Ohio State vs. Wisconsin Big Ten Championship Game preview: 5 reasons the Buckeyes win

Ohio State handled Wisconsin pretty handily the first time around, now it has to beat the Badgers one more time in the Big Ten Championship.

The Buckeyes are the better team

Well, obviously. Look, this is to take nothing away from Wisconsin, but Ohio State just has the overall better talent by a wide margin. The Badgers can hang with about anyone aside from a team as athletic and skilled as these Buckeyes.

I think when it’s all said and done, we’re going to look back on this OSU team and be amazed at how many guys got drafted and are big parts of NFL teams. And as good as this Wisconsin program is, it’s one built on a brand and player type, not otherworldy skill. Not that there’s a lack of talent there, it’s just not to the level of what you see up and down the roster in Columbus.

The Buckeyes have the better talent at almost every spot on both sides of the ball, and that matters more than anything else.
