It would be interesting to see a UGA-OSU final, a great O and great D on the same field in opposition.

Essentially a computer ranking, where they are up front about what they are measuring. Take yards per play and adjust based on opponent and the situation per play (i.e. a four yard gain on 3rd and 3 is good, on 3rd and 10 not so much, at least on offense. Vice versa on defense).
So it didn't predict Illinois-Penn St in other words

whatever that is worth

Penn State fans on a couple different message boards are predicting OSU puts 100 points on them Saturday night.

OSU has only broken the century mark once, and it was against Oberlin

Yeah, I could easily see a score like 54-27 OSU winning, no doubt.

I doubt it will be 20-18 in 9 OTs.

Think it was like 1893 Oberlin beat both UM/tOSU,some guy named Heisman was coaching them

Right now, I don't see Penn State scoring 20 points against anyone, let alone Ohio State.  I think the defense will perform well in the first half, then get worn down as they end up spending 45 minutes on the field.

Reminds me of 2014 or 2017 for Ohio State.   Lost a marquee matchup early to an out of conference, highly visible opponent.  (VT and Oklahoma)

Started improving each week and blowing teams off the field.

Came into the Penn State week as heavy favorites, but barely escaped both times after knockdown drag out affairs against the Nittany Lions

In college football nothing is more dangerous than a team with talent that has their backs absolutely against the wall.
