PISCATAWAY -- Unlike in 2015, Ohio State won't be the No. 1-ranked team in the nation when it visits Rutgers.

But it still is a heavy favorite.

Coming off back-to-back comfortable wins against Army and UNLV, No. 11 Ohio State (3-1, 1-0) is listed by VegasInsider.com as a 29-point favorite Saturday night against Rutgers (1-3, 0-1) at High Point Solutions Stadium.

Ohio State is playing must-win games the rest of the way if it hopes to make a third trip in four years to the College Football Playoff.
