes fifth or lower. Readers often mistake the resolution date, which depends on the final standings after the regular season concludes, not the outcome of any specific game.
