Next weekend will be the third occasion this season that College GameDay is present at Ohio State for a game. The ESPN kickoff show previously visited Eugene, Oregon, on October 12, and State College, Pennsylvania, on November 2, to preview the Buckeyes' matchups against the Ducks and Nittany Lions.
Ohio State lost to Oregon 32-21 but won against Penn State 20-13.
Historically, Ohio State has a record of 41 wins and 20 losses when GameDay broadcasts from its campus. FanDuel Sportsbook has already listed the Buckeyes as 11-point favorites.
Ohio State will compete against Indiana at noon next Saturday. FOX will air the conference showdown as part of its Big Noon Saturday lineup, and the Big Noon Kickoff pregame show will be broadcast live from Ohio State's campus that morning.
Ohio State and Indiana's lopsided rivalry began in 1901. Ohio State has largely controlled the series, holding an all-time record of 82 wins, 12 losses, and 5 ties against Indiana.
The Buckeyes are consistently recognized as one of the Big Ten's elite teams, while Indiana has historically faced challenges in competing with them. In their last five encounters, Ohio State has continued to assert its dominance, winning 35-16 in 2024, 23-3 in 2023, 56-14 in 2022, 54-7 in 2021, and 42-35 in 2020.
While Indiana has shown sparks of competitiveness at times, Ohio State's depth of talent typically leads them to victory.
