·49 min·2 clips

Collin Wilson calls Penn State's schedule "one of the biggest joke schedules I've ever seen" and says a 4-1 Big Ten title-game price is playable.

1. The VSiN College Football Betting Podcast previews the 2026 season with a way-too-early look at win totals and futures, anchored by Indiana's 100-1 to 200-1 national title run and Collin Wilson's power ratings. 2. Host Tim Murray is joined by Collin Wilson of the Action Network, whom Murray also calls a "phenomenal college baseball handicapper." 3. Murray's thesis is that with 7-1 prices on Indiana, Texas, Ohio State and Notre Dame at DraftKings, bettors must decide whether Indiana's 2025 run was "a blip" or a sign the expanded playoff and portal favor long shots. 4. In the SEC, Wilson makes Arkansas about 5.1 wins under new coach Ryan Silverfield, Ole Miss 7.2 wins after Trinidad Chambliss's return lifted offensive returning experience from about 57% to 75%, and Florida 7.5 wins under John Sumrall with Buster Faulkner as OC. 5. Wilson calls the 11.5-point LSU-Clemson line "wildly off," says his adjustments make it about five, and warns he would be wary of buying LSU futures despite Lane Kiffin's arrival. 6. He expects a "massive" drop at Vanderbilt after Diego Pavia, rating them 6.1 wins but playing down to five, and says his numbers rate Alabama so low that "all the trolls from Twitter" would respond if he said seven wins. 7. In the Big Ten, Wilson ranks Indiana a top-two team at 11.1 wins with 84% offensive and 66% defensive returning experience, and says the outlook hinges on whether Josh Hoover can follow Fernando Mendoza's path from Cal to the Heisman. 8. He considers Penn State under Matt Campbell a surprise team because of what he calls "one of the biggest joke schedules I've ever seen," and says 4-1 to reach the Big Ten championship game is playable. 9. Wilson also rates Michigan up under Kyle Whittingham and Jay Hill, docks Michigan State four points for returning experience, and expects UCLA at seven wins under Bob Chesney, with Miami at 10.6 wins as the ACC's top team. 10. Suited to college football bettors tracking early win totals and futures.
