The Ohio State Buckeyes may not have played a murderers' row of opponents thus far during the 2025 college football season, but they have earned the designation of being a murderers' row caliber to opponents in wins against the Illinois Fighting Illini, Minnesota Golden Gophers, Washington Huskies, and Texas Longhorns.
As USA Today's Blake Toppmeyer noted, OSU is getting the job done as expected every weekend, unlike schools of similar stature like the Penn State Nittany Lions, who just fell to 0-3 in Big Ten play with a loss to the Northwestern Wildcats, or the Alabama Crimson Tide, or the Texas Longhorns.
