Hmmmmm.....I guess right here is where we'll build the next one after we take all the Ohio State fans' money.

Depending on where Penn St and Oklahoma land in the rankings this week (with A&M, Nebraska, LSU and Florida falling), it is possible that OSU will have had to play on the road at night against 3 top 10 ranked teams this year. Not at the time of playing them but their possible future current rankings, which sounds stupid as I type it.

By the end of the season we will likely have played 3 and could be 4 top ten teams. Penn State and are Wisconsin not losing, Oklahoma if they win the Big 12 will be top 10. TTUN won't drop out of top 10 no matter what happens on thanksgiving weekend and they aren't losing the next 2 weeks.

Yep, and Nebraska will still be top 25. Probably 15-20 range

Tulsa is also leading their division of the American Athletic Association of America

Yep but I was just referring to the night road games which seem to be the toughest type of game in general, let alone against top 10 opponents.

Buckeyes did not get the jump over Washington in the AP or Coaches poll. Knotted with Louisville.

If you do the math, the Buckeyes only moved up 1 place on about half of the voters in both polls. So there is more convincing to do.

If they want to get into the CFC game, they need to bury their next two opponents, then beat TSUN and Wisky. Style points will count.

Disagree completely

Win out and there are in, style points are irrelevant

EDIT:

Just getting in and seeing the polls

They just refuse to drop T A&M out of the top 10, it's fucking amazing

I think if we run the board, beating Michigan and winning the B1G CCG, we're in regardless of style points. We've beaten three teams that were top-10 at game time (two of those games at night on the road), and Michigan will likely be #2 come time for The Game. Our sole loss will have been at night, on the road at one of the toughest venues in college football, in wet conditions, against a team that may very well finish the regular season in the top 10. Conversely, Washington's schedule is no where near what ours is. The only currently-ranked team they've beaten is Utah (currently #13)...Stanford was #7 when Washington beat them, but Stanford is not very good,is currently 6-3 (4-3 in conference), and was clearly overrated early in the season. The only other currently-ranked team Washington plays in the regular season is Wazzu (#23). So, if Washington does stumble it'll be against a far lesser opponent than was our loss.

and like last year, if they lose, they deserve what they get.

The sec always improves when it's best teams lose. It's what separates them from the Normies that have consequences.

I hope you all are right. I'd like to see the Buckeyes enter The Game in the top 4. I just don't think that is happening without style points.

I watched the Texas A&M game with some of you. They looked like stewed cow manure.
