A marquee Big Ten matchup headlines Week 7 as No. 4 Ohio State visits No. 5 Indiana in a rematch of the 2025 Big Ten championship game. The game kicks off at 12 p.m. ET from Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, with Fox broadcasting the action.
Ohio State has won four consecutive games since falling to Texas, living up to its preseason hype. The Buckeyes will face a stiff test against an Indiana squad that has stayed atop the Big Ten standings despite the departure of Fernando Mendoza. Under head coach Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers have been less dominant than last year, with narrow victories over Northwestern and Nebraska, but with Josh Hoover under center, they remain optimistic. A raucous Memorial Stadium crowd is expected to provide a significant home-field advantage.
