Nothing like being a husker fan in the middle of buckeye/big 10 country.
Word.
The last list of Ohio watch sites I saw was focused mainly on the Cincinnati/Dayton corridor. Maybe you could trying looking up the Central Ohio Alumni Chapter and see if they organize anything. (And let me know if they let non-alumni tag along.)
The other possibility is to set something up with one of the sports bars as you suggested. Most would have DirectTV. We did this a few years ago with Jillians (no longer there), but I'm not sure if that was a pay-per-view deal. (Again let me know if you actually do set something up.)
