The Ohio State Buckeyes are coming off an impressive season. They made it all the way to the College Football Playoff Championship game where they came up short against Alabama. Redshirt freshman C.J. Stroud will replace Justin Fields at quarterback, but several reliable targets and running back Master Teague III returns.

The Gophers went 3-4 in conference play last year and ranked near the bottom in most defensive categories. I don't see the Gophers keeping pace with the Buckeyes, despite home field advantage.

8* play on Ohio State Buckeyes.
