The upcoming season will again see iconic venues define some of the Big Ten’s greatest moments. In 2024, those moments included Michigan’s stunning win at Ohio State, Oregon’s impressive regular-season victory over the Buckeyes, and, finally, Ohio State’s revenge over the Ducks in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Rose Bowl.
