Indiana Faces Ohio State in Historic Test for Playoff Hopes

The undefeated Hoosiers take on the second-ranked Buckeyes in a game with major Big Ten and College Football Playoff implications.

Indiana, ranked No. 5, enters the matchup 10-0 for the first time in school history but has yet to face a ranked opponent this season.
Ohio State, ranked No. 2, is aiming to solidify its College Football Playoff position after a single-point loss to Oregon earlier in the season.
Indiana's first-year head coach Curt Cignetti has revitalized the program, signing a long-term extension after leading the team to its best season ever.
The Hoosiers boast a top-three national defense and a strong pass rush, but Ohio State's talent depth and experience present a significant challenge.
The outcome will have major playoff implications, with both teams vying for a spot in the Big Ten Championship and potentially the national title.
