College football's biggest trap games in 2026: Texas, Ohio State among teams that face sneaky tests
These eight potential CFP contenders should beware -- you can't take anything for granted in college football
Ohio State at Nebraska, Nov. 21
The Buckeyes have not lost the game preceding Michigan under Ryan Day, but there was a close call at Maryland in 2022 when Ohio State was ranked No. 2 and unbeaten.Day has been nearly untouchable against non-elite opponents during his tenure, so this one drips with nobody-will-see-it-coming measures. The toughest assignment for the Buckeyes is keeping their eyes on the Huskers with Michigan looming at Ohio Stadium.
Matt Rhule hasn't beaten a ranked opponent with the Huskers and could get as many as five opportunities to do so this fall. Nebraska signed former Virginia and UNLV star Anthony Colandrea in the portal after losing Dylan Raiola to Oregon. Nebraska's only win in 11 tries against Ohio State came in Lincoln during the 2011 season, a 34-27 decision that led to a coaching change a few months later, with Urban Meyer eventually taking over

Too soon old, too late smart
Losing Raiola will give them a personal 'edge' like no one's business. Whether the talent is there to back it up is questionable. Now really in the 'know' to know whether they gained more talent in the portal than they lost. So regardless, their first team might give a fight, their two's won't be in the same league as the Buckeyes, so color this a win for the good guys. 48-14.

11W: FanDuel has it at -3.5 now.
FanDuel lists Ohio State as a 3.5-point favorite over the 6-4 Huskers as the Buckeyes travel to Lincoln for their last road game of the season. The point total is set at 43.5 for the Big Ten matchup.
The 3.5-point line is the third-closest spread for an Ohio State game this season. The Buckeyes were favored by three points against Indiana, while they were a 2.5-point underdog against Texas.

This one is going to be tight.
Both offenses are going to be challenged by the opposing defense.
OSU has Smith
UNL has a dual threat QB and some guys while not USC/Oregon level are most certainly more dangerous than anyone Northwestern had.
Field position,penalties and turnovers are going to be a big part.
My biggest concern is the OSU defense giving up explosive plays. It’s a real problem.
