Despite a sluggish first half, the Buckeyes cruised past Indiana in Week 1, beating the Hoosiers 49-21 in Bloomington. Saturday, Oklahoma throttled UTEP 56-7.
Right now, Ohio State is ranked No. 2 while the Sooners fill the No. 7 spot, thought there may be some jostling at the top following Florida State’s 24-7 loss to Alabama.
Last year, Ohio State beat Oklahoma 45-24 in Norman.
