I don't really care about the perceived level of competition the last few weeks.

That argument holds water when you win one game, maybe two against lesser teams. But four straight games of 50 points-or-more, five straight games without allowing a rushing touchdown, leading the country in scoring, yards per game and yards per play and doing it with a redshirt freshman quarterback who's only started six games in his career is absolutely insane.

Add in a true freshman tailback who is inserting himself into the conversation to become the greatest running back in Ohio State history, the best wide receiving corps in the country and a defense that has adapted since an early season debacle and you're talking about a team that absolutely has national championship aspirations.

Ohio State completely and totally slaughtered Indiana on Saturday night. After allowing the Hoosiers to go down the field and score on the opening drive, they held IU to 53 yards of offense for the entire rest of the game ... and 17 of those came while they ran out the clock on the final four plays of the night.

Add in the offensive firepower and the continued growth of a young quarterback that is making great play after great play and you've got a total juggernaut.
