The game features multiple notable pickmakers, including Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, Kirk Herbstreit, and guest picker Caitlin Clark.\n\nOhio State's Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin are expected to be key players for the Buckeyes, who have shown strong form since their Week 2 loss to Texas. Iowa's 20-19 victory over Michigan last week secured their place as the first Big Ten team to earn ESPN's College GameDay broadcast.\n\nAmong the pickmakers, Nick Saban and Kirk Herbstreit have opted for Ohio State, while Pat McAfee and Caitlin Clark have chosen Iowa. This 14-6 matchup between the No. 6 and No. 14 teams in the rankings promises to be a critical game in the Big Ten standings.",
