The quarterback matchup between Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Ohio State’s Julian Sayin is commanding most of the attention going into the Big Ten Championship Game. However, the matchup also features the nation’s top two ranked scoring defenses.
In the Big Ten, Michigan is just one of four Big Ten programs ranked inside the top 20. Illinois (No. 23), Iowa (28) and Minnesota (29), Indiana (32), Maryland (41), Rutgers (45) and Michigan State (46) are the other Big Ten schools inside the top 50.

Ohio State, Indiana clash for Big Ten crown in rare title game featuring nation’s top-ranked teams
Indiana coach Curt Cignetti has been here before. Twice. His second-ranked Hoosiers, just like first-ranked Ohio State, have not.
Between offense, defense and special teams, 17 Hoosiers were handed All-Big Ten honors this season, and their quarterback was voted best offensive player.
For the fourth straight year Michigan State’s top individual Big Ten honors went to a special teams player. Ryan Eckley earned that distinction for the second consecutive season when he was named first team all-conference and the Big Ten’s Punter of the Year on Wednesday.
