Cotton Bowl Classic: Clemson vs. Ohio State

The Ohio State Buckeyes stood tall in their first test of the 2018 season. Quarterback Dwayne Haskins had yet another impressive game, while the Buckeyes’ defense found the end zone twice on their 40-28 victory on Saturday.

The Buckeyes take on Tulane before the head into a Week 5 matchup against Penn State. So expect Ohio State to remain right where they are next week, but with a tough conference schedule just over the hill, we may seem them fall — or rise.

Meanwhile, the Clemson Tigers will be taking on Georgia Tech and although the Yellow Jackets have been known to play upset, the Tigers should walk away from this one with barely a scratch. And for Clemson, they don’t face any real threats until the middle of October, so their seat in our projections shall remain their s until further notice.
