Ohio State continues to ace all its early-season tests to begin 2019.

Head coach Ryan Day may have focused on missed opportunities after the game, but the Buckeyes were nonetheless impressive in Week 3. A 51-10 blowout of Indiana in the B1G opener kept the team undefeated and rolling early on.

Not only are the Buckeyes rolling but plenty of analysts around the country are taking notice. After the departure of Urban Meyer, many were left wondering if Day could keep the strong play rolling right long. Through three weeks, Ohio State has answered any concerns surrounding how the team would look without Meyer on the sideline.

One analyst that is buying into the Buckeyes is Kirk Herbstreit. Following Week 3, he has Ohio State up to No. 3 on his list of the top four teams in the country. Clemson, Alabama, and LSU make up the rest of his top four with Georgia and Oklahoma the first two teams out of the Playoff.

There’s still a long way to go to the postseason, but at least the Buckeyes are firing on all cylinders to start the year. Ohio State will face Miami (OH) in Week 4.
