3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Jeremiah Smith — the market puts it at 68%, with $267 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 7 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Jeremiah Smith finishes the 2026 Big Ten regular season with the most receiving yards among all conference players. It resolves to No if he does not achieve this top ranking. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking it applies to the entire college football season rather than just the Big Ten regular season.
  • Jeremiah Smith — the market puts it at 69%, closing 7 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Jeremiah Smith wins the AP College Football Player of the Year award for the 2026 college football season. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of the regular season instead of the date the AP announces its final awards.
  • Will Jeremiah Smith win the 2026 Heisman Trophy? — the market puts it at 50%, with $689 traded in the last 24 hours. The Yes outcome occurs if Jeremiah Smith is officially named the winner of the 2026 Heisman Trophy. The No outcome applies if any other player wins or if no winner is announced by December 26, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Readers often mistake the announcement date for the deadline, but the market closes based on the specific cutoff time after the ceremony.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
