The Ohio State Buckeyes are building up to an end-of-season clash against their undefeated arch-rival Michigan Wolverines. However, they would be well advised not to get ahead of themselves. The Buckeyes, currently on a 9-0 winning streak, will have to defeat the Indiana Hoosiers this week before they turn their attention towards Michigan. Ohio State are a massive 40-point favorite. This one could be sealed at halftime.

Heisman Trophy contender C.J. Stroud leads the Ohio State Buckeyes. Stroud has dominated the Big Ten with 29 TD passes to four interceptions. While Stroud has been supremely effective, it can be argued that he has missed some of his firepower of late.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is back and is as close to 100% as he has been all season long. Having a fit and firing JSN back for the Buckeyes offense is a nightmare for any opposition.
The Buckeyes do not lack an explosive array of weapons on the outside. Marvin Harrison Jr. continues his development as a superstar with over 800 yards receiving and ten touchdowns already this season.
Emeka Egbuka provides yet another high-end receiving option for C.J. Stroud. Egbuka has just under 800 yards receiving and seven touchdowns. Imagine this trio of receivers playing in top gear, on the field at the same time!
Not to mention that the Buckeyes can run the ball as well as anyone in the Big Ten. The combination of TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams causes problems aplenty for defenses. The dynamic duo in the backfield have combined for 1,200 rushing yards and 18 rushing scores.
