Ohio State and Northwestern are meeting in the Big Ten Championship Game for the second time in three years.
The Wildcats earned the Big Ten West’s berth in the conference title game for the second time in three years by winning all but one of their seven regular-season games this year, including head-to-head wins over every other team in its division except Minnesota, who canceled its game against Northwestern due to a COVID-19 outbreak in its program.
As a result, this year’s Big Ten Championship Game will be a rematch of the 2018 Big Ten Championship Game, when Ohio State beat Northwestern 45-24.
