Our friends over at College Football News have provided us with their updated bowl projections after the completion of Week 5, and it appears the Ohio State Buckeyes’ position within the projections has stayed the same. This makes sense considering Ohio State has been extremely impressive so far this season.
It was another insane week in the Big Ten with Ryan Day and Greg Schiano almost coming to blows during the Ohio State Buckeyes and Rutgers Scarlet Knights contest, the Michigan Wolverines flexed their muscle against the Iowa Hawkeyes, and, of course, the Wisconsin Badgers were embarrassed by the Illinois Fighting Illinois.
