Do yourself a favor and hope we don't get a playoff spot. We're a one dimensional offense with a shaky defense. Remember 31-0? It could be worse with this team.

We can still beat scUM, win the B1G, and go to the Rose Bowl. Focus on that, because we ain't winning the CFP this season. No chance.

Not saying we can win it all or compete. Just saying there is an outside chance IF they win out. Who knows? Wait and see and will be here no matter what next game and the next. Love my Buckeyes.

Are you saying you don't like Schiano's scheme which walks two LBs into the A and B gaps only to be blocked out of the mesh thrown behind them to the WR that runs a 4.2 40?

What are you trying to say, that somehow you knew before this game that #4 was fast as fuck and they might hand him the ball on a jet sweep? Did you sneak in to their practice or something? How could you possibly think that Purdue might deploy such a play? Who would have guessed #4 was getting the ball?

I am sure we were prepared the best we could have been.


Geez are these fucking clowns morons or what? How we look so unfucking prepared vs Iowa and Purdue is amazing.

This, 1000x’s this.

He seems like a mess- mentally and physically. He is so wound up and it is trickling everywhere. I’m [very much] on record of not being a fan of his sideline demeanor the last 2-3 years- the head down, the frustration and look of fear.

Tonight seemed even weirder. A lot of headset off moments. I’m not sure I can even describe it, but it wasn’t right.

I hope he gets it together- and I mean that beyond X’s and O’s.

I'd be fine if he needs to take a season off to get his health and head back in the right place, and wouldn't be terribly surprised or upset if he started that leave, say...next week. I think he's still the best coach we could have for the foreseeable future, but he's clearly not at the top of his game right now.

To be clear. I don't see this team in a playoff but don't ignore the fact of winning out and beating a top 5 Michigan team and BIG Champ game that they can get in with that resume even after a shit show loss. Very unlikely

Besides winning out, we probalaby need some help to get into the CFPs. I'll guess we would still be behind an undefeated Alabama, Clemson, and ND team in addition to a 1 loss Big XII Champion Oklahoma team. For us to have a chance a couple of those 4 teams need to lose a game or 2.

If not, (considering how few starters we had returning this year) I would actually consider winning out and beating the Pac 12 Champion in the Rose Bowl a sucessful season.

My husband said, " this is devestating"

I said "No. Nuh uh. This is DISAPPOINTING. I still think we should score points if we lose. But, nothing, NOTHING will compare to the way I felt after the Iowa loss."

I don't know. That 4th quarter? I saw a lot of similiarities; the same self-inflicted wounds with dumb plays and penalties, the same incompetence from the LB's, same Offensive line woes, same poor tackling from the secondary, same poor play-calling from the offensive staff. THE SAME RESULT.

How does everyone forget is took 31 points to Iowa AND two losses and it still was a close call???????????????????

I don’t see it in this team either..haven’t all year. But you all overestimate the effect of this loss on our playoff chances.

I agree. We were 10-2 . Got a pass for losing to mayfield and co.. ND drops a game and no championship not out of the question. PAC 12 is a mess. Big 12 could implode. Ya never know.

We beat #4-5 scUM and ranked iowa or whoever? Clemson lost to SYRACUSE! This is not impossible now. Maybe it will be later. But letting 2 SEC teams in will probably have already played each other. Personally I think that's why it was allowed to happen. BAMA and GA had not played each other.

All I know is if we don't get in and lsu does I'm going to root for them. A little piece of buckeye is better than nothing.

Sorry.... I'm rambling bc alcohol and tired

I couldn't handle the outside noise if he left this season. I bet he leaves after this year though, regardless of what happens.

Ugh. I’m so tired of reading this stuff. You think he’s the only coach who shows disappointment when a play doesn’t work? Maybe the “problem” with his demeanor is that people over analyze the shit out of an elite CFB coach being upset at bad performances.
