Kalshi traders price Texas at 53% over Ohio State in college football Week 2
Kalshi traders are pricing Texas at 53% to beat Ohio State in college football Week 2, according to a Kalshi news bulletin posted September 12. The same bulletin listed Oklahoma at 67% over Michigan and Alabama at 77% over Kentucky. A separate Kalshi bulletin that day gave Oklahoma at 65% over Michigan. The platform also posted on X that Texas has tied Notre Dame as the national championship favorite at 13%. Earlier, Kalshi posted on Facebook that Notre Dame stood at 12% to win the title.
These percentage posts are thin-surface snapshots, not deep markets that absorb serious size. A 53% Texas line offers minimal edge for buyers and scant premium for sellers against widely available sportsbook odds. Kalshi must convert September sports curiosity into sustained weekly engagement after novelty fades.
Novig's $125 million first-week pace and Polymarket's established pools are pulling sharp volume toward tighter markets elsewhere. Traders comparing fills across venues will route size to wherever depth and reliability exist. Kalshi must match order-book depth or lose traders to slippage at the moment it can least afford it.
This is the fifth Kalshi sports pricing post in under four days, joining earlier snapshots on the Rams, UNLV, Tennessee, and Ballon d'Or odds, as the platform accelerates its social-media push for NFL and college football season attention.
