Key Wins: @Alabama, Florida, Auburn, @Texas

This Week: W; 56-20 Arkansas

Up Next: Texas A&M (7-4) Sat 7:00 ESPN

Ohio State has the #1 ranked offense and defense in college football. No surprises if this team gets back to #1 in my rankings before long. It’s like splitting hairs with LSU right now. The win over Penn State clinches a Big Ten Championship berth.

Key Wins: Penn State, Wisconsin, Cincinnati

This Week: W; 28-17 Penn State

Up Next: @13 Michigan (9-2) Sat 12:00 FOX
