00:00Ohio State listed as jaw-dropping 153-point favorite against worst team in college football.

00:07By most measures, the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes are considered the best team in college football this season.

00:14The Buckeyes are 10-0.

00:17First-year starting quarterback Julian Sayan is a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender,

00:21while wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and safety Caleb Downs may well be the best offensive and defensive players in the country, respectively.

00:28On the other end of the spectrum, you have the D3 Oberlin Yeoman.

00:33The Yeoman, who play in the North Coast Athletic Conference, are 0-10 on the year

00:37and are being outscored on average 57-5.1 in college football this season.

00:42Oberlin opened the season with an 88-6 loss to Calvin College.

00:46It has conceded more than 60 points four times and more than 70 points twice,

00:51and only twice have the Yeoman scored in double figures.

00:54So, what exactly would happen if Oberlin stepped onto the field with Ohio State?

00:59According to ESPN's Bill Connolly, who created and runs the company's SP Plus metric,

01:04the Buckeyes would be 153-point favorites over the Yeoman.

01:09And given the 88-6 loss to Calvin, somehow that number doesn't seem large enough?

01:13In fact, the only thing keeping it to 153 feels like the fact that the game is time-limited.

01:18Oberlin, which ranked 767th of the 767 college football teams in the country,

01:25lost its last game of the season to No. 650 Ohio Wesleyan, 35-0.

01:31On the other side of that coin, top-ranked Division II program Harding

01:34is listed as a slight favorite over former Big 12 power Oklahoma State.

01:40Who knows how these games would actually play out, and we'll never get the chance to find out.

01:45But that's a rough look for Oberlin, and somehow even rougher for Oklahoma State.
