Ohio State is in the stat-padding part of its schedule.
It is racking up blowouts, filling up box scores and starting to help people regain some confidence in terms of whether it's a legitimate national title contender. The Buckeyes outscored their last three opponents 172-35.
And now it's favored by 24 points for its upcoming game at Nebraska.
