You would’ve been told you were clinically insane to think Ohio State vs. Indiana would be one of the two biggest games on the Buckeyes schedule at the start of the season.
Well, that’s the case now as both the Buckeyes and Hoosiers are top-ten teams with the latter still being among the few undefeated teams. This game could have massive implications on both teams College Football Playoff journey.
While the battle at Oregon still takes the cake for the Buckeyes top game, this game has the potential to have just as impactful consequences. Should they lose, they will likely still crack the CFP, but they more than likely won’t be in the Big Ten Championship Game.
Nonetheless, fans would love a night game, and if you look at Twitter/X for just a few seconds, you could tell the disappointment among the fanbase. Don’t tell FOX Sports that as they have elected to make Indiana vs. Ohio State the Big Noon Kickoff for Week 13.

Ohio State has a good chance of having ESPN’s College Gameday in Columbus as well, especially if both teams stay undefeated through Week 12.
It should be a special game regardless of when it is, and with Indiana on deck for Week 13 then Michigan in Week 14, it’ll be a big end to the season after the Buckeyes ideally take of business on the road against Northwestern Saturday.
