In 2019, Fox reimagined its college football coverage and created the "Fox Big Noon Kickoff" show that broadcasts for two hours before the network's signature game of that week's college football schedule.

The live pregame show first went on the road, like ESPN's "College GameDay," later that season and has made Columbus a home away from home.

With the Fox and Big Ten television deal in-place (it was renewed and expanded this summer), Ohio State has been featured on the game prominently since its inception.

Has 'Fox Big Noon Kickoff' ever gone to the Ohio State-Michigan game?

Yes. In fact the show has not missed an Ohio State vs. Michigan game since starting this format in 2019. But due to the 2020 game being canceled, this is the first time the show has been to an OSU-Michigan game in Columbus.
