In just a little under two weeks, there will be a rematch on the football field between the teams from last year's Big Ten Championship game and the past two national champions. Ohio State and Indiana will face off in an important game that will go a long way toward determining who plays in this year's conference championship. And now we know for certain when the game will take place. As was expected, the Buckeyes and Hoosiers will be the marquee game on Fox on Oct. 17 and will be a Big Noon Kickoff.
In what used to be a one-sided affair, Ohio State has found an arch-nemesis in Indiana since the Curt Cignetti era began. The program that got bullied is the one doing the bullying for the most part, and Cignetti has his team believing they can play
with anyone in the country, including the Buckeyes. The Hoosiers have proven it as well. The team is riding a 21-game winning streak, which is the longest current streak in the NCAA.
