The Buckeyes have been one of the best teams in the nation this season and they will likely need to win out again to get into the national title race and they finish the year with a huge game against Michigan on the road at the Big House and the Wolverines could be a tough test and that game could help decide who plays in the championship game for the conference. The team is ranked 21st in scoring defense with under 20 points per game and the team is ranked seventh in scoring offense with over 40 points per game and the divisions are tight up at the top, with Michigan State 4-0 and leading the Legends division and they have a 7-1 record and the team is ahead of Michigan and Nebraska.
The Leaders division has Ohio State at the top at 3-0 in the conference and they are ahead of Wisconsin as well as the Nittany Lions and they have already beaten the Badgers and they also helped send the Wildcats to 0-4 in the conference when they were expecting to be much better this season. The Buckeyes have already beaten one of the teams behind them and now they get another chance with Penn State and they end the schedule with games on the road in three of the next four weeks, including at Purdue and Illinois and after that comes a home matchup against Indiana, which leads into the final matchup with Michigan.
Penn State has a very talented team and are 4-2 this season and Christian Hackenberg comes into the game after an overtime thriller against Michigan and Ohio State now will be the toughest team that Penn State faces this season and this comes before they play against Illinois at home. Penn State comes into the game after winning two of three, losing to Indiana before the Michigan game and now they are 1-1 in the conference and after playing Ohio State and then Ill they will have Minnesota and then Purdue before another tough conference matchup against Nebraska and they are currently ranked. The team the finishes the season with a game against Wisconsin and the matchups with the Badgers are always tough.
