US EditionOhio State and Indiana Could Give Big Ten Historic Title Game
If Ohio State and Indiana win their rivalry games, they would enter the Big Ten championship undefeated, a scenario not seen since the title game began in 2011.
- If both win this week, Ohio State Buckeyes and Indiana Hoosiers would enter the Big Ten title game unbeaten in Indianapolis, creating a rare season finale.
- Conference history suggests the Big Ten Conference has never sent two unbeaten teams to the 2011 Big Ten championship game, and only three times since the 1953 Michigan State arrival has this happened.
- The only comparable case came in 2009 when Sportradar reports only one FBS conference championship game featured two unbeaten teams, Alabama and Florida, before the playoff era.
- The College Football Playoff picture would be lower if both teams reach Indy unbeaten, though an Ohio State-Indiana title game could decide the Heisman between Julian Sayin, Ohio State quarterback, and Fernando Mendoza, Indiana quarterback.
- Historical precedents include 2002 when Ohio State Buckeyes and Iowa Hawkeyes went 8-0 in league play, and the 1973 Michigan-Ohio State season tie, which complicated postseason selections.
