Corrigan elaborated more on the Buckeyes earned the top spot on a conference call with media from around the country. "The win against Penn State, the win at Notre Dame, the win at Wisconsin – they've proven they can do it at home, they've proven they can do it on the road," Corrigan said."They have explosive plays.
