**Columbus, OH** – The No. 3 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes will look to continue their dominant start to the season when they host Marshall on Saturday. Coming off convincing wins over Akron and Western Michigan, the Buckeyes are favored by a whopping 39.5 points against the Thundering Herd, who have been bowl eligible for the past three seasons.

With a Big Ten matchup against Michigan State looming, head coach Ryan Day will be hoping to keep his team focused on the task at hand against a potential upset-minded Marshall team.

**Ann Arbor, MI** – The No. 18 ranked Michigan Wolverines face a much tougher test this week, hosting the No. 11 ranked USC Trojans in a highly anticipated Big Ten on CBS showdown. The Trojans are favored by 4.5 points in their first-ever Big Ten matchup.
