I think we could possibly win Saturday if Ohio State is uninterested, or they rest Smith/Tate etc.
But I don't think we have much of a chance vs Ohio State with them at full strength and foaming at the mouth.
I don't think anyone outside the SEC has a prayer because I think the SEC is the only conference with athletes that can at least compete with Ohio State.
The BYU's, Texas Tech's etc. don't have a chance, the talent gap is just too big.

I’m not scared of OSU personally. We do have a common opponent

Texas ?

Ohio State played them in the season opener.
Doesn't really mean a lot in December/January

There are easily 6-7 teams in the field capable of beating them on the right day.

Even if you're the best team it's hard to win every game.

The downside of walking through the season is you don't know what your weaknesses are, and when somebody finds it you better hope you can adjust.

Nobody has really played up tempo against them, I think that'd be one thing to push

I don’t see how Bama beats them. The Tide can’t run the ball, and that Buck State defense is legit. If you let that D just play against the pass and stop the run with base defense it’s going to be tough

I think IU has the best chance to beat them this Saturday of anyone until the CFP final.

I think UGA or maybe ND is it. I'm not convinced OSU is better than their team last year. But, the rest of the sport is down, too.

Indiana.

But the majority of people won’t believe that because all they know about them is their history which has ZERO to do with this game. ZERO.

Indiana is a DAMN good football team. I’m excited to watch this one.

Problem is it's basically an exhibition game.

I’m interested to see them against IU on Saturday. I think Georgia is the best team equipped to beat them.

Ah yes, the season opener where Day purposely limited the offense to avoid throwing Sayin to the wolves in his first start.

Agreed, Day said that in the post conference after the Texas game.

I've been saying all year that GA has the physicality to play with OSU. GAs offense is very inconsistent though
