Last week's ranking: No. 1
Last week's game: W, 24-6 vs Washington
Ohio State did its job and went into enemy territory to snap a 22-game home winning streak belonging to the Huskies. By now, everyone knows about the weapons the Buckeyes have on offense, but it was their defense that proved why they're the No.1-ranked team in the country on Saturday -- it held a Washington offense that was averaging 55 points per game to just six points. Ohio State is the most balanced team in the nation, and well poised to defend its national title.
