The ESPN talking heads immediately started touting the “Oklahoma has no defense” argument and trying to will Ohio State ahead of Oklahoma football in the next College Football Playoff rankings. While it’s true the Sooners are struggling on that side of the ball, giving up 40-plus points in four-straight games, the Buckeyes aren’t exactly the 1985 Chicago Bears.
Ohio State surrendered 51 to Maryland in a one-point win that came down to the last play of the game. Yes, that’s the same offensive juggernaut Terps team that was held to less than a touchdown three times in conference play, including a 23-0 shutout loss to Iowa.
