Ohio State vs. Northwestern: 2026 game preview and prediction
Ohio State have found themselves in an unfamiliar position.
After suffering a 41-28 loss to Oregon last week, the Buckeyes have now lost back-to-back regular season games for first time since the 2011 season.
With the loss to the Ducks, Ohio State will have a hard time making the College Football Playoff.
The state of the Buckeyes
The only hope the Buckeyes have of making the CFP for a third straight season is to win their final three regular season games and then win the Big Ten Championship Game, if they even happen to qualify for next month’s game in Indianapolis.
