It goes without saying that a lot is at stake in Indianapolis Saturday night.
The No. 1 ranked Buckeyes head into the B1G Championship riding an undefeated season with their sights set on even bigger goals. Many analysts are projecting Ohio State to be in the College Football Playoff regardless of what happens, but don’t expect Ryan Day’s squad to take it easy this weekend.
On the other side of the ball, Wisconsin enters with its CFP hopes already put to bed. Unfortunately, the upset loss to Illinois did the Badgers in. Otherwise, Saturday’s rematch with Ohio State would likely be for a shot to make the final four.

On Saturday morning, Paul Finebaum gave his pick for the showdown at the end of ESPN’s SportsCenter. Finebaum gave credit to both teams, but he sees the Buckeyes capping an undefeated season heading into the Playoff:
“This will be a little closer. These are two really good teams in a very strong league, but I like Ohio State to finish the season undefeated,” said Finebaum.
He’s far from alone with his pick with most analysts siding with the Buckeyes. Can Wisconsin pull off an upset, or will Ohio State make it 13-0?
