Might still make playoffs. Maybe better for Ohio state? If they make playoffs will be a rested team
They are basically a lock to make the playoffs

I agree in the big picture it’s better for them

They know they can beat Oregon

You know its not. This version of the Buckeyes is a bully until the opponent punches back. Then they turn into punks. They are a 2 loss team that won’t win a road game in the playoffs.
You must not have been watching Ohio State games much this year. They have been pretty physical/tough all year long. Rarely get off to a good start. Have grinded in a few games

Don't know if they'll even have to play on the road, but honestly their home crowd is dead and they've look good in road environments this season

If they play like they did today, then sure they won't beat Oregon. But they probably won't play like they did today

They would've been favored over Oregon on a neutral field heading into today. Books won't overreact to one outlier game

You win. I’ll believe you the fan instead of my lying eyes.

They also have the benefit of there simply not being that many great teams this year

Hell, unbeaten Oregon won 16-13 at Wisconsin

Ohio State will have a chance to win it all

Fucking crazy buckeyes losing as a huge favorite of -23 1/2 and to lose outright to Michigan as a HUGE ML +1200 🤮 Upset of the week in College here 🏈

Buckeyes probably gonna host a playoff game too lol

Good for the seniors at least, especially those on defense who didn't deserve the loss yesterday

One thing I guess Ohio State has going for them is there isn't a dominant team this year. They could still win it all. i don't think that happens though because like I've said I don't trust Ryan Day in big games but the fact that they're there means they have a chance. Anything can happen in the playoffs this is what we signed up for when we asked for a bigger playoff system so any of the 12 teams can win but it's probably more like 4 realistically because there isn't a team that doesn't have a flaw that worries you.

Ohio State has the most talent at skill positions in the nation. They have to go up tempo on offense and just throw the shit out of the ball and every once in a while run a draw or a screen. They are like a Big12 team with more defense talent and should play that way.

Day just seems to over think it against Michigan

“You have to run the ball to win this game”

He was so determined to prove that they can run the ball since he’s been criticized for not doing it in the past that he didn’t coach the right way to actually win the game

If they play more uptempo and air it out they win that game pretty easily
