Ohio State releases trailer for Big Ten championship against Wisconsin
December 6, 2019Never a doubt: Ohio State beats Wisconsin again, 34-21, to win third straight Big Ten title
December 8, 2019College football’s biggest rivalry this season isn’t between any of the sport’s most familiar, storied programs.
