What channel is Ohio State vs. Wisconsin on today? Time, TV schedule for Big Ten opener

By | September 24, 2022

Ohio State and Wisconsin are set to begin Big Ten play this season against each other on Saturday.

The third-ranked Buckeyes will play host to the Badgers in Ohio Stadium. Though the matchup has lost some of its luster with Wisconsin’s upset loss to Washington State in Week 2, it still will go a long way in determining the Big Ten East and West standings (and the Buckeyes’ College Football Playoff chances).

Ohio State (3-0) is in the midst of an eight-game winning streak in this series — including three meetings in the Big Ten championship game — dating to 2011. The last time the Badgers (2-1) beat the Buckeyes was in 2010, 31-18 in Madison, Wis.

Ohio State enters this game with one of the most potent offenses in college football on the strength of quarterback C.J. Stroud and wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Marvin Harrison Jr. The Buckeyes lead the FBS in total offense (565.3 yards per game), are seventh in passing offense (358.3 yards per game) and are 10th in scoring offense (47.7 points per game).

Wisconsin does not have the quite the same offensive firepower, but it has gotten good play from Graham Mertz (44-of-62 passing, 697 yards, six touchdowns, two interceptions) and running back Braelon Allen (50 attempts, 332 yards, five touchdowns).
