THE SCOOP​

Iowa has had two weeks to prepare for #3 Ohio State -- but will it matter? The Buckeyes started the year ranked #2 in the AP Top 25, but their small drop to #3 in those rankings has more to do with notable wins by other teams in the Top 10 than it does any failing on Ohio State's part.

The Buckeyes have outscored their four opponents this season 195-27 and only one opponent (Marshall) has cracked 10 points (14). That margin has been even more lopsided in the second half, where Ohio State has outscored opponents 91-3. The Buckeyes have trailed for a grand total of one minute and forty-two seconds this season.

The Buckeyes are tied for third in the nation in scoring offense -- with Indiana (!), of all teams -- at 48.8 points per game, while also leading the nation in scoring defense at 6.8 points per game. This has been a juggernaut of a team on both sides of the ball.
