While Ohio State comes into the Big Ten title game as a prohibitive favorite over Northwestern, it would be a mistake to count out the Wildcats.
Ohio State is certainly the Big Ten's most glamorous team, and the Buckeyes come into this game off their best peformance of the year as they embarrassed Michigan 62-39 at Ohio Stadium.
The Buckeyes (11-1) were overpowering in that game, but Ohio State had a rather inconsistent season. They were drubbed by Purdue in their only loss of the season and escaped by narrow margins in victories over Nebraska and Maryland.
