2. Ohio State (10-1)

Week 12 result: Defeated Michigan State 56-7

This was the biggest beatdown I’ve ever seen between two top 10 ranked teams. It was truly unbelievable to watch. Seeing the Buckeyes score at will so easily was just nuts.

Ohio State absolutely embarrassed them and made Michigan State look like an FCS school. Every other play was basically a touchdown for the Buckeyes.

The Spartans had no answer for them and really didn’t even belong on the same field. They had a 49-0 lead at halftime and didn’t even need to try in the second half. And this was against the seventh-ranked team in the country.

CJ Stroud definitely made a case for the Heisman in this game with 432 yards and six touchdowns. I still think Stroud is just a product of his receivers who are the best in the nation. But I can’t argue with the stats that he has put up this year. I would not want to face this Buckeye offense right now as they are unstoppable at the moment.

They are heading up to Michigan at the right time and will be looking to own the Wolverines once again as they always do. This will be the best defense Ohio State has had to play yet, but it doesn’t seem like anyone can slow this offense down right now.

Next game: vs. Michigan
My prediction: Win 32-20
