Week 3 was interesting for many Big Ten teams.

For a lot of them, it was an outright disaster. But for others, like Ohio State, getting a win over No. 15 TCU in the state of Texas will only do wonders at the end of the season.

The College Football Playoff committee looks for big wins throughout the year and the Buckeyes got one Saturday night. ESPN also appears to be impressed with what Ohio State did in its 40-28 win over TCU.

Alabama is No. 1, which is a surprise to nobody. But Ohio State is now sitting at No. 2 according to ESPN, right ahead of Georgia, Clemson and Oklahoma.

Each of these teams have proven to be really good so far, but most recently, the Buckeyes have looked better than just about anybody against a quality opponent in the Horned Frogs.
