jthomas694	4	Road win against Notre Dame was thrilling, arguably the best game of the year. Went on the road and beat a legit Notre Dame team that's strong on both sides of the ball. Ohio State's defense is legit - holding Notre Dame to just 14 points and there are enough elements on offense to believe that they can round that out.

bretticus733	5	It was an impressive physical win over Notre Dame. The Buckeyes defense played great and the offense got it done when needed. I still want to see more out of Ohio State’s offense, but as McCord gets more comfortable within the starting role the Buckeyes should be contending for the B1G

Due_Connection179	5	Last Week #7 at #9 Notre Dame : Won 17 - 14. Ohio State being #5 has basically everything to do with their offense. Their defense might be the best in the FBS, as it is averaging just 8.5 PPG (and gave up only 14 pts to a Notre Dame team who was averaging nearly 50 PPG coming in). They have two ranked games coming up (at least in my rankings): vs #20 Maryland and vs #6 Penn State. I would like to see Ohio State both win and cover the next few games, and hopefully we can see this offense click more (and not rely almost all on Marvin Harrison Jr). Next Week : Bye Week

GatorBolt	5	A complete Gut-Check of a win. 2023 Ohio State is undoubtedly not as flashy as recent teams, and heck I thought they would lose. But escaping South Bend with a win deserves all the credit. As Ryan Day showed, this is the type of game that makes you have beef with an elderly Lou Holtz. God I love College Football.

nw____	5	Great win against ND. I still have a few questions about McCord, but you can be pretty ok and still kill it with those receivers. Marvin Harrison Jr.'s health is something I'll be watching.

Midnight-Mustang	2	Ohio State officially has the best win of 2023, joining Texas as one of just two teams with a top-10 win on the road. Ohio State showed some grit in South Bend, and showed me that they're the real deal. With a win like that, they jump to #2.

throwaway_6786	2	That win was about as close as they come. Even still, that was one of the best wins so far, especially since it was in South Bend, and Ohio State has improved with each passing week. For now, the @ND win is just enough to propel them to #2, but they'll need to keep it up to stay this high.
