The Ohio State football team has some intriguing conference matchups, and one of the top non-conference games of the year. Here are all the Buckeye’s games ranked by easiest to most difficult.

First a look at the Cakewalks

This group of teams will likely be 30+ point underdogs or more when they face the Buckeyes. These are games that should not pose any kind of issue and the only question is how many points Ohio State puts on the board.

Bowling Green

The first game of the 2020 season will be after a shortened spring and summer schedule. Ohio State does have a very difficult game against Oregon coming up next, but with limited training it will be raw talent versus raw talent.

Ohio State wins that battle against most teams in the country.

Buffalo

This is another team that is traveling to Columbus for the paycheck. The game should be decided before the first quarter comes to an end.

Rutgers

Rutgers has a familiar head coach that could move this program out of the Big Ten basement, but not this year. It will be a few years before Rutgers is able to compete or even threaten the bulk of the Big Ten.
