2010 College Football Predictions Odds to Win Big 10: Ohio State has won three of the last four Big 10 football titles, and most odds makers expect the Buckeyes dominance to continue this season. Jim Tressel has a load of returning talent from last year's 11-2 squad and the only real challenger to the Buckeyes throne appears to be the Iowa Hawkeyes. 2010 College Football Predictions at online bookmaker Bodog.com have Ohio State listed at 2 to 5 betting odds to retain its Big 10 championship.
Ohio State Buckeyes (2/5): Ohio State welcomes back 15 starters and 48 lettermen to Columbus this year, which should 
translate into a sixth consecutive double digit win season. Among the returnees are Heisman candidate Terrelle Pryor and first team All Big 10 linebacker Ross Homan. Pryor, who threw for 2094 yards and 18 touchdowns and led the team in rushing with a total of 779 yards, will lead an offense that averaged 29 points and 369 yards per game a season ago.
Homan, who recorded 108 tackles, two sacks, and five interceptions, along with defensive end Cameron Heyward (46 tackles, 6.5 sacks), will captain a defense that should be every bit the equal of last year's unit, which ranked fifth nationally in points per game allowed (12.5).
Iowa Hawkeyes (4/1): Head Coach Kirk Ferentz guided the Hawkeyes to an 11-2 record and Orange Bowl victory last season. Fourteen starters and 48 lettermen from that impressive team are back, giving Iowa the best shot a knocking off the Buckeyes. Ohio State narrowly defeated the Hawkeyes in Columbus last season with a 24-27 OT victory. This year's matchup takes place November 20th in Iowa City, where Ferentz' bunch has won 16 of its last 20 home finales.
