Somewhere, @Gatorubet is getting hammered.

To be fair, while a true statement, that prediction usually applies with or without Kentucky.

Well, if you're perchance protesting Kentucky by boycotting bourbon, I'll take any excess reserves off of your hands.

OSU went out there and best Arizona is '00 iirc

OSU has also (from my sometimes faulty memory) beaten Fresno State (maybe '00 as well?), Washington ('07) and Cal ('13). They played but lost to UCLA('01) and USC ('08).

Point being, It's good exposure for west coast recruiting, a generally good opponent for a home and home and a fun trip for the fan base if you are good enough to pack up your gear and go beat people.

OSU can do that, most of the rest of the B1G cannot.

Ohio State could travel to the gates of hell and the stadium would be 50% Buckeye fans, we are on a different level from the rest of the conference lol.

Shit. We do that every other year.

I'm disappointed that no other B1G program poster has responded with a "home game" reference. Sad smack is sad.

Does someone want to tell me what I'm missing with Cincy being an underdog against Miami (OH)?

I think it's an error. Lines on my apps have UC -7.5

What the...?

Despite 12-game Victory Bell streak and Saturday's upset, UC is underdog against Miami

Vegas Insider has Miami as -1 or -1 1/2 favorite across the board.

Oh, I found it. Just makes no sense to me.

So yeah, I took the free money. 21-0 Cincinnati.

Vegas is good, but across 60+ college games on a Saturday, sometimes they do gift you a couple.

BTW....
I THINK for anyone who wants to watch the KY/FL game I'm fairly certain you can get the SEC network on the ESPN app
