B1G Championship: #6 Ohio State (8-1, 12-1) vs. #21 Northwestern (8-1, 8-5)

8 pm Saturday in Indianapolis.  Since the Big 12 and SEC championships games should be over by the time this kicks the Bucks should have a pretty clear picture by the time the game starts.  Northwestern has the ability to really muck up OSU's passing, and this might be a pretty good game.

Northwestern really ramps up their game when it counts.

NU doesn't make mistakes. They just play their game and don't stop. They have a pretty good defense and an efficient offense. This will be very interesting, I think.

I see OSU winning by a margin where the game is never really in doubt.    NW will score points and I'd expect them to make plays on the ground, but I can't see them slowing down OSU's offense.

Pat Fitzgerald could suit up and sneak onto the field, like John Heisman used to do.

If the OSU team that just throttled Michigan shows up, yeah, it's gonna be tough for NU to match up.

I think it possible that OSU could float into Indy on a "cloud 9" and not really think this will be much of a game.  It's Northwestern, after all.  OSU can beat them with a half hearted effort by the scout team on a bad day, no problem.  Write it down, OSU blows them out easily.

Except ....

This is OSU's last audition for the playoffs....  They'll want to make a statement.

Ohio State wins by a couple of scores, but doesn't impress anyone in the process. Northwestern is reasonably efficient at what it does, but it doesn't do it well enough to keep up with OSU's athletes.

And OSU won't be excited enough about playing Northwestern to put in as much effort as last week. But this won't be Purdue v.2 (or even Maryland).

I have rea
 I have a red a couple of times that Northwestern‘s record over the last 16 conference games is 15 and one. Think about that. OSU and UM are both 14-2.  
NW is smart, physical, versatile and strong on defense with a Sunday QB.
You bet they watched a LOT of film from this weekend and beyond.
They are give OSU all, or more then they can handle by turning it into their kind of game.

Ohio State can just show up, let them know "Hey, we have far more talent than you, see this fancy helmet?", and Northwestern will basically give up and quit before the kickoff.

heh... I think we all know that won't happen.   But I do think OSU will be playing for that #4 spot in the playoffs
