Over the past few years Ohio State has shown the ability to fail to show up. Purdue, Iowa. They were flat against the team up North last year. Inexcusable. They better get their running game in order today. If they don't handle the team from the North this year I will head a committee to find a coach who can.
Is Earle Bruce still available? Jon Cooper?

@Brick said: Over the past few years Ohio State has shown the ability to fail to show up.
Current Head Coach Ryan Day has a 42-4 record with two of the losses coming in the playoffs, so I don't know when the Buckeyes have "failed to show up" for games. If losing on average once/season qualifies for that then just about every team in the NCAA "fails to show up" several times each year. I think I understand what you're trying to say, losing to an opponent you should beat, but that was more a symptom of Urban Meyer.
Ohio State may lose to Michigan again this year but the Wolverines have a pretty good team.
@Goldenage said: How did they ever lose a kid like Joe Burrow?
They didn't lose him, he lost them because he was the 3rd QB on the depth chart. When he was a Buckeye during the 2017 season he suffered a broken hand and wound up behind Dwayne Haskins and J.T. Barrett. Also, he didn't play at Ohio State because he didn't fit into the scheme being used at the time by Urban Meyer. Some will argue the point, but at the time Burrow transferred to LSU he wasn't a very good QB, certainly not fully developed. That didn't happen till the end of the 2018 season and during the 2019 Heisman/Championship year for LSU.
If you consider where Burrow was at the time compared to where the other OSU QB's were it was an easy decision, one most Head Coaches I'm sure would have made.
LSU is overrated as is most sec teams. Will be surprised if they dont lose by at least 2 td's today. If ND doesn't beat Clemson then Clemson is going undefeated and will get a playoff spot over a one loss sec team.
I bet Nick Saban is warning his team to watch out, he's played enough "over rated" LSU teams in Death Valley to know what to expect!! The game tonight is must watch TV.

Bama has won 10 out of the last 11 against LSU. Go to bed. Bama wins again.
@coolstanley said:

Is that why the SEC has won the Championship 3 years in a row, with 3 different teams?
LSU, Bama and Georgia.
Nah, by your logic the two years that Clemson won the Championship means the ACC were the best conference that year. Sec teams are overrated every year if you take off your sec goggles. Case in point...in 2015 the playoff committee put Mississippi state at #1 LOL.
The conditions at Northwestern were pretty bad and the Buckeyes were without TreVeon Henderson, he didn't even travel, which meant Miyan Williams was the only RB available for Ohio State. There were only 20 completed passes in the game by both teams combined and the kicking game was pretty much non-existent: the punters would kick for 30 yards into the wind and 70 yards with the wind!!
The Buckeyes seemed to be more affected by the wind and slippery field then the Wildcats. It was a weird game and pretty hard to sit still through.
Clemson goes down......................Alabama goes down.......................looks like a major reshuffling of the top 10 on Tuesday and some teams suddenly have a shot at the playoffs which should make things interesting for the next few weeks.
Clemson could still get in as a one loss conference champ. But TCU will have to lose a game. The committee will probably go with two sec teams, the BIG TEN Champ and choose between clemson, a one loss TCU(If they lose a game) and a one loss PAC 12 champ.

Hats off to LSU. Brian Kelly going for 2 was a gutsy call and it paid off.
As for Bama, they've lost 2 games on the final play by a total of 4 points....where's that 12 team playoff?
When you have to kick 4 field goals instead of tds you're in trouble. Our offensive line still hasn't blocked anybody.

I dropped OSU down because of their offensive struggles against NW.
I know, I know, but NW played in the wind and rain too.
@Bullsitter said: I dropped OSU down because of their offensive struggles against NW.
These things have be judged objectively. Ohio State allowed a TD at 6:43 of the 1st quarter and nothing else. Against Penn State they played a tough opponent and dominated in the 4th quarter. They were criticized for not steamrolling Notre Dame, but now the Irish just dominated Clemson. Most teams in both the Big 10 and the SEC are pretty good and have the ability to surprise us which is why the only thing that really counts is a win or a loss.
I look at that game like this: Ohio State was favored by 37 points and won by 14. That means the wind and rain cost them 23 points. If you watched it nobody could pass effectively, nobody could kick effectively. That left running as the only option and Ohio State only had one RB. It wasn't until Ryan Day decided to call on Stroud to run that the game was decided.
Mayhood is correct. No offense is going to score 40 or 50 points in 50 mile an hour wind. OSU have won all their games in double digits, while Georgia beat a team with a losing record by 4 points.
What was Alabama's "excuse" yesterday?? They clearly(to me at least) have the better team than both LSU and Tennessee, yet they lost to both of them. Maybe they just aren't as good as I thought they were.
Lot of football yet to be played. Opportunity for teams to move up. This week two teams in the playoffs lost and dropped out. One team showed a lack of ability to play blood and guts, run it down your throat football. (Woody is rolling over in his grave) The loser of the OSU -Team up North game will be out. Any team that has already lost must win out. Could Alabama be the first two loss team to get in? OSU did not look like a top four team yesterday for the first time. Alabama has not looked like they could sniff the top four each time I saw them, although I have not seen a lot of them.
Alabama might wind up playing Illinois in the Liberty Bowl... again. Illinois in the Liberty Bowl was the last game Bear Bryant coached before retiring... you might get a rematch. Illinois makes more sense than Purdue and after the lapse in judgment and performance of the Illini squad against MSU, this seems plausible even though 48 hrs earlier I would have laughed at the idea. I suspect I would have company laughing while today it seems plausible
