Big Ten Fans on Edge: Potential Historic Matchup Between Ohio State and IndianaCollege football fans are abuzz over a potential historic showdown in the Big Ten. If the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes and the second-ranked Indiana Hoosiers both win their rivalry games, theyll face off in the Big Ten championship with undefeated records, a first since the conference started playing a championship game in 2011.The stakes are high, especially with the Heisman Trophy race in full swing. Ohio States quarterback, Julian Sayin, and Indianas Fernando Mendoza could potentially decide the award on the field. Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love is also a contender, but without a conference championship game, his final chance to impress voters is this week.Meanwhile, several Big Ten teams have already secured bowl eligibility, including Oregon, Michigan, and Southern California. The winner of the game between Penn State and Rutgers will also join them. On the coaching front, some hot seats have cooled, with Wisconsin keeping Luke Fickell and Maryland standing behind Mike Locksley.The biggest remaining question mark for coaches is Jonathan Smith at Michigan State, who is facing a second challenging season. Looking to the future, Oregon currently holds the top-ranked 2026 recruiting class in the Big Ten, ahead of both Ohio State and Michigan.
