Ohio State is 9-3 all time against Washington, with the most recent meeting coming in the 2019 Rose Bowl. OSU won that contest, Urban Meyer's last as the Buckeyes' coach, 28-23. That extended Ohio State's win streak over Washington to four straight. OSU is 4-2 in Seattle.

Ohio State's No. 1 scoring defense, coming off a bye, faces one of its toughest early-season tests against Washington's high-powered offense led by quarterback Demond Williams Jr. and running back Jonah Coleman. The Huskies rank second in the FBS with 55.7 points per game.

Jonah Coleman has quickly become the heartbeat of Washington’s offense this season. Hailing from Stockton, California, Coleman leads the FBS with nine rushing TDs, averages 6.8 yards per carry.

Ohio State made a compelling case to remain at the top of the polls. As it opened Big Ten play at Washington on Sept. 27, it ended the Huskies’ 22-game home winning streak and contained the nation’s highest-scoring offense in a 24-6 win to improve to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in conference.

It looked like No. 1 Ohio State was going to have a four-quarter fight on its hands at Washington on Saturday before pulling away for a 24-6 win on the road. The Buckeyes' dominant defense kept the Huskies out of the end zone, allowing just six points on three drives that reached the 30.

Indiana football moved up three spots to No. 9 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll after a 20-15 win over Iowa on Saturday. The Hoosiers also moved up three spots to No. 8 in the Associated Press poll.
