They can't worry about what other teams do, but otherwise I agree. A 2-3 minimum in these next 5 games is critical. If you look at ESPN analytics, the Wisconsin home game is the only one OSU is expected to win, but even that one is dicey because Wisconsin has already won on the road at UM and Illinois, and of course OSU was unable to stop their offense in the first matchup. The Virginia game is the second-most likely according to ESPN, but that one could be tougher than meets the eye as well because OSU tends to be offense-heavy and defense-poor, and a matchup against a team like UVA who's defense-oriented and somewhat offensively challenged doesn't tend to work. I do think that they could have a chance in a couple of the other games but it's not looking good if I'm being perfectly honest.With the 5 game stretch starting Saturday I think they are gonna need a lot of help in terms of the other bubble teams losing, unless they can manage a couple of upsets. They probably need to go no worse than 2-3 in these 5 to keep the hope alive without a deep B1G tournament run.
