Julian Sayin threw three touchdown passes, including a 35-yarder to Jeremiah Smith on a fourth down in the second quarter, and No. 1 Ohio State beat No. 15 Michigan 27-9 in a dominant performance on Saturday. The defending national champion Buckeyes (12- 0, 9-0 Big Ten, No. 1 CFP) likely earned a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff. They can keep their top seed with a win against No. 2 Indiana (12-0, 9-0, No. 2 CFP) in the conference championship game Saturday night in Indianapolis. Ryan Day should sleep well, a year after losing The Game when his team was favored by about three touchdowns. The upset extended his losing streak in the series to four games and sparked speculation he might also lose his job.The Wolverines (9-3, 7-2) star ted strong with two field goals and an interception on the first three possessions of the game, but couldn't generate pressure when Ohio State wanted to pass. Just Sayin. After throwing an interception on his second snap, the redshirt freshman took advan tage of the time and space he had to throw. Sayin was 6 of 6 for 68 yards with two touchdowns on third and fourth down in the first half, including a 4-yard throw to Brandon Inniss with 16 seconds left that made it 17-9 at the break. He finished 19 of 26 for 233 yards and threw for at least three touchdowns for the sixth time this season. - Ohio State/AP College Football

Vanderbilt stayed No. 14 while Michigan moved up three spots to No. 15.Texa s is No. 16, USC is No. 17, Virginia is No. 18, Tennessee is No. 19 and Arizona State is No. 20.

If he opts to leave Ole Miss, making him unavailable to coach the team in the CFP, the selection committee could take his departure into account when ranking the Rebels. - ESPN College Football

Julian Sayin threw two touchdown passes despite missing his top two playmakers, Bo Jackson rushed for 110 yards and a pair of scores and top-ranked Ohio State pulled away in the second half for a 42-9 victory over Rutgers on Saturday. The Buckeyes (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) started off slow with wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate sidelined because of injuries. Smith is one of the nation's top receivers with 69 receptions for 902 yards and 10 touchdowns. The sophomore did not play the second half of last week's win over UCLA and appeared to favor his right leg. Tate was sidelined for a third straight game. The junior has 39 catches for 711 yards and seven TDs but has been held out since being injured during pregame warmups at Purdue on Nov. 8 in wh at coach Ryan Day described as lower leg tightness. Ohio State led 14-3 at halftime but then scored on four consecutive second-half drives to get some breathing room and turn its focus to next week's matchup at rival Michigan. Sayin - who completed 13 of 19 for 157 yards - capped an 11-play, 98-yard drive with a 7-yard TD pass to Brandon Inniss in the back corner of the end zone late in the second quarter to make it 14-3.It was a perfect pass by Sayin, as Inniss hauled it in near the back pylon w hile being covered by Rutgers cornerback Jacobie Henderson. Sayin's other TD pass came midway through the third quarter when tight end Max Klare was wide open in the end zone for an 11-yard score to extend the lead to 21-3. Klare was Ohio State's leading receiver with seven catches for 105 yards. With the injuries at receiver, Ohio State had 38 running plays to 22 passing. Jackson had seven carries for 51 yards on his first possession, but fumbled into the end zone. The freshman opened the scoring with 4:01 left in the first quarter on a 15-yard run up the middle. He also had a 10-yard TD late in the third quarter to make it 28-3. CJ Donaldson and James Peoples also had rushing scores. Antwan Raymond had a 1-yard run up the middle in the fourth quarter for Rutgers' lone TD. The 2-point conversion was no good. The sophomore, who came into the game second in the Big Ten in rushing, had 15 carries for 52 yards. Athan Kaliakmanis was 10 of 20 passing for 81 yards for Rutgers (5-6, 2-6). - Ohio State/AP Co llege Football

Julian Sayin threw for 303 yards and one touchdown Saturday and No. 1 Ohio State used four straight scoring drives in the second quarter to pull away from Purdue 34-10. Jeremiah Smith finished with a season-high 10 catches for 137 yards and caught a 35-y ard TD pass to break open the game. It was his 10th scoring catch of the season and the 25th of his career, tying him with Santonio Holmes for sixth on the Buckeyes all-time list. Sayin was 27 of 33 with one interception, and C.J. Donaldson Jr. scored th e first and final touchdowns of the game for Ohio State - both on 1-yard plunges, "They're business-like, they're growing up every day," Buckeyes coach Ryan Day said when asked how he would describe his team. "I think they're edgy, they're competitive, t hey know what they want to get done. They've seen it and they have some perspective on it." The defending national champion Buckeyes (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) extended the nation's longest active winning streak to 13 and remained on pace for a possible Big Ten championship game showdown against No. 2 Indiana. The Hoosiers kept their unbeaten record intact by rallying in the final to earn their first-ever win at Penn State.Ryan Browne was 10 of 19 for 76 yards and one interception for Purdue (2-7, 0-7), which had only 186 total yards on a day Ohio State more than 40 minutes. The Boilermakers have lost seven straight overall and a school record 16 straight against Big Ten foes. Still, they took a 3-0 lead with a 40-yard field goal late in the first quart er but couldn't respond to Ohio State's second-quarter onslaught. "The second quarter got away from us a bit, the long drive, the takeaway, it's hard to overcome those things against a team like this," coach Barry Odom said. "But I saw some things there. I'm going to keep believing that we're going to get back to those winning ways. Donaldson's first scoring run made it 7-3 less than a minute into the second quarter. Smith's TD catch gave the Buckeyes a 14-3 lead. Ohio State then closed the half with a 3-yard touchdown run from Lincoln Kienholz and a career-long 49-yard field goal from Jayden Fielding in the final 72 seconds of the half to make it 24-3. Bo Jackson finished with 75 yards rushing on 14 carries as the Buckeyes ran for 170 yards. - Ohio St ate/AP College Football

If Julian Sayin hadn't already established himself as a Heisman Trophy contender, the Ohio State quarterback certainly strengthened his case on Saturday. "He's the truth," Carnell Tate said after catching two of Sayin's four touchdown passes in the top-r anked Buckeyes' 34-0 victory over Wisconsin. "He's the Heisman winner, ain't no questions, ifs ands or doubts. Each and every week, he goes out and proves he's the Heisman winner." Tate may be a bit biased after catching six of Sayin's passes for 111 yar ds against Wisconsin. But in his first season as Ohio State's starting quarterback, Sayin is putting up numbers that demand Heisman consideration. Sayin went 36 of 42 for a career-high 393 yards against the struggling Badgers. He has completed 80% of his passes this season for 19 touchdowns with three interceptions. Of course, it helps to be throwing to two of college football's top receivers.Jeremiah Smith is a Heisman contender in his own right in an impressive follow-up to his sensational fres hman season. Tate helped put Saturday's game away early by scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter. "We've got two guys who, when it's one-on-one and you're looking both sides, I have full confidence that both these guys are going to go score a touch down for us," Sayin said. Ohio State (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) has an average margin of 25.8 points during an 11-game win streak, which started with its four College Football Playoff victories during its run to the national title last season. The Buckeyes have won their first seven games this season by an average margin of 30.6 points. "That's collectively as good a team as I've prepared for or played against in all phases, just across the board," Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell said. Wisconsin (2-5, 0-4) has suf fered back-to-back shutout losses for the first time since 1977, when the Badgers fell 42-0 to Ohio State and 22-0 to Purdue in successive weeks. Wisconsin was coming off a 37-0 home loss to Iowa. - Ohio State/AP College Football
