 Check out Lee Corso’s headgear pick for the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Championship Weekend has arrived and the final week of the season is here. After this, bowl season begins and the College Football Playoff field gets set. College GameDay bunkered down in Indianapolis, Indiana for the Big Ten Championship game between Wisconsin and Penn State.

This is the third time that College GameDay was the Big Ten Championship game on championship weekend. This was also the third time this year that College GameDay was present for a Wisconsin game. They started the year in Green Bay for Wisconsin vs. LSU. They traveled to Madison, Wisconsin during Week 7 for Wisconsin vs. Ohio State. Now they are at the Big Ten Championship game for Wisconsin vs. Penn State. GameDay has fallen in love with Wisconsin this year.

As for the game, its offense vs defense. Wisconsin’s defense vs Penn State’s offense. Whoever can get the bigger push at the line will have the advantage in this game. Wisconsin is ranked third in defense. They only allow 13.7 points a game. Penn State will need to find creative ways to move the ball and keep the Badger defense on their heels all game. Penn State is all around a good team. Pretty good in ever part of their game.

Wisconsin will need to find consistency in the passing game. Their running game is their biggest strength on offense with Corey Clement, who has run for over 1,000 yards and scored 13 touchdowns. They have a little trouble with the QB position this year, yet they are still 10-2. Wisconsin’s defense has been great and their offense has been just good enough to get them to this point.

This will now be Lee Corso’s 289th headgear pick. He is posting a 191-97 record all time and is 9-4 on the year. Lee Corso is 5-3 when he picks Wisconsin, but he is 8-2 when he picks against Penn State. This may be a tough pick for Corso. Wisconsin is only a three point favorite, its a rather even matchup. If he follows statistics then picking against Penn State and taking Wisconsin seems to be the best move.

Corso took the Badgers in the Big Ten Championship, while guest picker Keegan-Micheal Key took Penn State.
