The Nov. 4 battle between the Buckeyes and Scarlet Knights will be Ohio State's second appearance on CBS this fall, as Ohio State defeated Indiana 23-3 in its 2023 season opener – a contest that became CBS' most-watched Week 1 matchup in 25 years. It will also be Ohio State’s fourth noon game in five weeks, as each of its last three games (Maryland, Purdue, Penn State) have kicked off in the early time slot, though this week’s game against Wisconsin will be a 7:30 p.m. game on NBC.
Ohio State is ranked No. 3 in the latest AP Poll and Coaches Poll. The Buckeyes' résumé features two of the best wins in college football, including a 17-14 road win over then-No. 9 Notre Dame in Week 4 and a 20-12 home win over then-No. 7 Penn State in Week 7. This weekend, Ohio State travels to Camp Randall Stadium to face a Luke Fickell-coached Wisconsin team, which possesses a 5-2 record and sits atop the Big Ten West.
Rutgers has been one of the surprise teams in college football this season, collecting a 6-2 record through eight weeks. The Scarlet Knights have defeated Northwestern, Temple, Virginia Tech, Wagner, Michigan State and Indiana, while their losses have come at the hands of Michigan and Wisconsin. Rutgers is off this weekend.
In nine all-time matchups between Ohio State and Rutgers, the Buckeyes are a perfect 9-0, outscoring the Scarlet Knights 477-98 in the contests for an average outcome of 53-12 in favor of Ohio State.
