Is Ohio State now the favorite to win the Big Ten? Final Thoughts from Maryland

Related Topics: Maryland

Twenty thoughts following Ohio State's 62-14 blowout of Maryland in Ohio Stadium, signifying how many days we are away from a real game — Penn State.
1. I have been the person who has been constantly reluctant to give Ohio State too much credit for these blowouts because, well, this is the stat-padding portion of the schedule. Even after Ohio State lost to Oklahoma, everyone knew the 50-spots were coming during this mundane 4-game stretch against Army, UNLV, Rutgers and Maryland. And I anticipated another 50 spot is coming next week at Nebraska. BUT, I think it's time to start considering that Ohio State has taken major leaps forward after what we saw against Maryland.
