Ohio State Buckeyes Cruise Past Bobcats, Eyeing Illinois Showdown
11 Sep
Summary
- Ohio State Buckeyes ranked No. 1 ahead of Week 3 matchup
- Michigan Wolverines look to rebound after suspension and loss
- Minnesota Golden Gophers seek significant bowl implications

As the 2025 college football season enters Week 3, the defending national champions, the Ohio State Buckeyes, continue to dominate the rankings, sitting firmly at No. 1. The Buckeyes are set to face the Ohio Bobcats this weekend, and they are expected to cruise past their in-state non-conference foe without much difficulty.
While the Buckeyes are unlikely to face a true test until their October matchup against Illinois, the Michigan Wolverines are looking to rebound from a Week 2 loss against Oklahoma. Head coach Sherrone Moore has been suspended for the next two games due to his involvement in a sign-stealing scandal, but the Wolverines are determined to bounce back and make a statement.
Elsewhere in the Big Ten, the Minnesota Golden Gophers are aiming to secure a significant bowl bid as they take on the California Golden Bears. Head coach P.J. Fleck has quietly guided the Golden Gophers to four straight bowl games, and this weekend's matchup will have major implications for both teams' postseason aspirations.
