Yeah, kind of feels like a 30+ point margin.

That’s a huge blow for them. If I’m a buckeye fan I’m pretty nervous about Saturday.

Just saw that An Ohio St University might be down two starting OL.

Put all of your money on Indiana to cover.

Put your money up then. We can have a $100 bet between us if you’re down.

Plenty of people thought they were going to cover before the report came out.

LT was already out. Starting center is now out for the season.

2days to practice and a walk through to get up to speed. You know that game plan was adjusted as well.

Luckily for osu they’re at home their last two games so communication shouldn’t be an issue.

More of an indictment on “#5 Indiana” than Ohio St

Weird set-up CFB has going.

Ohio State is ranked #2 in the country but if they lose to #5 Indiana they're probably out of a 12- team playoff unless the Committee just wants to put every Big10 team in there. Strange monster these playoffs have created.

They are Ohio State. A ratings darling. Unless they lose to both Indians and Michigan, they are in.

You’re looking at it completely wrong. They are ranked 2 and only 5 in seeding because another Big Ten is currently 1. If they lose this weekend, they will probably fall to around 8 in ranking and 10 in seeding.

They are absolutely in as long as they don’t get crushed and win against Michigan.

They've been down the starting tight end (who is an excellent blocker) and the starting LT since the Oregon game. The second string LT was injured against Wisconsin I believe.

The good news is that the starting tight end is expected to practice this week and the current LG started at center all of last year. It's a bit patchwork but there is experience there so it's not all gloom and doom.

Hey, look what 12 Gauge did in 2014.

If they lose to Indiana, Indiana is in....Oregon is already in....Penn State has frickin' Minny and Maryland and if they don't stumble...They're easily in.

And then you have all the SEC teams..... And the other Conference champs. Ohio State is precariously close to being left out if they lose to Indiana. People are sleeping on how this could shape out and how wonky this Playoff system is designed.

They shouldn’t be in at all much less easily.

Penn State win is going to keep Ohio State in whether win or lose. They'll probably drop to around 9 to 10 (behind ~2 or so 2 loss SEC teams), but they'll still be in.

Indiana is the challenging one - they will have no wins against the top 25 and only one win against a winning team (potentially two if Michigan wins out). I think they're good, but that's a terrible resume.

Just my two cents, but the OL issues for Ohio State gives Michigan a fighter’s chance next week, as their defensive line interior is dominant.

Now, not sure how Michigan still generates points. That’s a whole other matter. But I could see them creating havoc in the middle.

I thought Ohio State would win big until they lost their starting center this week.
Now they are down both starting tackles & their starting center.

Ohio st. Will destroy Michigan. Day will not let up on them. Making up for 3 years of frustration.
