    I don't think the Buckeyes have the defense to beat Alabama. And they haven't played the schedule to prepare for them.

    George,

    I do not disagree with your thoughts, but it would be delightful to find out for certain! :lol:

    You guys are pretty good, to say the least. You don't play Mich State do you till the B1G Championship game, right?

    Terry,

    Correct, we do not play MSU or Nebraska this year in the regular season.

    Looks like MSU and Ohio State are likely picks for the B1G Ten title game.

    Nebraska got lucky on that Hail Mary pass at games end to win the game against Northwestern.

    Now MSU has to beat Nebraska in Lincoln, to advance to the title game, something they have not been able to do in the last six games!

    MSU v OSU, if they meet up in Indy, will essentially be a game between OSU past vs OSU present.

    Dantonio coaching philosophy was obviously influenced by Tressel and this year's team reminds me of the Buckeye teams of the early 2000s with its aggressive, intimidating defensive and a conservative but effective offense that does not beat itself with turnovers.

    They administered quite a beat down on us Saturday. They were much more physical, far more poised, and better coached. My sense is that OSU will win if they meet but not easily.

    Bobda,

    Pretty much my sentiments as well re MSU. However, we have to meet first. :lol:
