Ohio State among favorites for conference Championship weekend

Three years ago, quarterback J.T. Barrett was unable to participate in the Big Ten Championship Game for the Ohio State Buckeyes due to an ankle injury. The Buckeyes still routed the Wisconsin Badgers without him 59-0 as 4-point underdogs and went on to win the national championship as dogs in each of their last two games as well.

Last Saturday, Barrett again suffered an injury against the Michigan Wolverines in the regular-season finale, but it is not serious enough to keep him from playing the Badgers for the conference title this time around.

Ohio State (10-2) is listed as a 6-point favorite at the sportsbooks on Saturday against unbeaten Wisconsin (12-0) and hopes one more victory will put the team in position to make another run at the national title in the College Football Playoff.
