No I’m not I said ND is a top 3 team who may not get in bc they lost a head to head.

OSU is doing something historic this season so far and people are acting like they are doing it in the sun belt.

Having said all of that Hartline may have just taken a HC job which is a massive distraction.

Not just OSU related but the calendar needs a fix with recruiting and transfers and coaching changes

OSU has the best defense in the country. Offense is so so. Who has an offense or offensive coordinator that can formulate a game plan to beat them? Asking, because I don't know.

Mr,Buckeye06

One thing is for sure? When you Kick Indiana arse Saturday, all the na sayers will say Indiana was overrated. Book it. I don’t see anyone beating them, the D is to good.

I don’t see anyone saying that. In fact, quite the opposite. Most people think Ohio state is the best team in the country, but they’re not some unbeatable juggernaut.

5 of their last 6 opponents that they beat up on had a combined record of 10-35 in Big Ten play. Indiana had nearly as many wins as all of them combined.

The only thing that worries me with Bama is how much they have struggled in the running game this season.

Any Big Ten or SEC team has a legitimate shot at beating OSU. This is college football and the talent level differential is small between these teams.

I don't think so.

It remains to be seen whether Indiana has the chops - I think they do, but we'll have a much better idea after Saturday. I think Oregon likely does on a good day, but the taste of last year's game lingers.

Regarding the SEC, Georgia could. I think Alabama would be competitive, but they are too inconsistent with a shite run game and seem a bit soft at times to actually beat them. A&M might - they are explosive enough on offense that they could get them on a good day. Ole Miss (even before Kiffin) and Oklahoma would have no shot.
