Ohio State and Indiana Could Give Big Ten a 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 meet unbeaten in the Big Ten title game in Indianapolis, creating a rare season finale.
- Conference history suggests the Big Ten Conference has never sent two unbeaten teams into the 2011 Big Ten championship game and only three times since the 1953 Michigan State arrival finished with more than one unbeaten team.
- National precedent is limited to one FBS championship game featuring unbeaten teams, the 2009 SEC championship when Alabama beat Florida 32-13 before the playoff era.
- The College Football Playoff picture would be lower if both teams reach Indy unbeaten, though the Ohio State-Indiana title game could act as a de facto Heisman decider between Julian Sayin, Ohio State quarterback, and Fernando Mendoza, Indiana quarterback.
- Historical precedents include 2002 when Ohio State Buckeyes and Iowa Hawkeyes both went 8-0 in league play, and the 1973 Michigan-Ohio State season ended in a tie that complicated postseason choices.
