With the 2022 college football season officially over, it's time to direct attention to the 2023 season. There's no better way to do that than to talk about "way-too-early" top 25 rankings and look at Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff championship odds, so we decided to do just that. We took a look at where Ohio State falls in the…

Observations on Saturday's Ohio State-Michigan State game by Joey Kaufman: • Short-attention span synopsis: The Buckeyes ace their road test with another Big Ten beatdown. Points came by air rather than ground. C.J. Stroud's Heisman Trophy push revs up. Consider it a midseason stride. Michigan State has dipped in weight classes. • Pregame…

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - After an exhilarating, season-opening win over now-No. 8 Notre Dame, No. 3 Ohio State has a different challenge: get pumped up to play against a major underdog in Week 2, Arkansas State from the Sunbelt Conference. The Buckeyes got a nailbiting 21-10 victory over the Irish before a television audience of 10.5 million last…

At the beginning of the 2022 college football season, most fans looked at the upcoming schedule and believed that Michigan State would be one of the better teams in the Big Ten. Yes, Kenneth Walker III, a key part of Michigan State's 2021 success, had departed, but surely Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker would be able to adequately replace the…

The No. 6 Buckeyes wanted to right the ship and "get the bad taste" out of their mouths after the 42-27 loss to then-No. 6 Michigan knocked them out of Big Ten and College Football Playoff title contention. They did just that Saturday at the 108th Rose Bowl, overcoming opt outs and a poor first-half performance to rally and outscore the Utes 27-10…

It's homecoming weekend for Ohio State football. Rutgers is the opponent. Historically, that's appropriate. Sure, Rutgers happens to be in the same conference as the Buckeyes. But not only is Ohio State 8-0 all-time against the Scarlet Knights, but the closest game in the series was the 49-27 matchup in 2020's COVID-shortened season. Fortunately,…

This week, we spoke with Phil Harrison of Buckeyes Wire to get the context behind Ohio State's 3-0 start to the season as well as his thoughts on this week's matchup. We went in-depth into different areas of this year's Ohio State…

This Buckeyes offense appears as lethal as ever and it starts with quarterback CJ Stroud. What makes him so special? I think the thing that has set him apart, especially in his second year as the team's starter, is his anticipation and accuracy. He has an impressively strong arm, but not as much so as his immediate predecessors in Dwayne Haskins…

Wisconsin is a run-heavy team offensively that will look to limit Ohio State's number of possessions. At the same time, it also has a stout defense capable of slowing down the Buckeyes' offense. Those items also appeared on the scouting report entering OSU's season opener against Notre Dame. Even though Notre Dame limited the Buckeyes to three…

DraftKings Sportsbook odds: Betting Line: Ohio State -17.5 It isn't quite the 30-plus points they were favored against Toledo this past weekend - which proved to not even be enough in Ohio State's 56-point victory over the Rockets - but once again the Buckeyes are double-digit favorites as they are set to begin their Big Ten schedule when they host…

College football offered a smorgasbord for fans in Week 3 given the wide range of scores, results and highlights that were presented across Saturday's games. While this week reminded fans why they love the sport, it is also the type of week that gives AP Top 25 voters headaches as they attempt to fill out the newest college football rankings that…

COLUMBUS - No. 3 Ohio State tried last week to smooth out its early season wrinkles against a heavy underdog. Buckeyes coach Ryan Day doesn't think they've ironed out enough of them to be a championship contender just yet. Penalties remain the primary problem. Ohio State gifted last week's opponent, Arkansas State, with more penalty yards than the…

Ohio State will play its third and final non-conference game of the regular season on Saturday night at Ohio Stadium, where the Buckeyes will host Toledo for a rare primetime game (7 p.m.) against a MAC opponent on a national broadcast network (FOX).

After easily handling Arkansas State last week at noon, Ohio State is back under the lights on Saturday, hosting in-state foe Toledo. This will be Ohio State's final non-conference regular season contest this year before they open up Big Ten play next week against Wisconsin. The Buckeyes will look to keep their undefeated streak at Ohio Stadium…

Last week ATS: 10-7-1 (6-4 B1G, 4-3-1 National) Season ATS: 21-18-2 (10-9-1 B1G, 11-9-1 National) On a Saturday that saw a lot of shenanigans, wrapping up the day with a winning record feels like a huge accomplishment. With a couple games under the belt of each team, we are getting a better idea of what teams are this year, which hopefully leads to…

DraftKings Sportsbook odds: Betting Line: Ohio State -31.5 | Over/Under: 61 Ohio State is once again favored by over 30 points as they head into their Week 3 matchup against in-state Toledo. The Buckeyes are coming off a 45-12 win over Arkansas State in a sleepy afternoon game that clearly lacked the same fire from the home team - understandably so…

Ohio State returns to action in Week 2 with a nonconference matchup against Arkansas State on the docket. The Buckeyes will face the Red Wolves from Columbus this Saturday with a 12 p.m. Eastern time kickoff on BTN. Ohio State did not necessarily look electric as expected in Week 1, but the Buckeyes still rose to the task with a 21-10 win over…
