Does Ohio State Play Today?
No, the Ohio State Buckeyes do not play in Week 9 of the college football season. The Buckeyes get their second and final bye of the season before the stretch run toward a berth in the College Football Playoff. Ohio State is coming off a dominant win at Wisconsin last week, where they blanked the Badgers 34-0. The one-sided victory improved OSU to 7-0 on the year.
The Buckeyes are the odds-on favorite to repeat as National Champions, sitting at +260. It’s really not even close as their nearest competitor, Alabama, has +650 odds. The number is even thinner at +120 for OSU to reach the championship game. They are also the healthy favorite to win the Big Ten at -160, and because Ohio State’s odds to make the CFP have become so short, they are now completely off the board.
Let’s look at Ohio State’s game-by-game season so far and dive into what the Buckeyes have in store for them following their Week 9 break.
