2025 College Football Week 15 Picks: Back Buckeyes Outright, Low-Scoring 1st Half

The two best teams in the country — Ohio State and Indiana — meet in the Big Ten title game to determine the conference champion and the No. 1-seed in the College Football Playoff. 

In other words, it's on.

Both teams finished 12-0 in the regular season and this should be an outstanding matchup. Both will face the best team they’ve played all season. Ohio State played Texas in Week 1 and Michigan last week. Indiana is better than those two teams. Indiana played at Oregon and Iowa and won both those close contests. Ohio State is better than either of those teams. 

This game will be fantastic.

These teams mirror each other in how they’d like to score on offense. It’s a controlled offensive tempo. Win at the line of scrimmage. Run the ball. Play action pass or, in Indiana’s case, a bunch of RPOs. These offenses will take shots, but they don’t need them to move the ball. 

Both of these offenses are facing defenses that will challenge them. Ohio State’s defense is the best in the country and will make it hard on Indiana’s offensive line and receivers. 

Indiana’s offense is not complicated: inside zone, RPOs, and it throws outside the numbers. Can the Hoosiers scale up against Ohio State? 

On the other hand is Indiana’s defense, which is sound as can be. The Hoosiers play a ton of zone coverage, keep things in front of them, making little to no mistakes and remaining physical upfront. They strike the opposing offensive lines and the Buckeyes' offensive line is in for a test. It can be a shaky unit compared
