What’s Going To Happen
As it turns out, after all of the fake outrage over the Big Ten changing the rules to get Ohio State into the championship – even though it was the league’s only unbeaten team and beat Indiana – the Hoosiers wouldn’t have been able to play in this anyway.
Northwestern will be plucky.
Ohio State will score fast, but it won’t be enough to put the game out of reach right out of the gate. The Wildcats will hang around enough to make it interesting, and then Justin Fields will take over.
The Buckeye running game will be good enough to be a bother, and Fields will connect on two big home runs to put it out of reach. Northwestern won’t have the ability to come back, the charged up Ohio State defense will dominate the last ten minutes, and the Big Ten will have either the No. 2 or 3 spot in the College Football Playoff locked up.
