Last game: 52-21 win vs. Wisconsin
Next game: Oct. 1 vs. Rutgers

Ohio State became the clear favorite to win the Big Ten and the top team this past weekend with its throttling of Wisconsin. It was expected, but it just shows how talented this offense is and will continue to be until they run into a defense like Iowa, Alabama, or Georgia. C.J. Stroud finished last week with 281 passing yards on just 17 completions and five touchdowns. Though he threw his first interception of the season, Stroud ranks tied for first with the most passing touchdowns (16) in the nation.

The Buckeyes rank as the third best team offense in FBS through four weeks, and it’s hard to believe that will slow down with matchups against Rutgers and Michigan State over the next two weeks. Expect Ohio State to ride into a Week 7 matchup against the tough Hawkeyes defense in Columbus undefeated at 6-0.
