Ohio State is set for its third Top 5 matchup of the season against 10-0 Indiana to keep hopes alive for a Big Ten Championship berth.

David: The Buckeyes take care of business as Ryan Day picks up his second Top 5 win of the season. Ohio State 34 Indiana 20

Blake: Ohio State is peaking at the right time, and Indiana has been extremely efficient offensively and defensively. The Buckeyes also suffered a massive blow up front as Center Seth McLaughlin tore his achilles. Something has to give in this game and I think the Silver Bullets rise to the occasion, specifically the secondary. This is Ohio State’s third Top 5 matchup of the season, however, the first at home. The Shoe will be rocking in the best environment of the weekend making it difficult for the visiting Hoosiers. I’ll take the motivated Buckeyes at home. Ohio State 31 Indiana 17 

Dan: Indiana absolutely is a top 12 team and deserves a shot in the playoffs. With that being said, they picked a bad week to play Ohio State. The Buckeyes will come out with a chip on their shoulder after losing their starting center for the rest of the season. This team is fully locked in for beating Michigan next week and will use this game as a crucial tuneup game. This will be 2021 MSU all over again. 49-0 Buckeyes!!!

Cass: Who would have thought Ohio State vs Indiana would be the Big Noon Kickoff game as a Top 5 matchup with ESPN’s College Gameday and BTN Tailgate show in town. Well it is here. Yes, the loss of Seth McLaughlin hurts but the guys are ready to rally around each other. Davison Igbinosun and Denzel Burke putting in extra work to help prepare for Rourke’s outstanding fade route sideline throws. I think the defense is ready for the Indiana offense. Offensively I think the Buckeyes look to get the ball in Jeremiah Smtih’s and Emeka Egbuka’s hands as the Buckeyes cover the spread with a win over the Hoosiers. Ohio State 31 Indiana 16

Carson H: Indiana is a respectable opponent having an all-time great season for their standards, but they still aren’t on Ohio State’s level. The Buckeyes will get a lead and carry it throughout the game, making the big plays when needed. I expect big games from Jeremiah Smith and Quinshon Judkins, which shouldn’t be a shocker to anyone. The defense will get a key takeover and make some defensive stands to help the offense. The Buckeyes win, setting up a big game against a struggling and underwhelming TTUN side. Ohio State 38 Indiana 17 

Carson M: Expecting a bit of colder weather so it should slow down Ohio State’s offensive attack. The current spread is -11.5 in favor of the Buckeyes, I think that’s too aggressive based on the current injury situation of the OL. I like the Buckeyes to still win in what’s sure to be the best home atmosphere of the season. I have it much closer with a win for the good guys. Ohio State 27 Indiana 24

AJ: Very Close game as the Buckeyes have the fire power to close out the game. Indiana proves they are not frauds and are able to hang with a top 5 team to the very end. Ohio State 31 Indiana 28
