From @FauxPelini to beat writers, 105 Big Ten title game predictions

[btn-post-package-v2]

The picks are in for the 2017 Big Ten championship game!

And when I say picks, I mean picks! I polled 105 media members and asked them for a predicted score. Amazingly: 53 picked Wisconsin and 52 selected Ohio State.

Just to set the scene …

This is Wisconsin's fifth all-time appearance in the Big Ten Championship game (2-2), and Ohio State's third (1-1). Ohio State has won its last five games against Wisconsin, including a 59-0 victory over the Badgers in the 2014 Big Ten Championship Game.

Now, Wisconsin is 12-0 for the first time in school history. Ohio State has won its last 44 games when it scores 25 or more points in the contest (10-0 in 2017).

The last time the Buckeyes lost a game when scoring 25 or more points was their 40-35 defeat to Clemson in the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl. They are 0-2 this season when held below 25 points.

Let's get right to the picks.
