Wisconsin is 2-2 in Peacock-only games this season: a big win over Arizona, tough losses to Michigan and Illinois, then a decisive home win over Minnesota. Ohio State enters ranked No. 32 in KenPom. That slot is far below the trio of top teams listed, but also a substantial step above Minnesota’s ranking of No. 114.
