By most measures, the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes are considered the best team in college football this season.
The Buckeyes are 10-0. First-year starting quarterback Julian Sayin is a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender, while wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and safety Caleb Downs may well be the best offensive and defensive players in the country, respectively.

On the other end of the spectrum, you have the D3 Oberlin Yeomen. The Yeomen, who play in the North Coast Athletic Conference, are 0-10 on the year, and are being outscored, on average, 57-5.10.
Oberlin opened the season with an 88-6 loss to Calvin College. It has conceded more than 60 points four times and more than 70 points twice, and only twice have the Yeoman scored in double figures.
So, what exactly would happen if Oberlin stepped onto the field with Ohio State?

According to ESPN’s Bill Connnelly, who created and runs the company’s SP+ metric, the Buckeyes would be 153-point favorites over the Yeoman.
And, given the 88-6 loss to Calvin, somehow that number doesn’t seem large enough? In fact, the only thing keeping it to 153 feels like the fact that the game is time-limited.
Oberlin, which ranked 767th of the 767 college football teams in the country, lost its last game of the season to No. 650 Ohio Wesleyan, 35-0.
On the other side of that coin, top-ranked Division 2 program Harding is listed as a slight favorite over former Big 12 power Oklahoma State.
Who knows how these games would actually play out? And we’ll never get the chance to find out. But that’s a rough look for Oberlin, and somehow even rougher for Oklahoma State.
