Big Ten History: It's No. 1 vs. No. 2 for first time ever!!!!

Nov 30, 2025

The Big Ten Championship Game is in its 15th year, and on Saturday we get a first. We've never had a game where the No. 1 team in the country — the Ohio State Buckeyes — and the No. 2 team in all the land — the Indiana Hoosiers — squared off for the league title.

Ohio State and Indiana are both 12-0, and finished 9-0 in Big Ten play. They have been ranked 1-2 in all four College Football Playoff rankings so far, and they have been at the top of the Associated Press top-25 poll for six straight weeks.

Here's the story on the history being made, along with results of every Big Ten Championship Game.

During its 15 years, the Big Ten Championship Game has never had a meeting of the No. 1 and No. 2-ranked teams in the country. That all changes on Saturday night, when No. 1 Ohio State takes on No. 2 Indiana at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. It's a historic matchup.
