The Ohio State football team’s home game against Penn State on Nov. 23 will have a noon kickoff, Fox announced on Wednesday.

The network will feature Ohio State for the second time this season as part its Big Noon Saturday package. The Buckeyes defeated Wisconsin 38-7 on Oct. 26 in its debut Big Noon appearance.

Fox will bring its pregame show to town. It will start at 10 a.m. outside Ohio Stadium and then move inside the stadium for the next hour.

Ohio State earned the top spot in the initial College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday. Penn State was a surprise at No. 4 over defending national champion Clemson. The Nittany Lions, like Ohio State, are 8-0. Penn State plays at unbeaten Minnesota on Saturday.
