It’s a rare occasion in college football when the top two ranked teams clash for a conference title. Today, the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes will face off against the No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers in the Big Ten Championship.
This matchup marks only the third time since conference championship games were introduced that the top two teams are meeting. The last such occurrence was during the 2008-2009 season. Ohio State, the reigning national champion, aims to capture its first conference championship since 2020. Remarkably, they claimed the title for four straight seasons starting in 2017.
In contrast, Indiana has won two Big Ten titles, though the last one was way back in 1967.
Both teams come into this championship with perfect records of 12-0, and they’re crucial for advancing to the 12-team College Football Playoff, where they both have a solid shot at earning a first-round bye.
