Pre Game
Northwestern is a huge underdog in this game. Competition in the Big Ten West was inconsistent, to say the least, except for Northwestern. The Wildcats are undefeated in their division and finished the regular season 9-3.
Ohio State finished the regular season 11-1, beating the higher ranked #4 Michigan in their last game. They've had several close calls and at times looked down right apathetic. This game depends on which team Ohio State brings to Lucas Oil Stadium.
