US EditionBIG TEN NOTEBOOK Nation’s Last Two Undefeated Teams Battle in Historic Conference Championship Matchup
Both teams enter the Big Ten Championship undefeated at 12-0, with Indiana scoring over 44 points per game and Ohio State allowing just 7.8 points defensively, impacting College Football Playoff seeding.
- This Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium, the nation's last unbeaten teams—Ohio State and Indiana —face off for the Big Ten crown during conference championship week.
- By finishing the regular season unbeaten, both teams earned this title-game berth, with Indiana's surge tied to Fernando Mendoza, quarterback, and Ohio State boosted by Julian Sayin, quarterback.
- On the defensive side, Ohio State and Indiana rank among the nation's stingiest teams, with Indiana allowing 10.9 points per game and Louis Moore totaling five interceptions this year.
- Playoff permutations mean the title game's outcome will shift bye and hosting scenarios for teams like Oregon, while Ohio State is most likely looking at a first-round bye entering the title game.
- Historically, this marks a rare rematch pattern not seen since the 2011 inaugural Big Ten championship, with Indiana seeking its first title game appearance since last winning in 1967 and last outright in 1945.
