The B1G Championship Game is quickly approaching!
The regular season in the conference has come and gone. It turned into quite an interesting and tightly-contested year on both sides of the conference.
In the B1G East, Ohio State officially wrapped up the division with a Week 13 win over Penn State. The Buckeyes took on all challengers and finished the year 12-0. Ryan Day’s squad has scored at least 28 points in every game and has won every game by at least 11 points.
In the B1G West, it took the season finale to decide the division between Wisconsin and Minnesota. Though P.J. Fleck and the Gophers were a great story, the Badgers dominated to grab Paul Bunyan’s Axe and a trip to Indianapolis. Wisconsin does have two losses on the season: at Illinois and at Ohio State on Oct. 26.

Though Ohio State won that game 38-7, it’s time to throw out the records and prior results to decide the conference. As we get set for a week of preparation, here is how ESPN’s FPI is predicting the B1G Championship Game in Indy:
- Ohio State (81.6%) vs Wisconsin (18.4%)
That kickoff is set for Saturday at 8 pm EST on FOX.
