The second-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes already have two impressive wins over ranked teams so far this season – but those came at home. On Saturday, OSU makes its first road trip of the season and it’s a dandy: at No. 13 Kansas, certainly one of the Top 5 toughest places to play in the nation. Bet on the game with Bodog’s NCAA basketball odds.

The Buckeyes (8-0) handled then-No. 8 Florida by seven back on Nov. 16 and throttled No. 4 Duke 85-63 on Nov. 29 in probably the most dominant performance by any team so far this season. And OSU warmed up for this one with an easy 64-35 win over Texas-Pan American last Saturday. Buckeyes superstar Jared Sullinger, probably the early candidate for Player of the Year, sat that one out with back spasms but will play in this one. Sullinger has been averaging 19.1 points and 10.3 rebounds.
 
Kansas (6-2) has faced two ranked teams this year as well but lost both on a neutral court: 75-65 to then-No. 2 Kentucky on Nov. 15 and 68-61 to those Duke Blue Devils in Maui. The Jayhawks have won three in a row since the Duke loss but were pushed on Tuesday night at home by Long Beach State before prevailing 88-80. KU has its own superstar in Thomas Robinson and he had a career-high 26 points to go with 11 boards against LBSU. The Sullinger-Robinson matchup should be fascinating.
 
KU and OSU haven’t met since 2000. The Bucks are 3-1 ATS this year, all at home. Kansas is 4-4 ATS and 3-1 ATS at home (LBSU covered). If OSU wins and Kentucky loses later Saturday at Indiana, the Buckeyes are the nation’s top team.
