Ohio State will lose at least one of the following three games: Wisconsin, at Northwestern, at Michigan. There's a big difference between playing with no chance of a bowl or championship and playing with a target on their backs all season.


I think we could easily lose a game this season and I think Michigan is the best bet. Wisconsin always seems to give us trouble, but I still am more worried about Michigan. Either way, your "big difference between playing with no chance of a bowl" line could go either way. I'd say a team loses a good amount of motivation with no postseason available.

Also, what Meyer has done in his first two seasons since taking his first HC job...
took:
2-9 Bowling green to 8-3 before 9-3
5-6 Utah to 10-2 before 12-0.
7-5 Florida to 9-3 before 12-0.
7-5 Ohio State to 12-0 before ???

Guy always performs his first two seasons and tends to only improve in his second.

My friend is an ohio state fan, y'all are intolerable stat quoting arse holes with nothing to back it up except getting shite pushed in y SEC teams. If y'all make it to the NC it's a fluke, and about the same as the winner of the special Olympics rubbing in the 2nd place winner of the actual Olympics.

I actually think the best chance for OSU to lose is at NW given how Meyer usually does really well at home and in rivalry games. His teams occasionally fall asleep and lose to someone they shouldn't, or at least let someone come really, really close. (2007 Auburn, 2008 Ole Miss, 2009 Arkansas, 2012 Purdue and at Indiana)

I'm still holding my breath on his offenses though since Mullen left.
