Ohio State already has a win over a ranked team for an early-season resume booster. That came in the opener against Texas. Then the Buckeyes lost at Texas A&M last Friday to fall back out of the rankings.
The Buckeyes won their second straight nonconfrence game on Friday, however. Ohio State will look to make it three on Monday when Green Bay comes to Columbus.
