Ohio State will make the biggest jump in this week’s top 10, along with Louisville, leaping all the way to No. 2 after beating Maryland by 59 points and watching the three teams ahead of it drop.

If you’re the Buckeyes, you have to be pretty happy with how things stand right now. First, bitter rival Michigan lost at the hands of Iowa and that means that Big Ten title hopes are still alive and well. And second, the Buckeyes are setting themselves up for a huge season finale against the Wolverines that could decide the Big Ten East.

J.T. Barrett had yet another solid game and the Buckeyes have won their last two games by a combined score of 124-6 — and one of those games came against the No. 10 team in the country. Urban Meyer’s team keeps demolishing inferior opponents and will need to do so again this week before ‘The Game’ against Michigan to close the year.

Does this team truly have what it takes to win the Big Ten or will Michigan or Penn State take home the conference crown? Right now that doesn’t matter seeing as the Buckeyes are leading the way.

The Buckeyes shouldn’t overlook a road game at Michigan State this weekend. Even though the Spartans have had a tough season, going just 3-7, they are just a few plays away from having the inverse record. The talent is still there and East Lansing will be rocking.
