Aww, he looked like he couldn't believe it.

We all do.

Dobbins the real deal shouting out to the O Line and then an O-H

IO!

Dobbins is a great kid.

I would be his friend.

Not like we didn't get blown out in a few national title games in the past and still bounced back, I'd still rather have us playing for it all any year.

You realize of course that those 2 losses set us back for nearly a decade, right?

Every year since the LSU loss until 2014, we had to contend with perceived inferiority on both the recruiting trail and in rankings. Just look at 2014 - we just barely snuck into the playoffs, and people were furious.

Face it - perception matters a lot, and I absolutely do not want to go through that period again. You guys who live in Ohio might not recognize it, since you're surrounded by Buckeye fans, but it's very clear to those who live elsewhere.

We get blown out again, and there's a great chance we don't get in the playoffs in a year where we truly deserve it.

Have fun winning big 10 titles for the rest of your days. Never aspire to be more than that huh? This is great but if all we ever did was win our league then OSU wouldn’t be what it is today

Guess you have never seen the natties we have around the ring of our stadium

GTFO. If you can't be happy tonight, go bandwagon hop to whoever wins the most recent national championship.

Loved seeing how excited JK was to get the MVP trophy.

if we dont' win Big 10 titles we shouldn't be in the hunt for national ones. Not sure of your argument. One leads to the other, can't move on to national title until we lock up the conference one. One down this season, one to go.

I’m not even happy we looked like trash and blew a bigger lead

JK acting like I do when I walk into the new Kroger and see Archie there signing autographs.

Oh how cute, someone let the kids stay up late tonight

Conversely, we very likely get shut out in the playoffs, simultaneously ruining our reputation and any committee benefit of the doubt going forward for years while also hurting recruiting.

We lost to Clemson 31-0 in the playoffs last year and currently have the #1 recruiting class in the country this year. So there goes your recruiting argument down the drain.

If Ohio State goes 13-0 or 12-1 and wins the Big Ten title next year, do you really think that the CFB Playoff Committee would leave the Buckeyes out because they laid an egg this year? I'd like to hear that line of reasoning....

You guys should Secspin right now. Slobbin to his team in.

Conversely, get a friggin clue and stop posting nonsense, lest ye get mocked by others.

Ohio State beats unbeaten, 4th ranked Wisconsin = reputation ruined and recruiting hurt? On what planet?
