The Ohio St. Buckeyes are 18-11 on the season and 10-8 in conference play. They own the #34 KenPom Rating, which means they may have some work to do as they are hovering around the bubble. Ohio St. isn't exactly making a case for itself as it is just 5-6 in their last 11 games. Ohio St. has really struggled on the road, where it is now 1-5 SU in its last six games. Penn St. is in a spoiler role. Penn St. is just 3-13 in its last 16 games, but it has played hard and lost to Michigan by just two. They also beat Iowa by 2 points, lost to USC by 2, and beat Minnesota by 2. Lots of pressure on Ohio St. who has not been up to the challenge. Make the play on Penn St.
