Week 7 activity and the next matchup

Polymarket’s college football board had 22 live markets with $104.1K in combined trading volume at the Oct 14, 2026, 8:54 AM ET snapshot. Kennesaw State vs. Missouri State was the next scheduled matchup today.

According to Polymarket, Colorado State vs. Texas State, Georgia State vs. James Madison and Ohio State vs. Indiana were the most-traded college football matchups. The supplied material does not give individual trading volumes for those markets or a price for Ohio State vs. Indiana.

Among the leading matchups by trading activity, Colorado State was priced at 17¢ against Texas State, despite both teams having 2-3 records. Georgia State, at 4-1, stood at 20¢ against 6-0 James Madison.

Elsewhere on the displayed schedule for Wednesday, October 14, Appalachian State, at 3-2, was priced at 53¢ against 2-4 Coastal Carolina. Pittsburgh, at 5-1, was listed at 69¢ against 2-3 Boston College, while 1-5 Ball State stood at 31¢ against 2-4 Bowling Green.

The Week 7 page also displayed Games, Props and Combos categories. The supplied snapshot contains no price history, so it does not establish whether the listed contracts had risen or fallen before publication.

What it means for prediction markets

  • The next scheduled focus is Kennesaw State vs. Missouri State. Kennesaw State’s displayed price was 59¢, with both teams at 1-4.
  • Trading interest is not the same as a high displayed price. Colorado State and Georgia State featured among the most-traded matchups while their contracts were listed at 17¢ and 20¢, respectively.
  • The aggregate volume has limits as a market-depth measure. The $104.1K total does not show how activity was distributed across all 22 markets; individual volumes and price histories were not supplied.

Kalshi congressional markets pass 137.3M contracts traded, with 3.0M changing hands in 24 hours

Quiet quarter-hour — no significant new platform headline in the last 15 minutes, so this fresh volume snapshot leads, in a volume/metrics category different from the…

Congressional trading snapshot

Kalshi’s congressional markets reached 137.3M contracts traded, with 3.0M changing hands over 24 hours, according to the supplied headline snapshot published Oct 14, 2026 · 8:54 AM ET. The accompanying summary says there had been no significant new platform headline in the preceding 15 minutes.

A narrower listing on predictionmarketspicks.com, covering the 2026 midterms’ balance of power in Congress, reports 39125k contracts traded and 29649k open. The supplied material does not explain how that listing relates to the larger congressional-market total.

Prices and open interest

According to predictionmarketspicks.com, the excerpt includes D-House, R-Senate; Republicans sweep; and R-House, D-Senate outcomes. It displays four price/open-interest pairs: 61 ¢ with OI 2929k; 30 ¢ with OI 2205k; 11 ¢ with OI 15124k; and 1 ¢ with OI 9391k.

The extracted listing does not unambiguously connect every price to an outcome, so it cannot support a reliable ranking of those scenarios. Nor does it provide an earlier observation against which to measure price changes or a shift in open interest.

What it means for prediction markets

  • The 137.3M cumulative total and 3.0M in 24 hours describe trading activity, not the direction of traders’ congressional expectations.
  • The 39125k contracts traded and 29649k open belong to the specific balance-of-power listing; they should not be treated as interchangeable with the broader headline figures.
  • Without clearly aligned outcome labels or historical comparisons, the excerpt does not establish which political scenario gained ground.
