We've reached the postseason.
Following what seems like countless weeks of off-and-on football, No. 4 Ohio State remains in the College Football Playoff picture. One opponent stands in its way: The Big Ten West champion, No. 14 Northwestern.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Buckeyes have made the journey to Indianapolis for the final weekend of Big Ten play. Though this season may feel alarmingly different in many ways, Ryan Day's seniors have certainly become familiar with Lucas Oil Stadium.
Ohio State knows the stakes of this contest are at an all-time high. With a win, the Buckeyes have a clear path to the CFP. In Shaun Wade's eyes, that win must come in convincing fashion.
After a week filled with recruiting successes and individual awards, all eyes return to the gridiron for Ohio State's final step towards the Playoff.
