Ohio State made its case for a spot on the College Football Playoff in impressive fashion on Saturday, rolling over Wisconsin, 59-0, in the Big Ten Championship game in front of 60,229 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Buckeyes (12-1), who are ranked No. 5 in the playoff poll, scored less than two minutes into the game and never looked back. They punted only twice in the first half — one was a Big Ten title game record 73-yarder — and scored every way imaginable.
Sophomore quarterback Cardale Jones, starting for the first time in place of the injured J.T. Barrett, finished with three touchdown passes and was 12-for-17 for 257 yards. His three scores all went to senior Devin Smith, who had four catches for 137 yards while sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott ran for 220 yards and a pair of touchdowns. His first was a championship game record 81-yarder.
Yes sir
Playoff bound! Wow
Dino Simmons BW3 for the game…lol
Playoffs Baby!!!!!!!
That Australian punter is hard and number 9 is a beast our running back looked like a Heisman candidate last night!!! They did that!
I think FSU should be # 1 or 2…..we should be #4
Most definitely. We will find out in about 9 minutes. TCU is out I believe.
3rd string qb, defense on point, plenty of execution points. Yes they are play off contenders.
Ohio state is the best team in college.
That was one if the most impressive victories in college football history. To beat a ranked conference rival in a conference championship game 59-0 with your 3rd string qb with a week of preparation. Please someone enlighten me if it’s happened before
a lot of teams are scared of Ohio state
Yes!!
Ohio St should be #4 by 1230 today…they drug MI St at East Lansing and destroyed Wisconsin on a neutral field for the Big 10 Chip they they have played against and knocked off at least 4 of the top 15 defenses in the country and nobody can roll out their 3rd string QB on one weeks notice and mud stomp a team in the conference chip…NOBODY wants to play THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES period.
We will be no. 3 above Florida state because Ohio state has blew out Wisconsin but Florida state has been having a lot of close calls with teams. Its not always about the record but the body of work.
I think we will get in…we completely shut down #1 running back country and completely dominated #2 defense ….with our 3rd string QB…we are the juggernaut!!
And you know this mannn
no way Ohio state shouldn’t be #4! Fsuperfect record is cool but bump them up to 3 because we should be in there. plus i wasn’t impressed with how fsu struggled last night w/ georgia tech
Fo Sho!
Yes, I feel its enough but Condoleezza Rice is voting… Ohio St looked like a top 1/2 team in all phases of last nights game… very impressive & to do it with their 3rd string guy
Sure Do I really Believe they should Be #3 & FSU #4 But I’ll Take 4
