COLUMBUS, Ohio – The college football world shifts its focus to a top-five matchup Saturday in the Big Ten.

No. 2 Ohio State hosts No. 5 Indiana at noon ET at Ohio Stadium, a game that will be instrumental in deciding the Big Ten title game and College Football playoff seeding. Oregon has already clinched a spot in the Big Ten championship, and the winner of Indiana-Ohio State is in the driver’s seat to face the Ducks, barring an upset in the final regular season game.

ESPN’s College GameDay and FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff shows will both be in Columbus to preview a matchup that some believe is the biggest game in Indiana football history. In its first season under coach Curt Cignetti, Indiana has won 10 games for the first time in program history.

On the other side, Ohio State’s lone blemish is a 32-31 loss at No. 1 Oregon. Since then, they’ve rattled off four straight wins, including two by 24-plus points most recently and a 20-13 win at No. 4 Penn State. Ohio State coach Ryan Day won the Big Ten title his first two seasons, 2019 and 2020, but he fell short the following three.

This heavyweight matchup features and Indiana team that ranks second nationally in scoring offense (43.9) and seventh in scoring defense (13.8). Ohio State is tied for the fewest points allowed per game in the country (10.3) and its offense ranks 12th in scoring (38.7).
