During Saturday's 28-17 victory against Penn State, Ohio State coach Ryan Day turned to one of his assistant coaches and said, "Maybe it's been a little too easy at times."
Ohio State, which entered the game ranked No. 1 in the country in scoring margin at 41.7 points per game, won by 11 points on Saturday -- its smallest margin of victory this season. It was a season-defining win that clinched the Big Ten's East division and guaranteed the Buckeyes a spot in the conference championship game, but it might not have been enough to leap LSU for the No.
