Week 4 brings a host of interesting games. While Ohio State gets one final tune-up three ranked match-ups will be the focus. 

Ohio State’s game may not make headlines, but Michigan-Wisconsin, Auburn-Texas A&M and Notre Dame-Georgia will be at the front of college football fans’ minds this Saturday.

But first, let’s take a look at the Buckeyes’ final non-conference game.

Miami (1-2) at #6 Ohio State (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) — 3:30 p.m. ET on BTN at Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio

Line: Ohio State -39.5

Ohio State finishes non-conference play against Miami (Ohio) as they try to continue an undefeated streak against in-state opponents that dates back to 1921.

That streak will continue for another year as J.K. Dobbins carves up a weak Redhawks defense and Justin Fields continues his near-perfect start (zero INTs) as he and his receivers find Zone 6 again and again.

This game will also be a chance for Jeffrey Okudah to continue to show that he is an NFL-ready talent, and I think he will have a field day against Brett Gabbert, younger brother of NFL quarterback Blaine Gabbert.

The Buckeyes get off to a fast start similar to the Florida Atlantic game and head coach Ryan Day motivates the team to finish the game strong.

Ohio State 55, Miami (Ohio) 7

Now on to the three ranked match-ups of the weekend.
