The Big Ten Championship Game was officially settled last Saturday, as Ohio State and Michigan State finished off expected clinchings and now look ahead to their December 7 meeting in Indianapolis.

The race for the Big Ten championship has been taking shape for a few weeks now, as Michigan State took steady hold of the race for the Legends Division title and began to look like a worthy sparring partner for Ohio State when the league crown is settled in Indianapolis on December 7.
