Versus gives Ohio State a narrow edge over unbeaten Indiana

Versus projects Ohio State to win 28-25, a three-point margin that gives the Buckeyes a 55 percent chance to leave Indiana with a win. That is as tight as these projections get, and it reflects two teams Versus grades at the top of the FBS pool despite very different paths to this point.

Indiana arrives at 6-0, the best record in college football, riding a 22-game winning streak and 19 straight wins at home. The Hoosiers carry an A+ overall grade, an A+ defense and sit 7th in defense and 15th in offense among FBS teams. The one soft spot in their profile is schedule strength, ranked 103rd, far behind Ohio State's 34th.

Ohio State counters at 5-1 with an A overall grade and A+ marks in power, offense and defense, ranking 5th in defense and 6th in offense nationally within FBS. The Buckeyes have also won 12 straight home games, though this one is played on Indiana's field. Ohio State holds a wide edge in the all-time series, winning nine of the last ten meetings between these two.

This is a Big Ten Conference game and it counts fully in the conference standings. With Indiana's unbeaten record on the line against a Buckeyes team Versus still rates among the best in the sport, the margin Versus projects suggests a game that could go either way.
