Ohio State football: A weak Big Ten West helps Buckeyes
By Ryan Stano
The Ohio State football team is the favorite to come out of the Big Ten. They have been the favorites to make the College Football Playoff from the conference. It seems like they are the most talented team on the Big Ten East side, but the West is extremely weak.
We don’t even know who the best team is in the Big Ten West. We all thought it was Wisconsin, but then they lost to Washington State last week. The Badgers come into town next week and still might give the Buckeyes some issues if they can run the ball well.
Iowa has the most disgusting offense in all of college football, having yet to score a touchdown through two weeks of the season. There’s no way that they give the Ohio State football team, or any other team that is contending for the Big Ten title, any issues.
Minnesota might be the best team in the West. They are 2-0 so far, but they haven’t played anyone good yet. We don’t know how good the Gophers are. Even if they do end up being the best team in the West, that’s a good thing for the Buckeyes.
The only other team that can rival Ohio State’s talent is TTUN. Both of these teams are head and shoulders better than Minnesota. It’s clear that as long as the Buckeyes can get revenge on TTUN in November, they will beat whoever they face in the Big Ten Championship.
