Ohio State is cruising so far this season, and if that continues, the Buckeyes will be in the College Football Playoff. But things will get tougher from here.
On Friday night, Ohio State improved to 7-0 with a 52-3 win over Northwestern. Justin Fields passed for 194 yards and four touchdowns, and the Buckeyes have now scored at least 34 points in each of their first seven games. They've also allowed 10 or fewer points in six of their first seven contests.
But if Ohio State is going to make the College Football Playoff for the first time since the 2016 season, it will likely need a strong finish.
