VS
The Buckeyes came into the game ranked 3rd in the country, and assuming this was the closest thing to bye week.  Yet as Ohio State was putting the Golden Flashes behind them with a 48-3 victory, the number 1 and 2 teams were losing.  Result ... the Scarlet & Gray are on top of the BCS standings. It is easier said than done but if they can run the table, they will be back in the championship game.  Will this young team be able to handle this type of national attention?

It was good to see Andre Amos (13) back from his injury
