Out of morbid curiosity, I searched back to find out where I got the phrase. Turns out that @zincfinger posted a screen cap from another board in this post that had the phrase...
Doctalksports was prescient in that call, given that was less than a month before OSU gutted Wisconsin and wore their carcass as a skin suit.

Dienhart: Expect SEC teams to sit atop initial CFP rankings
Tom Dienhart, BTN.com Senior Writer via Big Ten Network

How will the top four shake out when the first poll is announced on Halloween? I have Alabama (8-0) on top of my projections. And I think fellow SEC member Georgia (8-0) will be No. 2. Look for Notre Dame (7-1) at No. 3 followed by Ohio State at No. 4.

Lots of Buckeye news out of the NFL this week, including Joey Bosa setting a record and some transaction news.

As Ohio State’s 2017 season continues to elicit memories of the 2014 Championship run, the stars from the CFP history-making team are now setting records at the next level. Joey Bosa and Ezekiel Elliott continue to be the dynamic forces they were when they donned the Scarlet and Grey, and are among an elite group of representatives of Buckeyes in the NFL.

Now halfway through the season, several roster moves were still being made — marking good news for some, and bad news for one — and rookies continuing to prove their value to their new teams. Unfortunately, Week 8 in the season sees more Buckeyes added to IR, with others still sitting on the sideline.

Zeke’s career-high day


After a rookie season that seemed tough to follow, running back Ezekiel Elliott continues to shoulder the load for the Cowboys. During a rainstorm on Sunday, Dallas committed to a ground game, which resulted in a career-high 33 carries for the former Buckeye. He rushed for 150 yards — a season-high and the third highest of his career — and two scores.


Elliott was riding a hot streak with zero fumbles this season heading into the Week 8 matchup, but he couldn’t continue through the rain, and finally gave one up on Sunday.


Entering Week 8, Ezekiel Elliott had 131 carries without a fumble, most among RBs this season

Pryor being phased out in Washington


Months after the free agency debacle with the Cleveland Browns and Terrelle Pryor Sr., the quarterback-turned-receiver has been slowly phased out of Washington’s offense, culminating in zero receptions or rushing yards in Sunday’s loss to Dallas. Sure, the weather was bad and it wasn’t a pass-friendly day, but Kirk Cousins still threw for 263 yards and touchdown, and Pryor is more than capable of getting yards.

Having only signed a one-year deal, Pryor was hoping to earn a big, long-term contract come season’s end — but that seems like a pipe dream at this point. Coming off his first 1,000-plus yard season as a wideout, the Buckeye has followed that up with only 18 receptions (on 33 targets) for 263 yards and one touchdown through Week 8. Those kind of numbers, and seemingly little improvement in the chemistry with Cousins, could leave Pryor back on the free agency market come the spring.

Buckeyes on the move


It was a good and bad week for some former Ohio State players, with Mike Nugent signing with the Cowboys, Joshua Perry being called up to the Colts active roster, and Tyvis Powell being waived from the Seahawks practice squad.

In his first NFL action since the preseason, Nugent went 4-of-5 field goal attempts, and 3-for-3 in point afters. Missing only one kick — especially in the down-pour conditions — had to make the Buckeye happy, having been without a team since Week 1.

Plays of the Week

Marshon Lattimore


The Buckeye rookie is quickly making a big name for himself at the next level, snagging another three total (and solo) tackles and two pass breakups in Week 8. But the real noisemaker was his game-sealing interception late in the fourth. It marks Lattimore’s second NFL pick and third overall turnover. His statline is starting to resemble the one he forged at Ohio State.

Joey Bosa...again


Another day, another ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Bosa set a record with his Tom Brady take down on Sunday, claiming 19 sacks in his first 20 games in the league. After winning Defensive Rookie of the Year, it was hard to imagine the Buckeye getting even better, but he has —and he tag teams quarterbacks with Melvin Ingram in terrifying fashion.

Other Notes

  • Two Buckeyes should see playing time in this week’s edition of Monday Night Football when the Denver Broncos (Jeff Heuerman, Bradley Roby) take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
  • Steelers’ linebacker Ryan Shazier recorded seven tackles, and defended one pass against the Detroit Lions on Sunday night.
  • Week 8 saw the fourth and final international game of the 2017 season, with the Minnesota Vikings (Pat Elflein) and Cleveland Browns facing off in London.
  • Jet’s LB Darron Lee was fined over $45K for last week’s game against the Dolphins, making his season’s total almost $73K. (Yikes.)
  • After missing the past few weeks with an injury, Panthers’ safety Kurt Coleman was back on the field in a big way, claiming nine total tackles on the day, seven solo.
Injury Report and Inactives

  • After tearing both his MCL and ACL last week, Colts rookie Malik Hooker has officially been moved to IR to close out his first year in the league. That marks six total Buckeyes -- two Colts — to finish the 2017 on IR, including: Michael Bennett (Jags), Taylor Decker (Lions), Malik Hooker (Colts), Raekwon McMillan (Dolphins), Jack Mewhort (Colts), Devin Smith (Jets).
  • The Colts — who started the year with four healthy Buckeyes — is down another alumni of the Silver Bullets. Linebacker John Simon has been deemed week-to-week after sustaining a neck stinger in Week 7.
  • Rookie Gareon Conley is still out with a lingering shin injury for the Oakland Raiders. The team has got to be anxious to get the Buckeye back after he impressed early on in the season.
  • QB Cardale Jones was once again a healthy scratch for the Chargers.

