It was another slow start for Ohio State, albeit against a solid, undefeated Maryland squad. Of course, the Buckeyes overpowered the Terrapins and came out on top by a large margin. Because no one in the national media gave the Terps any respect, (they weren’t ranked in the top 25 but somehow two-loss LSU was), the win didn’t carry as much weight.
But let’s be honest though, this OSU team looks off. Between the offensive line struggles and Kyle McCord underthrowing extremely wide-open receivers, it’s hard to put the Buckeyes in the upper echelon of elite teams. And that seems to be Joel Klatt’s opinion as well.
With Georgia and Michigan looking dominant once again, both have separated themselves from the pack. Let’s take a look at how Klatt sees things after a mediocre performance from Ohio State in his updated weekly rankings.
