Alabama would have "destroyed" the Buckeyes..

Clevfan4life

If the Bucks went undefeated and got into the title game. I'm almost glad this happened so that I wouldn't have had to witness another SEC obliteration of an OSU team. The Buckeyes O line is utter fail. They couldn't contain PSU's front 4, Bama's front 4 would have killed JT.

The Buckeyes were really flat! And Urban is 20-1 now on the road.

Pumpkin Eater

They have a lot of work to do.

but of course, even in a loss, this only hurts Michigan. Those bastards.

Bucks have some old flaws and some new issues as well. Early down calls need fixed and the WR's need to start consistently winning 1 on 1's.

Of course some high percentage concepts to help JT and the running early on would help.

All fixable and if we learned anything today, Bama has a great defense, a good oline but still rocking a true frosh at QB. They arent world beaters. Nobody is this year.

Clevfan4life

Yeah the qb is bamas only conceivable weakness. The bucks front 7 would have kept the game reasonable for a little while but they woyld have been on the field the whole game.

I cant beleive how bad and anemic this urban meyer offense looks. And the o line is terrible. Barrett would be a perfect draft pick for us cause after this season he could come to the browns and pick up right where he left off ditching the pocket after 1.5 seconds.

tiamat63

The Oline is good when the defense doesnt get to pin their ears back. It's the disadvantage of youth combined with developing talent.

Bama had the same issues. Most teams do when you take away what they're best at.

If the running game doesn't work, then little else does.

edit: doesn't help when you ignore your best playmaker either.

"Destroy"? Doubt it... The Buckeyes have tended to play to the level of the competition.

Still a chance we'll see the match up come playoff time if we run the table.

fucking ohio could have beaten us last night barrett looked like shit coaching misfires (mainly not getting the fieldgoal unit out on time) the game was complete shit i allmost fell asleep

BUT it was only one game and just as long as we win "THE GAME" i'll be pleased we have a very young team and i did not expect us to compete for the playoffs this year

I dont think OSU makes the title game without major help from other teams.

bullshit,all they have to do is win out and what the fuck do you care YOU just said you didn't want to see em in the title game anyway

The Cysko Kid

Yeah it happens. So be it. The loss has been hanging out there for about three games waiting for someone to reach out and grab it and Penn state did. It is what it is. This is a team full of young guys and they'll get better. If Michigan manages to get in the playoffs I'll still hate them but I'll reluctantly root for them over Alabama. Like the first baseman in major league.

Not so fast, they will have plenty of time to regroup before Nov. 26 IN Columbus.

Plus the OSU/PSU game was a debacle but it was a real anomaly one of those if they played 10 times things.

Relax there are a few games yet before "The Game".

OSU losing this game only helps them against Michigan. The bastards.

If Ohio St. plays the way they did Saturday, yep, they probably would.

I am not sure what it is about the Buckeyes, they do seem to cack up a furball like this every once in a while.

But then they usually recover.

Well, clearly OSU has to win out.

IF OSU were to win out it would be they would have secured big wins over Michigan and Nebraska? maybe?

Would a 1 loss OSU make into the Field of Four? It would mean several other currently undefeated teams would have to lose.

Presumably Two of those would be Mich and Neb.

Then you have Baylor and WVa. One of them will lose as they play each other later.....but the other would also have to lose somewhere along the way. If OK beats them....then OSU has the advantage as they beat OK.

Does anyone see Alabama, Clemson or Washington losing? I do not. So I think they take up 3 slots.

If OSU goes into it with one loss.....then as I see it, their biggest competition for the playoff slot would be the 1 loss Louisville Cardinals.

Woody is right though, this OSU loss would hurt Michigan.....but only if they also lose a game. They obviously go in if they win out.

But losing early is better than losing late. We have all learned that.

A late loss by Mich.....if its their only loss, would spell doom for them vs. other 1 loss teams.

I think the loss by A&M kicks them out of consideration. Even if Alabama were to lose a game....they would still have that win over A&M. If tied with 1 loss in the SEC West Alabama still goes to the SEC title game...and certainly to the Playoffs.

For a lot of other teams to have some chance, the same thing would have to happen to Washington or Clemson.....lose to a big underdog, for them to get playoff consideration.

Great teams lose individual games all the time. Not that big a deal. Relax. They will have one loss going into the Michigan game.

OHIO STATE won the National Championship after losing to VT early and a few QBs.

They still have a young team this year after stocking the NFL Draft last year plus some stiff competition out there.
