FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff is on the move once again, and the Week 13 show will air from a recurring Big Ten location.

The Saturday morning pre-game show confirmed early in Week 12 that they will return to Columbus for the matchup between Indiana and Ohio State. It was previously announced that the major matchup would be aired in FOX’s noon time slot, so it is not surprising to see Big Noon Kickoff follow suit.

Indiana is idle this week while Ohio State is a major favorite against Northwestern in Wrigley Field. As long as the Buckeyes avoid the upset, next week should be a top-5 showdown between the two programs.

Beyond the national picture, that game will go a long way toward determining the race to Indianapolis for the B1G Championship Game. Oregon is closing in on securing its spot in the title game but the 2nd spot will be in play next Saturday.

A win by Ohio State would put the Buckeyes in the driver’s seat heading into the season finale against Michigan with a head-to-head tie-breaker against Indiana and Penn State. However, the Hoosiers could move onto the doorstep of Indy with a win on the road.

As for the visit to Columbus, next Saturday will be Ohio State’s 3rd time hosting Big Noon Kickoff, and the show will return in Week 14 for The Game vs. Michigan. Overall, the Buckeyes will make 5 appearances on Big Noon Kickoff for the 2024 season.
