Ohio State Has College Football’s Best Résumé, Defense Continues to Carry Buckeyes and Don’t Sleep on Rutgers

Ohio State football is the No. 1 team in the country as it enters the final month of the regular season while Ohio State basketball season begins next week.

We talk about both sports on this week’s episode of Real Pod Wednesdays, though our discussion mostly centers around the football Buckeyes, who earned the top spot in the initial College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday night. We think that ranking is well-deserved, and we explain why – and why it does matter – on this week’s show.

Ohio State’s defense led the way to that No. 1 ranking, and it led the Buckeyes to another win this past weekend at Wisconsin, where Ohio State earned its first double-digit victory in Madison since 2000 with a 24-10 win over the Badgers.
