The 2020 College Football Season



JUST EIGHT GAMES? NO TRAPS
Every offseason, whenever anybody’s trying to analyze Ohio State’s upcoming schedule, discussion inevitably leads to someone circling one or two games where the Buckeyes might be vulnerable against a less-talented team.

Recent precedent – say hello to 2017 Iowa and 2018 Purdue – dictates those conversations. In this eight-game slate, trap games don’t exist. They just don’t, especially with the way Ohio State’s schedule lines up. Nobody’s sneaking up on the Buckeyes. Not Nebraska in the opener. Not Indiana, which follows Rutgers and Maryland. Not Michigan State, which comes after Illinois.

Ohio State knows it can’t afford any slips and must show out in all eight regular-season games in order to make the College Football Playoff. Save the trap-game opinions for next offseason.
