Ohio State is coming off of one of the most important wins of their season, and they'll get to bask in that victory all weekend as they enjoy a well-earned bye.
The Buckeyes faced a tough challenge last week, hitting the road for a top-ranked conference matchup against the defending national champions, Indiana. Ohio State ultimately left Bloomington with a 19-15 win, but they lost quarterback Julian Sayin to an arm injury in the process.
Ohio State now sits at No. 3 in the national rankings, only behind BYU and Miami. The team will stay in Columbus this weekend and prepare for a solid final stretch of conference games, starting back up with USC on Halloween.
