Of course there are several factors against Purdue this year:

• Purdue hasn't won an outright Big Ten championship since 1929
• Purdue is 2-22 against the Big Ten under Darrell Hazell
• Purdue would still have to beat Ohio State, Michigan, or Michigan State in the title game.
  

Purdue at least has the "weaker" division to play against and the West favorite comes to West Lafayette! We don't have the worst odds out there.

• Kansas is 250/1 to win the Big 12.
  
• The Cleveland Browns are a 200/1 shot to win the Super Bowl.
• The Braves are a 2000/1 shot to win the 2016 World Series.
