Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Wisconsin Badgers Complete Big Ten Championship Preview

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Facing the most uncertainty that it has all season, the Ohio State football team will head to Indianapolis for its second consecutive appearance in the Big Ten Championship Game. It is there that the Buckeyes will meet up with Wisconsin, who at 10-2 finds itself favored over 11-1 OSU.

That’s because despite the Buckeyes’ ascent in the College Football Playoff rankings, they’ll be playing with their third-string quarterback in Cardale Jones following a season-ending injury suffered by J.T. Barrett against Michigan. Wisconsin, meanwhile, possesses the nation’s second-ranked defense and will head to the Circle City riding a seven-game winning streak.

Will Ohio State be able to overcome the loss of his its second Heisman Trophy candidate this season, or will the Badgers end the Buckeyes’ chances of landing in the first-ever College Football Playoff? We’ll find out on Saturday. But until then, here’s everything you need to know about this weekend’s Big Ten Championship Game:
