1. Ohio State’s average win margin will be 35

Sorry, Indiana, Minnesota and Purdue, but this isn’t going to be the year you take down Ohio State in shocking fashion and make a statement in the Big Ten.

Not many Big Ten teams have been able to defeat Urban Meyer and that won’t change any time soon. The Hoosiers, Gophers and Boilermakers will all fail to come within five touchdowns of the Buckeyes on the final scoreboard — no, that’s not a typo. Ohio State’s average win margin will be around 35 points.

Ohio State will dominate each opponent, as expected, and likely (depending on what Vegas thinks) cover each spread.

The toughest game of the month will likely come against Purdue on the road, but the Boilermakers will find it difficult to keep up with the Buckeyes’ offense — even with Rondale Moore breaking out as one of the most electric receivers in the nation.

Watch out, Big Ten, Ohio State is on an absolute warpath and the month of October will be proof that the Buckeyes may be untouchable this season.
