The stage is set here for an epic Big Ten Championship game between two 12-0 teams at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Indiana has been an underdog just once, beating Oregon (30-20) as a +7 dog. Junior QB Fernando Mendoza (32 TDs, 5 INTs) leads a balanced offense (483.8 yards per game) along with RBs Roman Hemby (866 yards, 5.3 ypc) and Kaelon Black (729 yards, 5.7 ypc). The Hoosiers have the No. 1 strength of record, including knocking off No. 3 Oregon and No. 9 Illinois (63-10). The defense is sixth in the country in yards allowed, third in points allowed (11.9 per game), and fifth on third downs (28.97%). This will be Ohio State's toughest challenge, likely a razor-thin close one all the way. With Indiana on a 16-8 ATS run, back the undefeated underdog. Play Indiana.
