NIU- OSU 35, NIU 24 (35-17 before meaningless TD against our really green 2nd stringers)
Texas- OSU 27, Texas 17
Cincy- OSU 27, Cincy 14 (letdown)
Penn State- OSU 37, PSU 21 (payback, they play ND and UM before us)
Iowa- OSU 24, Iowa 21 (buckeyes fear the boogey man at night)
BGSU- OSU 42, BGSU 10
MSU- OSU 45, MSU 28 (they may be worse on D, if that's possible)
Indiana- OSU 42, Indiana 10 (look out, Hardy will have a lot of built up anger)
Minny- OSU 31, Minny 17
Illinois- OSU 45, Illinois 7 (Tress will still rave about their punter before and after the game)
NW- OSU 35, NW 13 (Sutton is talented... but trapped in a loaded box)
TSUN- OSU 31, scUM 17 (Ron English will not be a savior)

Texas- OSU 38, Texas 35

Sorry, but I don't see Texas putting up 35 on us with two frosh QBs.

 

[OSUBuckeye4Life]

Sorry, but I don't see Texas putting up 35 on us with two frosh QBs.

I do. They still have an impressive O-line, RB stable, and very underrated WR's.

As much as I believe this defense will be better than the average person realizes, it still is Game 2.

I'm more than hoping you are correct.

 

[cincibuck]

OSU 24 NIU 14
OSU 14 Texas 21
OSU 28 UC 20 We've never scored first in this series and it's between two of the most important games of the year.
OSU 35 PSU 7 Revenge will be a huge motivator for the OSU team and the crowd.
OSU 42 Iowa 7 they lost a ton of talent on defense
OSU 28 BGSU 14 Bucks asleep through first half
OSU 35 MSU 10
OSU 48 IU 7
OSU 35 Minnie 17
OSU 42 Illini 14
OSU 28 NW 7
OSU 42 Michigan 13
OSU 35 Florida 42

you have osu scoring 42 on ttun, yet only 24 on NIU, 14 on Texas, and 28 on BG? Also, there's no way Urban Legend's circus offense scores 42 on osu. All you need is good team speed on defense to shut down that show.

These are my predicted scores for next year.

NIU- OSU 49, NIU 14
Texas- OSU 34, Texas 27
Cincy- OSU 41, Cincy 12
Penn State- OSU 35, PSU 20
Iowa- OSU 31, Iowa 28 (OT)
BGSU- OSU 48, BGSU 18
MSU- OSU 38, MSU 30
Indiana- OSU 54, Indiana 10
Minny- OSU 28, Minny 10
Illinois- OSU 44, Illinois 14
NW- OSU 37, NW 9
scUM- OSU 24, scUM 14

Thoughts?

I think we will score more than 28 on Minnesota-we hung 45 on them last year, and I think Iowa will be a bit more low scoring on both sides. Otherwise, good calls.

 

[CleveBucks]

NIU- OSU 34, NIU 21
Texas- OSU 20, Texas 27
Cincy- OSU 41, Cincy 17

10-2 + bowl win = 11-2

 

[SparkyOSU]

You saw it here first

NIU- OSU 28, NIU 10<= never a great team out of the blocks, but a 2nd quarter rool will come----7-3 at half
Texas- OSU 27, Texas 17 <= Young was a BIG reason for TEX (y'all see)
Cincy- OSU 27, Cincy 24 <= never good in this game (TAKE IT OFF, add Ohio U)
Penn State- OSU 31, PSU 21 <= we are starting to roll !!!
Iowa- OSU 34, Iowa 27
BGSU- OSU 38, BGSU 17 <= CHOO!!! CHOOO!!!!
MSU- OSU 41, MSU 27
Indiana- OSU 45, Indiana 13
Minny- OSU 43, Minny 21
Illinois- OSU 49, Illinois 10
NW- OSU 34, NW 30 <= NWU is gonna score some points next year
scUM- OSU 33, scUM 21

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

Like Cinci, I'll go out on a limb and predict a bowl opponent and score:

OSU 30 NIU 14 -- Buttoned up playbook on offense, 2 TDs scored on the bench
OSU 31 Texas 24 -- Unbuttoned playbook, big game outta Troy
OSU 35 UC 7 -- Typical sandwich game, but with atypical results
OSU 33 PSU 10 -- Won't stop PSU fans from talking big
OSU 45 Iowa 27 -- Ginn and Gonzalez barbecue the Hawkeye DBs
OSU 49 BGSU 14 -- 2 Late TDs by both teams
OSU 31 MSU 20 -- Press begins to look up OSU's season scoring records
OSU 42 IU 7
OSU 31 Minnie 16
OSU 56 Illinois 0 -- Numerous turnovers by the Illini; 1st shut-out in a long time
OSU 34 NW 13 -- 1st team D has found its stride, hasn't surrendered a TD in 4 games (IU, Minnie and NW get garbage time TDs)
OSU 49 Michigan 10 -- I'm guessing Hart won't be healthy
OSU 45 WVU 24 -- WVU takes early lead but OSU pulls away late

Cinci, I find it interesting that you expect Florida to score twice as many points as Texas, with all other opponents scoring even less. Do you really think that much of Urban Meyer? What bowl do you expect this to be in?

Cincinnati - Win 51-10 (dont see how yall can say this ine will be close,offense too powerful)
Penn State - Win 34-28 (real tough game,playmakers of penn st.(williams and all those WRs keep em in the game but playmakers of ohio st. out do em(ginn and smith)
Iowa - Win 41 - 21 (finally show how powerful the offense really is,iowa cant stop us with loss of there LBs)
Bowling Green - Win 56-10 (respectable team but too easy of a win)
Michigan State - Win 38-24 (surprised by losing in first half with good mich st. offense but come through in second half)
Indiana - Win 54-0 (first shutout by D,another blow out)
Minnesota - 42-14 (tough game last year but no maroney no chance)
Illinois - 49-3 (another easy win,illini cant stop the O)

Michigan - Win 31-27 (finish of the undefeated season,i'd love nothing more than a blow out in this one but its close almost every year,we get the win though and move on to Tempe)

PS-Fuck Michigan

If you've been on this site a while you know that I have a phobia about the south and bowl games. I see us getting stuck in a Florida bowl with a Florida team... witness Penn State and FSU just last year...

I'm the guy that wants a BCS bowl in Ann Arbor or Columbus. If the NFL can play big games in cold weather than so dan D1 college football.
