^Penn State has been "on a roll" lately.


They did beat the Buckeyes, so there's that. But, no one in the country thinks PSU is better than Ohio State right now. If they were to play again, most would have the Buckeyes favored to win.


How about Wisconsin? Their only losses were close games against Ohio State and Michigan. Wisconsin has been good this year, and I knew they would end up in the Big10 Title game.


I actually think that not making the Title game ended up benefitting the Buckeyes. As it stands now, Ohio State will get in the playoffs (99% sure they will).


If the Buckeyes had to play in the Championship game against Wisconsin, Ohio State would've certainly HAD to win that game to advance to the playoffs. Wisconsin took them to overtime and nearly beat the Buckeyes. It wouldn't have surprised me if Wisconsin beat them in a re-match game.


If the Buckeyes were to have lost against Wisconsin, playoffs may have been gone for them.


Ohio State lucked out.
