I'm not sold so far on Ohio State. I find the Buckeye overpriced against a Western Kentucky team that is very potent on offense with a very good quarterback.

Throw in a look-ahead sport for Ohio State with its marquee matchup against Notre Dame up next and I'll take this many points with the Hilltoppers.

Who has Ohio State played? Nobody really. The Buckeyes are 2-0 with wins against Indiana, a lower tier Big Ten team, and Youngstown State. Ohio State didn't cover in either game. Kyle McCord has emerged as Ohio State's starting QB, but he's unproven. The Buckeyes' running game ranks 88th.

Austin Reed is anything but unproven. He led the nation in passing yards for Western Kentucky with 4,744 last season. He had a 40-to-11 touchdown-to-interception ratio and scored another eight TD's rushing.

The Hilltoppers are averaging 46.5 points this year in rolling past South Florida and Houston Christian.
