If OSU wins by 3TDs you are right. What if it is a close game and/or Indiana pulls it out?
This is what a lot of people are discussing. Personally I expect a close game for a half. OSU has a lot of depth that takes over in second halves of games, similar to Georgia. If Georgia beats Alabama, I think Georgia moves up to th 2 seed. If OSU loses in a close one I think they drop to 3 and IU gets the number one seed.
If Alabama wins vs Georgia again, I think they are firmly in the fourth spot. So lined up for a bye week, with a the other three top seeds.

It’s close for sure
Especially when most of the top 10 would probably beat #2 almost as easily as the #1 will

I really like the IU QB. Class act kid, and everybody loves an underdog. I'd be happy if IU pulled off the upset, and Mendoza won the Heisman. He's the anti-Pavia.

Ohio State's D line is going to destroy Indiana's O line. Just like last season. It'll be close for a bit, in the 2nd half the Buckeyes talent will win pulling away in the 2nd half

Texas-Ohio State in the early part of 2006 was pretty bad. It wasn’t super ugly or anything…but it was early season and Colt McCoy was still an unproven freshman. The magic of Vince Young was in the NFL.
Both teams still had strong seasons though.

Not if Indy wins. IU getting the #1 seed would represent a monumental shift in college football.

Then we get a good game
Like I said, I'd love to be wrong. But we just saw this movie last year, and this OSU team actually beat Michigan

Some years ago tOSU and Michigan were 1 vs 2.
They almost went to the 2 team champ game. ...but Florida went.
Beat the brakes off tOSU.
The SEC back then was way way better than the big10, just didn't get the respect.
Now tOSU bought 2 of Bamas best players plus a center that was shitty. May win it all again.
I'd like to have seen tOSU or especially Indiana play Ole Miss with a coaching staff.

OSU could have gone the way of Nebraska after those back to back beatdowns by UG and LSU, but fortunately, they made better hires after the game passed Jim Tressel by. Heck of a coach but he couldn’t get a creative offense to save his arse.
