The Ohio State football program is one of the most hated programs in all of college football. While the fanbase for the Buckeyes is all over the country, so is the hate. People hate the best, and that's what they have been for the last two seasons. Ohio State is still undefeated and is the top-ranked team in the country.
There shouldn't be any issue with the Ohio State Buckeyes winning the next two games to set up a big-time showdown with Michigan. They have a great win against Texas, solid wins over Washington and Illinois, and have the best defense in the country.
Despite those facts, one ESPN analyst does not believe in the Buckeyes. In fact, he called them the "least tested number-one team in the history of college football", claiming that they haven't played anybody to this point.

"The least tested number-one team in the history of college football. They've played nobody. I mean, Week 1, Texas. Ever since then, they haven't played anybody. I don't know that they've played a team that's ranked right now, since Texas."
His argument only gets dumber after that.
"They have been trailing for one second in the second half this year. We have no idea who this Ohio State team, very good team, quarterback's a very good player, and Jeremiah Smith's the best player in college football. We have no idea who Ohio State is down four in the fourth quarter."
