Conventional wisdom has top-ranked Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana both earning first-round byes in the College Football Playoff regardless of what happens in Saturday night’s Big Ten Championship Game.
Indiana coach Curt Cignetti is not buying that for one second.
“The way you play should mean something. It will be the last thing you put on the field. I don’t expect any handouts,” Cignetti said during a Zoom call on Sunday. “We’ve earned everything up to this point and we’ve got to earn it on Saturday.”
If this had been last year, the winner would get the first-round bye and the loser likely the No. 5 seed and a first-round game since the top four ranked conference champions got the top four seeds in the first year of the 12-team field.
However, the rules were adjusted this year where the top four teams — even if they are from the same conference — receive the byes.
Ohio State coach Ryan Day is of the opposite opinion, pointing out that if a team is already seeded highly, it shouldn’t get dinged for playing this Saturday.
“You’re not supposed to be penalized for playing in the conference championship,” he said. “So yeah, both teams deserve to get a first round bye.”

Day though also knows that a win on Saturday would lock up the top seed as Ohio State tries to become the first team since Georgia to win two straight national titles.
“I think it’s important to win this game and be the one seed. It’s going to help your chances. Everything matters,” Day said.
Both teams are 12-0 and unbeaten in nine Big Ten games.
Indiana started its preparations after a 56-3 romp of Purdue on Friday night. Ohio State snapped a four-game losing streak to Michigan with a 27-9 victory.
The Buckeyes coaching staff started watching film in Ann Arbor on Saturday night as the plane was delayed from taking off due to a snowstorm.
This will be only the third time there has been a matchup between the top two ranked teams in a conference championship game. The previous times were in the Southeastern Conference when Alabama faced Florida.
Both times the No. 2 team won the matchup. Florida beat Alabama 31-20 in 2008 and the Crimson Tide returned to get revenge the following year with a 32-13 victory.
Cignetti was an assistant at Alabama during those two matchups.
The Buckeyes are 3-2 as the top-ranked team when facing No. 2. The last time was in the 2007 BCS title game when they lost to LSU 38-24.
Indiana comes into the game with the nation’s second-highest scoring offense, averaging 44.3 points per game. Ohio State leads the nation in scoring defense, allowing only 7.8 points per game.
It will also be a chance for both quarterbacks to make their final case for the Heisman Trophy.
Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza is considered the favorite with 2,758 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Ohio State’s Julian Sayin leads the nation with a 78.9% completion rate and has thrown for 3,065 yards, 30 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Heisman ballots from voters are due on Dec. 8.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Jeremiah Smith broke away from the coverage.
Smith had made a double move on Michigan cornerback Zeke Berry, leaving him open along the sideline for quarterback Julian Sayin.
As the pass landed in his grasp, Smith tumbled into the south end zone at Michigan Stadium for a 35-yard touchdown.
The early sequence in Ohio State’s 27-9 win at archrival Michigan sparked a moment of controversy. Officials reviewed whether Smith had maintained possession while crossing the goal line before upholding the call.
It instead endured as a turning point, allowing the Buckeyes to take control early in the second quarter of the 121st edition of The Game. After gaining a 10-6 lead, they never fell behind.
Smith was a vital piece of their offense as he and fellow star wide receiver Carnell Tate returned from unspecified injuries to provide deep threats.
Their chemistry with Sayin was evident. Buckeyes coach Ryan Day said the play call that led to Smith’s touchdown catch on fourth-and-5 was one they had hardly practiced in the days leading up to kickoff.
Smith, who sat out last week’s win over Rutgers, had been limited in practices, leaving them to largely rep the play in walkthroughs.
“Some of the things you can practice,” Day said, “but some of them you can’t. That wasn’t a play we had a ton of practice at all. But we talked about it, we walked through it, and we have to give our guys credit.
“We felt like it was an aggressive call that we wanted to make in that moment, so we did, and they put on the field in a big way.”
Tate, who had been sidelined for three straight games, left his mark in the middle of the third quarter when he got over the top to catch a 50-yard touchdown to help put the game away.
During the Buckeyes’ four-game losing streak to Michigan, their vertical passing game had come and gone. The longest touchdown pass in Ohio State’s two most recent losses was 14 yards. Only once in four losses had they completed a pass for a touchdown of at least 30 yards.
It made the return of Smith and Tate, who had been listed as questionable on the pregame availability report, critical for the Buckeyes to end the Wolverines’ recent run of dominance in the series, tapping into an explosive element.
“Just having those guys back is just awesome,” Sayin said, “because they’re such elite receivers.”
Tate led the Buckeyes with five catches for 82 yards and one touchdown, which was his sixth this year to come on a deep ball, as defined by Pro Football Focus of at least 20 yards. Smith finished with three receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Day praised athletic trainers Shaun Barnhouse and Adam Stewart for their roles in helping the receivers in their rehabs, as well the resilience of Smith and Tate.
“If you really know how much work they put in to get on the field, how gutsy they are,” Day said, “I’m sure the fans and everybody would just appreciate what they did going out there and putting it on the line.”

It’s really been that long since Ohio State last beat Michigan?
In a four-game matchup drought against its bitter rival, the Buckeyes have not seen a victory against the Wolverines yet this decade. In 2024, No. 1 Ohio State lost 17-10 to an unranked Michigan team in one of the most drastic upsets in Ohio State football history.
The last time the Buckeyes beat Michigan was Ryan Day’s sole win in the rivalry as Ohio State’s coach.
How many days has it been since Ohio State football beat Michigan?
On the day of The Game, it has been 2,191 days since Ohio State football last beat Michigan.
When was the last time Ohio State football beat Michigan?
Ohio State last beat Michigan in the 2019 season in blowout fashion. It was also the last time Ohio State ranked as a No. 1 seed in The Game; the Buckeyes won 56-27 against a No. 13 Michigan team.
The Buckeyes had a star-studded lineup of future NFL players and were led by a big day from quarterback Justin Fields, who threw for 302 yards and four touchdowns in the victory. While Michigan opened up scoring, Ohio State marched downfield with big runs from J.K. Dobbins, who finished with 211 yards and four rushing touchdowns.
Up 21-13 halfway through the second quarter, Ohio State recovered a key fumble from Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson, who botched a snap in the red zone. Fields found wide receiver Garrett Wilson for a 47-yard catch on the ensuing drive to get to the Michigan 5-yard line, with Dobbins scoring a touchdown a play later.
Ohio State led 28-16 out of the first half and scored touchdowns on its first two drives of the third quarter with two more touchdown passes from Fields. The Buckeyes led 42-19 entering the fourth quarter and won 56-27, the largest scoring margin in the rivalry’s past 10 years.
