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.

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
