This group should be heavily overmatched, but they have enough talent to make it interesting for a quarter or two. Ohio State will be favored highly in each of these games and should end up with comfortable double-digit wins.

@ Michigan State

The Spartans have fallen lately and with a new head coach trying to turn around this program, they look to be overmatched across the board. A big win by Ohio State in 2019 could be a blueprint for how this game will play out.

Nebraska

Nebraska has had a lot of turnover, which makes me feel like they are still a few seasons away from competing heavily in the Big Ten. The Cornhuskers were supposed to be the wildcard team in 2019, but they were quickly shown how far they have to come.

@ Maryland

I see this game being much more like 2019 than 2018 because of the focus Ryan Day has. A dismal season for Maryland in 2019 will take a little bit to rebound from before they are competing with the Buckeyes.
