I just laid out 2 games against very pedestrian teams where they struggled to sustain drives. Washington, Illinois. Add Texas too. These aren’t playoff caliber offenses who could capitalize on it
Go look at their drive chart for the Illinois game. They punted 4x and Illinois handed them the ball in their own territory 4x. Their best drive was a 67 yard FG drive. Dogshit Illinois offense scored 16 on them after 3 Turnovers and a turnover on downs. All in scoring position.
Washington was down 14-6 at the start of the 4th. Ohio state struggled to move the ball and score. Washington didn’t turn it over like Illinois did. Washington couldn’t score because they’re mediocre AF.
Texas had the ball at midfield with 2 minutes remaining and a shot to go score a tying TD or game winning 2pt conversion.
Do that shite against complete teams on both sides of the ball and you’re not going to hold them to 16 or 7.

If not for a shanked FG Ryan Day would have one more natty and Kirby would have 1 less natty.
There isn't a program in the country that would choose Kirby over Day right now.

Kirby is the best coach in the country. Start a thread on this board and see how many upvotes you get for Kirby and downvotes you get for Day. Big10 homers are delusional.

They’ve shown enough times that they can expose themselves in games. They’ve played nobody with an offense near as good as Indiana. On a night where they’re having trouble sustaining drives, that’s a dangerous opponent.
Just stop with this. OSU knows their defense is going to hold teams down so Day was playing conservative the first 6 games of the year.
OSU plays intentionally slow, so they aren't going to score 50 points. When OSU was up 34-10 on Illinois in the 4th quarter, they ran the ball up the middle 3 times and punted the entire quarter.
Both teams played Penn State in November. OSU outgained PSU 480-200 yards. They outgained PSU by 280 yards. What did Indiana do to that same team the next week, when PSU had just gotten blown out by OSU? They went out and got out gained by PSU and were losing with 2 minutes left.
OSU's run game has gotten FAR better in the last 6 weeks, and Michigan's run defense is a top 15 unit in the entire country with 12 games of data. What did OSU do to their run defense? They just ran for 185 yards including a 20 play 12 minute drive when the game was already out of hand.
When OSU beats IU by 17+ points, then will we start saying what is the truth? That OSU is better than everyone by 2 possessions and Day is on another level than everyone else right now. They just are

You guys act like they’ve steamrolled everyone and they’re unbeatable. It’s a complete crock of shite. They’re a great team that has shown it can be vulnerable.

They literally have. No one has been within 2 possessions since Texas. OSU hasn't even gone to hurry up yet on offense and when they do, they are going to put up 50+

Notre Dame has also steamrolled 10 teams in a row which is pretty much on par with the teams you have played since Texas
Would you agree?

203 total yards against Texas. Punted 6x.
272 yards against Illinois. Punted 4x. Handed the ball inside the opponents 40 yard line 4x and scored 34. Longest drive 67 yards and a FG.
Washington 357 yards, pulled away from a 1 score game in the fourth quarter and scored 24 points.
That’s not some unstoppable machine of a team. That’s a team that is vulnerable if the offense isn’t on its game.
Their D played zero top 20 scoring offenses.

Again, you are stuck in the first 6 games of the year when OSU wasn't even using Bo Jackson as its primary RB. It's like teams get better

Well they didn’t really play anybody on the back half. Schedule was pathetic. Michigan is terribly overrated, got best by multiple scores against everyone with a pulse and that’s their best back half opponent. Everyone else was really bad. All 5 had losing league records. Combined Big Ten record of the final 6 opponents was 17-37—Michigan accounting for 7 of the wins. Average record of the other 5 was 2-7.
It’s pretty hard to lose a game when you get the ball on opposing territory 4x. The fact they only scored 34 in that Illinois game should send off some alarms. Lowly Wisconsin scored 27 on them, held them to 10, went over 300 yards, and did so without a single TO forced.
They’ve played a really soft schedule against nobody that has a high powered offense. They could come out and kick the shite out of everyone, they definitely have the most talent. But this isn’t some flawless team for the ages.

And I realize I am sounding like the biggest homer this side of Jerry supporting the dongs for the Yankees.
But I legit think people are trying as hard as they can to not acknowledge that OSU right now looks 2 possessions better than anyone else. If they lose, they lose, but that doesn't mean they haven't looked like a top 5 team all time through the first 12 games

How many games of OSU have you watched every snap? Honest question.
It isn't the score or the lack of scoring for other teams, it is the way OSU is handling these teams. I have watched a lot of OSU teams who have been really good teams (3 national title teams), and they didn't handle bad teams like this team has.
I think ND is the 2nd or 3rd best team in the country today. I think the SEC has a bunch of good, not great teams.
Sagarin is basically my feelings. OSU is #1 and ND is #2.

I would pick Ohio State to win the national championship right now but they aren't that tested. Elite may be understating how good the defense is, and the offense is very good bordering elite but it's not like it's some sort of historic machine.

Georgia, Indiana, Texas Tech, Oregon, Alabama, Notre Dame, and Miami are all capable of beating them, but again if I had to pick right now I'd take Ohio State to win it all.
I’m with you for the most part on this. As of now, I think Ohio St would be my pick also. There is no denying they have an arse load of elite talent on both sides of the ball. However, they haven’t been truly tested and we don’t exactly know how they will respond to a team that can punch back. We may start seeing a clearer picture on Saturday.
I think most of the teams you listed are capable of beating Ohio St except Miami. This might not be popular, but I would have A&M over Miami. If Kiffin was still at Ole Miss, I would have them listed.

I don’t see how Bama beats them. The Tide can’t run the ball, and that Buck State defense is legit. If you let that D just play against the pass and stop the run with base defense it’s going to be tough
As is, it would be ugly most likely. Like a 14 point lead all game where Alabama never threatened to come back.
