OSU has a tricky schedule left. Oklahoma was a good win but their defense seems suspect at best! Torched this past weekend by TCU.

IU
@Wisc
@PSU
NW
Nebraska
@Maryland
@MSU
Michigan

Likely the toughest remaining BIG schedule in the conference. IU is dangerous though I expect OSU will probably score 70 of them next week. Wisconsin at Madison won't be easy especially with 2 weeks to prepare for this game. Having said that, Wisconsin really struggled with us when we put Peppers in the game on offense to run a wildcat/option so OSU likely comes out on top. Maryland, MSU, and Nebraska are trap games.

Would be awesome if both Michigan and OSU are both 11-0 going into the Game. Having said that I would not be sad at all if Michigan was 11-0 and OSU was something like 8-3 :)
 
I'm just gonna call it...Nebraska upsets OSU. I don't think Wisconsin can score enough to win. Their game may look similar to ours but with OSU making their field goals.

To beat OSU you have to make it a slug fest and shorten the game with old fashion Bo work ethic!. They are going to want to pick up the pace and push the ball. We have to limit big plays and rush the ball with play action. Make 3rd downs into first downs and have sharp STs. Defense must force as many 3 and outs as possible. The front has to take care of the running game with Barrett, and leave the DBs to stop the pass game. IMHO "74

Good call on OSU's schedule, as it turns out it does look pretty rugged having to play the top two BIG West teams and MSU right before UM. They certainly will not come in well rested and coasting to The Game.
 
Those games could wear them down ,or make them sharp as a tack. I think the latter . They may beat up but after playing those 3 will be used to a tough game. It will work for them. "74

In this day and age it is so difficult to go undefeated. Nebraska would be a good loss. It wouldn't effect the Buckeyes in the Division, and if learning from the loss helps them later against Michigan and maybe a resurgent MSU, with the possibility of avenging that loss in the Big Championship... is nothing but good.
 
Nebraska does not have the horses to beat OSU and it's a home game. Honestly the only 3 teams that can give OSU some trouble - @MSU (which may or may not but Dantonio coaches well against OSU), Michigan, and @Wisconsin. Other then that, the matches won't be 58-0 blowouts like Rutgers but unless JT gets injured, I don't see how they lose.
 
I don't see anyone on their schedule that is likely to beat them. Anything could happen, of course. They're the best in the conference this year.

Whoa, whoa, whoa my old friend, that mantel rested on MSU until they lost their first two Big 10 games this year and tossed aside their victor's laurel. It's there for the taking and we bow to no team until the victor is clear on the field of battle.

Well technically they are not the "champs" - that honor would go to MSU. Just like Michigan, OSU will have to earn become the BIG champions.
Tarun you are right. I see the Bucks there so much I totally lost who won last yr. Must have been the great play in the playoffs by the Spartans that made me forget they won the BT and got Bama'd GBGB"74
