Big Ten Playoff Predictions 2026: Indiana and UCLA In, Ohio State Out?

Will Ohio State miss the College Football Playoff without Julian Sayin? PFN's Big Ten playoff predictions put the Buckeyes in danger despite their projected 65% playoff probability. Indiana has survived a string of close games and looks like the conference's safest contender. Undefeated UCLA is leaning on its dominant defense and backup quarterback, but its remaining schedule could threaten an at-large bid. Iowa needs a 10-2 finish to enter the conversation, while USC faces a demanding stretch against Indiana, Maryland and UCLA that could decide Lincoln Riley's future. Ohio State must navigate Oregon, Northwestern, Nebraska and Michigan without another loss. The hosts ultimately pick Indiana and UCLA as the Big Ten's only playoff teams.
