Chaos erupted over the weekend, with 11 of the top 25 teams going down, but the Ohio State Buckeyes took care of business on the road, delivering a 52-24 beatdown of the Maryland Terrapins. ESPN's Brad Edwards thinks the Buckeyes may be the biggest beneficiary of all the upsets as that moves them right back into the College Football Playoff discussion.

"You start looking at (Ohio State)," Edwards said Monday, on the SVP and Russillo radio show. "On one hand, Virginia Tech is probably gonna lose a few more games and that loss is gonna look worse and worse as you go forward. On the other hand, the Selection Committee has the ability to sit there as a group and discuss and say, 'You know what, I'm gonna give them a little bit of a pass. It was week two, freshman quarterback, replacing four starters on the offensive line. Look at what they are now compared to what they were then.' They can do that. That's one of the things the Selection Committee has in their arsenal; the ability to have those conversations. People go nuts over the fact that you could conceivably forgive a loss, because when would that have ever been done, with the polls, with the computers, anything. And I'm not saying they will, but it is something that's out there as a possibility."

The Buckeyes are on a bye this week, before hosting Rutgers on Oct. 18.