The Buckeyes impressed more than college football fans on Saturday.

Was that Halloween party worth it? If you’re an Ohio State Buckeye fan, I highly doubt it.

While you walked away from the Ohio State game to put on your Superman costume, the Buckeyes battled back in the fourth quarter to defeat the Nittany Lions of Penn State, 39-38, after trailing the entire game.

You might have missed out on the comeback victory, but do you want to know who didn’t? A long list of top high school recruits from across the country that were on campus on Saturday to watch the Big Ten foes mix it up.

Interested in hearing what some of the recruits on hand thought? Land-Grant Holy Land caught up with the following prospects and grabbed their opinion on the Buckeyes' big win.

Ohio State RB commit Master Teague


Class: 2018

Town: Murfreesboro, TN/Blackman

Thoughts: “It was crazy. The stadium got super loud towards the end of the game. [It was] awesome to see people storm the field. It was unlike anything I've ever seen.”

4-star ATH Steele Chambers


Class: 2019

Town: Roswell, GA/Blessed Trinity Catholic

Offers: OSU, Clemson, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, etc

Thoughts: “It was crazy. The energy was unreal. I didn't get to see much of the campus, but did see the football facilities and the game day experience at OSU. I was very impressed with how organized the coaches were with the schedule. I was only there for a short visit but they made it worth it.”

4-star OT Darnell Wright


Class: 2019

Town: Huntington, WV/Huntington

Offers: OSU, Louisville, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, etc

Thoughts: “Great atmosphere and game. Big time game with a lot of excitement. I enjoyed my time there.”

Quick Hits

  • Ohio State offered 2019 defensive end Noah Potter on Saturday. The Mentor (OH) standout, the younger brother of current Buckeye basketball player Micah Potter, adds the OSU offer to a list that already consisted of Penn State, Cincinnati, Boston College, North Carolina State, and others.
  • On Sunday evening the Ohio State basketball program offered Dublin Coffman (OH) point guard Dominiq Penn. One of the top 2020 prospects in the state of Ohio, Penn is the son of OSU great Scoonie Penn.
  • Chris Holtmann and crew also offered 2020 prospects Ethan Morton (Butler, PA/Butler Area), and Zach Loveday (Gallipolis, OH/Gallia Academy) scholarships last night. Morton, a 6’1 point guard, now has scholarship offers on the table from not just OSU, but also programs like Iowa, Penn State, and West Virginia, while the 6’11 Loveday picked up an early offer from Purdue over the summer.
  • 2018 defensive back Anthony Cook has pushed back his college commitment plans. The five-star prospect, who is down to Ohio State, Texas, and LSU, will no longer announce his pledge on Monday, as he needs more time to think over his decision.

Ohio State’s incredible comeback was due to a dominant defense that set up J.T.’s fourth quarter

Before jumping into the numbers, it’s worth just appreciating how incredible of a game that was. J.T. and the receivers, the defensive line, and the fourth-quarter coaching were absolutely insane in this game.

Due to special teams, turnovers, and penalties, this became a very, very improbable win:


Shoot it straight into my veins pic.twitter.com/Oa7iPhBziJ

— Luke Zimmermann (@LukeZim) October 28, 2017

Things were so dire that Ohio State had a 2.7% win probability according to ESPN with under eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Ohio State faced the second-ranked team in the country and essentially gave them a 21-point handicap due to special teams errors.

I’m very tempted to say that the better team won the game, and that the Buckeyes showed that they were actually much better — but that wouldn’t really be accurate. I do think Ohio State showed that they were the better team, but special teams is one of the three parts of the game, so their special teams performance can’t just be written off. Nor can their two fumbles or ten penalties for 79 yards.

I track 16 major game-defining stats in the table below. Ohio State won 11 of those head-to-head metrics.


In the table above, scoring opportunity efficiency looks at the average points scored per scoring opportunity -- drives with a first down past the opponents' 40-yard line. Drive efficiency looks at the percentage of drives that were scoring opportunities. Rushing opportunity rate is the % of runs that gained five or more yards. Rushing stuff rate is the % of runs that were for no gain or a loss. Explosive plays are 12+ yard runs and 20+ yard passes here. No surprise, but this was the first game since Oklahoma that the Buckeyes didn’t have any garbage time.

Here are the takeaways that I said would be most important in the preview on Thursday:

  1. Ohio State’s pass defense is just 38th in passing S&P+, against the 9th-ranked passing S&P+ offense.
  2. Ohio State should be able to create a lot of negative plays, both in run stuffs (7th vs. 117th) and sacks (7th vs. 105th).
  3. Penn State’s relative weakness against the run (5th vs. 50th in rushing S&P+)
  4. The little things will matter a lot: turning Penn State scoring opportunities into field goals instead of touchdowns (5th vs. 45th in finishing drives, in OSU’s favor), field position (Penn State is 1st compared to OSU at 36th in offensive average field position), and turnovers always make a huge difference.

