Why not?
I don’t agree with the numbers that suggest Ohio State has played one of the nation’s five-toughest schedules, but you can’t argue that the Buckeyes have been more consistently dominant week-in and week-out than any other team in college football.
Good teams don’t take weeks off, regardless of the opponent. All of us here are well aware of that.
Yes, Ohio State’s two sternest tests lie ahead, but the Buckeyes have now outscored conference opponents 245-41 following Saturday’s 73-14 pasting of Maryland, an average margin of victory of 39 points. The numbers – and common sense – indicate that neither Penn State nor Michigan has much of a chance.
