I respect Urban Meyer and Ohio State's depth, but the Buckeyes are in too bad of shape for this Big Ten title matchup.
The Buckeyes are down to third-stringer Cardale Jones at quarterback after J.T. Barrett suffered a broken ankle during the Buckeyes' highly-emotional 42-28 win over arch-rival Michigan last week. The Buckeyes also had to endure the death of one of their players. So it's been a hellish roller coaster ride for them.
Wisconsin is very steady and features the person I consider the best college running back in the country, Melvin Gordon. The combination of the Badgers' No. 2 ranked defense facing off against a young, untested quarterback in a monster spot and Gordon is enough to put me on Wisconsin.
It does not hurt, either, that Wisconsin QB Joel Stave has stepped up after a slow start. He's completed 66.7 percent during the last four games with four touchdown passes, which is better than it may look since the Badgers are such a heavy run-oriented team.
