Desmond Howard Calls Ohio State 'Overrated,' Says 8-0 Indiana Should Be No. 1

Howard argues Indiana’s resume, highlighted by a road win at Oregon, now outstrips Ohio State’s.

Overview

  • The former Heisman winner made his case during College GameDay’s Week 10 show in Salt Lake City, labeling Ohio State as slightly overrated at No. 1.
  • Howard pointed to Indiana’s 30-20 victory in Eugene on Oct. 12 as the signature result that justifies elevating the Hoosiers.
  • Ohio State has held the AP Poll’s top spot since Week 2 after a season-opening 14-7 win over preseason No. 1 Texas.
  • Pat McAfee shot back on-air by mocking the Buckeyes’ schedule, referencing blowout wins over Grambling and Wisconsin.
  • Indiana coach Curt Cignetti signed a contract extension reportedly worth $11.6 million annually as the 8-0 Hoosiers head to Maryland, with the first CFP rankings due Tuesday.
