*** official THE Ohio State University @ TEXAS +2.5 9/9

[Utah]

Can someone explain to a college football betting novice how the heck Ohio State is a dog in this one? I watched the Ohio State game last week and they were awesome. I didn't see Texas play but there is no reason to think Ohio is a dog to them is there? Does texas present some particularly difficult matchups or is the assumption Ohio State is overrated preseason?
