The Hoosiers, after beating the Buckeyes in the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis in early December, rolled to a national title win and a perfect 16-0 season. It was the first title in program history and gave the Big Ten three-straight champions.
Before then, Ohio State and Indiana are both set to open the 2025 season on Saturday, Sept. 5, with respective matchups against Ball State and North Texas. The rest of the 2026 schedule will be announced next Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. ET, according to the Big Ten.

However, that isn’t stopping the national media from getting on the Ohio State hype train heading into next season, as recently, the Buckeyes were named at number one in On3 Sports’ way-too-early rankings for the 2026 college football season.
