Indiana vs. Ohio State live updates: How to watch, predictions, odds, Top 25 schedule

Week 13 of the college football season will feature a top-five showdown between the Indiana Hoosiers and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

This game will have significant implications for the College Football Playoff rankings as well as the Big Ten as the season enters its final weeks.

Undefeated Indiana, currently on a 10-game winning streak – the longest in the program’s history – is making a compelling case for inclusion in the College Football Playoff conversation. Under first-year head coach Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers have honed a formidable defense, currently leading the FBS in rushing defense. The offense, led by quarterback Kurtis Rourke, is a force to be reckoned with as well. Rourke boasts an impressive 71.8% completion rate, throwing for 2,410 yards, 21 touchdowns, and four interceptions this season.

Despite a setback against Oregon earlier this season, Ohio State remains a formidable contender in the College Football Playoff discussion and a spot in the Big Ten championship game. The Buckeyes, known for their powerful offense, are led by quarterback Will Howard, who has a completion rate of 72.9%. Howard is supported by dynamic running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins.

Notre Dame and Army are playing at Yankee Stadium in a game nobody thought would have playoff implications. The Big 12 also will start to sort itself out after Brigham Young travels to Arizona State.

Who will emerge victorious?

The US LBM Coaches Poll for Week 13 is out after some unexpected results last week, and the top five looks slightly different from the preseason version. Here is how the top-25 shapes out ahead of Saturday’s action.

Heading into the final two weeks before championship weekend, there still could be some twists and turns. The Ohio State-Indiana showdown in the Big Ten should bring some clarity to that conference race. The SEC will be muddled until Week 14 results. The ACC and Big 12 also have some sorting out to do. But it feels like several of the at-large spots are set unless there are some major upsets. — Erick Smith

As Oscar Wilde famously observed, there is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. So it is that our attention here at Overreaction HQ is largely devoted to the endless debate among fan bases advocating for their teams and/or against others now that most of the college football regular season is in the books. Here are the top five overreactions causing the most noise after Week 12. — Eddie Timanus

The experts at USA TODAY Sports offer predictions for the season ahead, including which 12 teams will make the College Football Playoff. Who wins the national championship? 

  • Scooby Axson: Ohio State 
  • Jordan Mendoza: Oregon 
  • Paul Myerberg: Georgia 
  • Erick Smith: Georgia 
  • Eddie Timanus: Ohio State 
  • Dan Wolken: Ohio State 

In the 2024-25 season, 12 teams will qualify for the College Football Playoff. The top five conference champions will earn automatic bids, with the top four earning a first-round bye. The remaining seven highest-ranked teams will complete the 12-team field.

The 12 participating teams in the College Football Playoff bracket will be the five conference champions ranked highest by the CFP selection committee, and the next seven highest-ranked teams.

The four highest-ranked conference champions will be seeded one through four and receive a first-round bye. The fifth conference champion will be seeded where it was ranked or at No. 12 if it is outside the top 12 in the CFP rankings. Non-conference champions ranked in the top four will be seeded beginning at No. 5.

“Because of this,” the CFP warns on its website, “the seeding, 1 through 12, could look different than the final rankings.”

The second of six College Football Playoff Top 25 rankings will be released on Tuesday, Nov. 26, after Week 12 games.