Of those stats, Ohio State was better in passing success rate, havoc rate/stuff rate, and rushing success rate. And they were much worse in all of the little things: scoring opportunity efficiency (touchdowns instead of field goals), field position, and turnover margin.

Offense:


The offense had a 53% overall success rate against the Nittany Lions’ 9th-ranked S&P+ defense (and a 20% success rate margin!). That stat alone, combined with an edge in explosive plays, would lead to a dominant win in almost any game. But the fourth quarter is where the offense really shined:


Things were shaky early on, even outside of the special teams errors, but it’s a testament to the team’s resiliency that they were able to hang in the game. Their first four drives, which ended the first quarter, were a fumble in OSU territory, a three-and-out, a field goal, and a turnover on downs. It went about as badly as it could’ve gone. Ohio State did just enough for the rest of the game to hang on.

But outside of the rough start and the incredible ending, the offense’s performance in the middle was strong as well — and the run game in particular.

Ending with a 51% rushing success rate, J.K. Dobbins rushed 13 times for 6.8 yards per carry and Barrett added 17 carries for 95 yards. Dobbins could definitely do with more carries, but the run/pass balance is defensible given both the offense’s overall success against a talented defense and the game state (i.e., trailing for ~97% of the game).

Penn State’s defense is usually very strong at creating negative plays, similar to Ohio State’s defense: they ranked 22nd and 38th in stuff rate and adjusted sack rate, respectively, coming into the game. So Ohio State’s 12% havoc rate allowed (6 tackles for loss, one sack, one pass defensed, and two forced fumbles) was actually a very strong performance given how attacking Penn State’s defense was.

One final thing to note: While the Buckeyes’ fourth quarter comeback was extremely improbable, Penn State’s season average defensive S&P+ in the first three quarters was 14th — but they average just 62nd in fourth quarter defensive S&P+.

Defense: Dominant, given the field position


Penn State’s 42% drive efficiency equates to five scoring opportunities on twelve drives. Of those five, three were directly related to starting with the ball in Ohio State territory due to special teams or turnovers. Given the starting field position that the defense started with, their performance against Penn State — the 10th-ranked S&P+ offense in the country — was remarkable.

The defense’s performance can be summarized by these stats:

  1. Ohio State offensive success rate: 53%. Penn State offensive success rate: 33%.
  2. Saquon Barkley’s rushing success rate: 19%.
  3. Barkley’s yards per carry besides the 36-yard run: .4 YPC.
  4. Percentage of Barkley’s carries stuffed: 43%.
  5. Overall stuff rate: 38%.

I want to be clear that those stats in no way undermine how incredible of a player that Barkley is — after all, he did house the opening kickoff, added 4 catches for 23 yards, and showed his speed and vision on the 36-yard touchdown run. But if you could boil down Ohio State’s win to one single factor outside of J.T.’s insane fourth quarter performance, it was the defense’s ability to completely shut down Barkley. Because of the defensive line, Barkley had more than twice as many tackles for loss than he did successful runs.

And coming into the game, the stats suggested that Ohio State’s defense could do that, too: Ohio State was 7th in stuff rate compared to 117th for Penn State’s offensive line.

The defense should show highlights of the last 4:20 for years. On those final two Penn State drives, which ended in a three-and-out punt and a turnover on downs, Penn State had two tackles for loss, three incomplete passes, a sack, and one five-yard run on third-and-long for a 0% success rate on 7 plays. Ohio State’s defense kept the Buckeyes in the game, giving J.T. and the offense the opportunity to get the comeback win.

Penn State was also much less explosive compared to last season. While they allowed just a 10% explosive rate this year, they had an 18% explosive rate in last year’s upset.

The Buckeyes made the jump with a big win over Penn State.

Saturday’s Ohio State win was incredible. From incredibly frustrating, to incredibly fun, the Buckeyes claimed the victory at home over the formerly second ranked team in the country, and now have a leg up in the competition for the Big Ten East. After the big win, Ohio State moved up into the No. 3 spot in this week’s AP Poll.

In other Big Ten news, Northwestern served Michigan State its first conference loss of the season, landing the Buckeyes solely at the top of the East division. Wisconsin had a surprisingly close contest with Illinois, but ended up finishing on top 24-10. Nebraska had it’s own 1-point victory over Purdue, finishing the contest 25-24.

There are now two less undefeated teams after a wild Week 9, with Penn State and TCU taking their first losses of the season. Iowa State is on the move, up 11 spots to No. 14 with a win over TCU. Georgia kept their spot towards the top of the rankings, still undefeated after a big 42-7 win over Florida, which will reportedly be the final game in the Jim McElwain era in Gainesville.

There were several other big shake-ups in this weeks Coaches and AP Polls, below.
