  • Ohio State has lost their last game until the playoff. I'd give the nod in the OSU-PSU game to whoever plays at home and that's OSU this year.

    • Iowa-PSU might be another 6-4 special.

      • PSU is still getting a lot of love for beating Wisconsin in Madison. Last week showed that isn't such a big deal after all. But, they're PSU, and sportswriters/broadcasters love Franklin.

        I'd consider making Iowa a favorite to beat PSU by a couple TD's, but what I've seen of Iowa, all they are is Lloyd-Ball 2021. I'm not sure if just PSU is over-rated. Iowa may be too.

        I still get the feeling that PSU is going to get Kinnicked, but I'd feel better about that if it was a 8:00 local kickoff.

        • Iowa is +12 on turnovers. And they have 3 non-offensive TDs. It's not sustainable.

          As usual, they have a completely undeserved reputation of being good at running the ball.

          • Well to be fair PSU beat Auburn too.

            • Teams can carry on unsustainable turnover margins for a long time.

              • If they are forcing them, it's somewhat sustainable otherwise it's just luck.

                • The Alabama defense is not good. At least before Saturday, anyway. Saturday they performed. You can check the stats I posted the last few weeks for reference. Offense is a decided step-off from last year, as well.

                  That said, there is probably only one team in the nation playing better than us and unfortunately that team is in the SEC.

                    • That said, most of the time when I talk about Alabama, I am comparing a unit or a position to the Alabama standard.

                      For example, the defensive issues I have talked about. Alabama is usually top 10 in rush defense. We are currently 31st. I am aware that is (barely) in the top quartile for the 130 Div1 teams, and many of those teams would be pleased to report that, but it is a decided drop from what we normally enjoy.

                          I have never suggested that we are as incompetent as Nebraska. We haven’t been Scott Frost bad since Mike Shula.

                                You obviously (a) have never watched Ohio State in 2021; (b) don't know the first thing about football; (c) are possessed of The Wizard's cognitive reasoning "skills"; (d) are generally malodorous, malevolent and malignant; or (e) all of the above and then some.

                                In short, pull your head out of your fucking ass....Ohio State is trash...TRASH
