No. 1 Ohio State (Last Week – 1) —
The Buckeyes used a second half surge to put away the pesky Indian Hoosiers. In the last decade, whenever a team has traveled to Bloomington, it is rarely an easy game – last Thursday night was no different for Ohio State.
Sensational performances by freshman JK Dobbins, wide receiver Parris Campbell and Big Ten co-offensive player of the week JT Barrett staved off a monumental opening-week loss.
This week the Buckeyes prepare to host Baker Mayfield and the Oklahoma Sooners in a prime time affair of two top-5 programs. A win this week would go along was to solidifying the Buckeyes placement atop our Power Rankings.
