The Ohio State Buckeyes didn't just win the Big-10 Title Game, they took the Badgers behind the woodshed for an old fashioned whuppin'. The Buckeyes won the game by a score of 59-0 nothing, and their third string QB Cardale Jones threw for 257 yards and three TDs. The Buckeyes still aren't getting any respect, as a huge dog to Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. I'll take the points.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Buckeyes Defense - Pitching a shutout against the Badgers was impressive, but holding the Nation's leading rusher to less than three yards per carry was perhaps even more telling.


2. Injuries - The Tide's top RB T.J. Yeldon has been battling an ankle injury, and he's officially listed as a game time decision.

3 . X-Factor - The Crimson Tide are 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8 non-conference games.

Selection: This is a play on the Ohio State Buckeyes (10*)
