Interesting stat:

… entering Week 12, Ohio State was No. 1 in its own starting field position (39-yard line), No. 2 nationally in opponents’ starting position (25) and No. 1 in starting position difference (14 yards)? No other team has even a 10-yard difference.

I wonder what the "starting position" stats are now.

Don't understand the lack of line subs. Thought the coaches felt we had a solid 2 deep as we approached the season. That rotation suggests otherwise.

I'm actually a little more surprised/Disappointed by the rotation at the interior of the line. We did lose 2 potentially great defensive ends in the offseason/early in the season. But I thought we were much better off at tackle and there has been no issues there at all.

Wow ......all 4 teams in the BIG west conference, will have a shot at playing in the BIG conference championship. Minny has a steep road to hoe with 2 games away to Nebraska and Wisconsin. Iowa stands at 4 and 2 with 2 remaining games at home to Wisconsin and Nebraska. Next two weeks should prove to be quite interesting. I think Wisconsin has the best chance to win it but Iowa is coming on strong and that could really cause a shit storm. Should be fun to watch all four of those games.

Really have to pull for Minny next week. Assuming Wisky wins out, that would mean they had to go to Iowa in a must win game 2 weeks before the B1G CC, and then play Minny the next week with the division on the line. That would mean they come into the B1G CC after 3 straight weeks of playing for their life. How much gas would they have in the tank?

It's pretty difficult for Nebraska or Iowa to win though.
- Nebraska has to win out (Minnesota and Iowa) plus Wisconsin to lose both games (Minnesota and Iowa)
- Iowa has to win out (Nebraska and Wisconsin) plus rely on Minnesota losing at least 1 more game.
- Minnesota controls their own destiny, must simply win out (Nebraska and Wisconsin)
- Wisconsin controls their own destiny but doesn't necessarily have to win both games. If they lose to Iowa or Minnesota, they need Nebraska to beat that team.

Iowa 0000, 0010, 0110 --> 00x0 + 0x10 --> Iowa > Wiscy + (Neb>Minny || Wiscy>Minny) + Iowa > Nebraska
Minnesota 0100, 0101, 1100, 1101 --> x10x --> Minny>Neb + Minny>Wiscy
Nebraska 0001 --> Iowa > Wiscy + Neb > Minny + Minny>Wiscy + Neb>Iowa
Wiscy 0011, 0111, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1110, 1111 --> xx11+1x1x+10xx

Posted this in the YouTube video thread, but I suppose it can go here too given all the weather talk ...

Nike has another 1m+ long commercial for their Hyperwarm gear. As with last year's spot, Ohio St is featured playing football in the snow. Urban wasn't asked to reprise his role singing.
