We’re still on the edge of our collective seats trying to figure out if the Ohio State football team will play enough games to make the Big Ten Championship Game — assuming it beats both Michigan State and Michigan. However, with or without OSU, we now know that time slot the game will be played.
According to a release from the Big Ten, the game will be televised by FOX and broadcast during the Big Noon Saturday window. The game will is still scheduled for December 19 and will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium. If OSU makes the game, it’ll mark the seventh time it either plays or was scheduled to play at Noon this season.
This year’s Big Ten Championship Game be the tenth game played. Ohio State has participated in five and won a conference tops four times. Wisconsin is the only team that has played in more Big Ten Championship games with six.

If the Buckeyes can curb the coronavirus outbreak it is currently dealing with, they will be shooting for their fifth-straight Big Ten Championship.
Now, all that’s missing are two teams. Northwestern has the inside track in the West Division with OSU in the driver’s seat pending the status of this week and next week’s games. If OSU can’t play over the next couple of weeks, Indiana would be the next in line.
