ESPN analyst predicts B1G Championship Game matchup, title winner
Published:
The final predictions are filing in.
This week, ESPN college football reporter and analyst Mark Schlabach made his final B1G projections for the 2021 season, including the conference title game matchup and winner. It’s not much different than what we’ve seen.
Schlabach has Ohio State winning the B1G East and Wisconsin once again sitting atop the B1G West. In the B1G Championship Game, the ESPN analyst believes the Buckeyes claim a fifth-straight conference title.
Ohio State and Wisconsin have met in the B1G Championship Game three times since the league’s expansion to 14 teams in 2014. The Buckeyes have won all three contests.
Both Ohio State and Wisconsin have played in six conference title games since its inauguration in 2011. The Badgers’ last victory in Indianapolis came in 2012, a 70-31 win over Nebraska.
The Buckeyes have won the last four B1G titles and five total conference championship games.
