What Do You Want To See? Idle Week

OK, Buckeye fans.
Time to take a break for a week.
Ohio State is idle. Maybe it comes at the wrong time as the Buckeye Express seems to be rolling after stomping Oklahoma with its basic defense.
Anyhoo, that doesn’t stop our crack staff from producing its weekly wish list.
Ready?
Scott
B1G up: Need the conference to have a good week.
Irish eyes: Wouldn’t mind a Notre Dame win.
JC
Stay on same page: I would like to see Warriner and Beck repeat with call-playing. They did well this past week. I am still not sold. Oklahoma and Stoops are overrated, I think, and always have been. This journey must go through Wisconsin, *ichigan State, Nebraska, and of course the circus act masqueraded as TTUN.
Eat it: I would like a full confess from Jim Harbaugh about the booger he ate too. Admitting it will only set him free. Perhaps he could be the national spokesman, or super-hero for booger eaters. Just admit it Jimbo.
Mike M.
Take a dive: I want to see if J.T. Barrett learns to slide at all. I love him being tough and fighting for what we need, but he takes some unnecessary hits. Once you have the first, unless a TD is possible, don’t take hits you don’t need. Barrett means too much to this team. The fact that we have to nitpick something like this is a good problem to have.
Not a snooze fest: I also want to see good games this week. As a football fan in general, I want to be entertained this week with the Bucks having a well-deserved off week.

The big mo: For Ohio State I want to see them keep up the momentum. I don’t want to see a fall off in two weeks when we play Rutgers. Have to keep getting better every week, and I am glad we have a week off between games so the guys can come down off the high of beating a good Oklahoma team.
Good weekend of games: I want to see how Clemson does at Georgia Tech. Can the TIgers avoid this trap game? Can Ole Miss win a game they lead at halftime this season? They play Georgia this week at home and a 1-3 start would be disasterous. The Battle of the Big Ten with Wisconsin and Michigan State should be a great game, and it’s a noon kick which makes it better. Wisconsin has a rotating quarterback position and Michigan State looks like it hasn’t dropped off a bit since last year. Another good weekend of college football which will go a long way to shaping the landscape of where things finish at the end of the season.
Wva
Top ranked pain: Here’s hoping the bye week for the Buckeyes turns into a fun watch party with lots of upsets and they become the number one team.
Um, nurse: Get everyone healthy this week, lots of knicks and dings with starters. Take the opportunity to take it easy and stay out of trouble.
Rankings galore: Let the national powers figure out what needs to be done with the rankings. The committee better not be paying attention to those and make pretty good decisions around who the best teams are.
