Ohio State is dominant, right? Nobody can really dispute that.

Through its first 10 games of the 2019 season, it seems like nobody’s even been close to taking them down. And, that would be correct.

Once the final whistle has blown in each of the Buckeyes’ first 10 games, no team has lost by fewer than 24 points. Impressive, no?

Actually, Ohio State is the second team to ever accomplish that in the last 100 years of the sport:

That’s quite an incredible accomplishment. No team has been within 21 points the last 10 games against the Buckeyes? Really?

Again, they’ve been that good. Only the 1971 Nebraska Cornhuskers can say they’ve been that dominant. How did the Huskers’ season end that year?

By beating No. 2 Alabama 38-6.

Ohio State can only wish to do the same later this season.
