The time has come to decide a B1G champion!
After a dramatic and impressive regular season, Northwestern and Ohio State will tangle in Indianapolis for the conference championship.
Pat Fitzgerald’s Wildcats enter as the B1G West champions following an 8-1 conference record. On the other side, Urban Meyer’s Buckeyes enter with an 11-1 overall record and 8-1 conference record.
When it comes to the action on the field, ESPN’s Football Power Index is not predicting it to be a close contest. The FPI is giving the Buckeyes an 84.2% chance to win the B1G Saturday evening.
Though given just a 15.8% chance to win the game, do not expect Fitzgerald’s squad to be intimidated in the contest. The Wildcats have been underdogs multiple times this season, seemingly thriving in the role.
