I’ve been saying all year that I think they are the best team and nothing has changed my mind about that.
Yes me too at least in the BIG

if you would have told me at the start of the season that Ohio State would be 11 and zero at this point I would’ve been in disbelief and of course ecstatic.
Disbelief yes,happy sure

With all the new faces and changes in a super tough schedule.
IMO not a SUPER TOUGH schedule, ND/PSU then 9 contests against vastly over matched squads

Even with 9 outclassed opponents, the chances of a slip up are still pretty good.  You have to be mentally tuned up to go 11-0 I think.  Not many teams do it (duh), even the really good teams.

You only have to play them one at a time,so two tough outs and the rest not so much.Though the Blue Bloods do have a target on them

6 road games v 5 for UM as an example.  Georgia only had 4. 

SOS compared to others in the top 5. 

Still tough.

100%. 

it's HARD to go 12-0 in college football in a P5 conference. it's just a hard thing to do.

JJ has played significantly worse in the games that Sherrone Moore has been the HC. 

Maybe Moore should go back to being OC/OL coach only and they let Mike Hart be the head coach? Not sure I buy Moore as a player caller or HC, but he's a damn good recruiter and OL coach. One of the best in the biz when it comes to OL's and 'crootin them. Not really sure on the other stuff....

Based on probability, it's unlikely.  If you have a 95% chance of winning each of ten games, your probability of going 10-0 is surprisingly low.  We usually see 1-2-3   12-0 teams each season.

And of course, one of two 11-0 teams will lose next week, at least.

I don't know.

Now that we know Michigan cheated the last two years and that those booger-wins will be vacated Day is officially what, 4-0 against Michigan?
Lmao. This is pure fantasy. 

Ohio State fans are complete whack jobs. If Day loses this year and is 0-3 in the last 3 vs Michigan, his seat is going to start to warm up. And if he somehow loses next year at home and falls to 0-4 in the last 4....his ass will likely be on the chopping block. 

Ohio State has without doubt the most psycho path fans outside of SEC country, and it's not close. Day is about as good as it gets as a coach, and if he goes 0-4 in the last 4....he'll be playing with fire....despite winning basically every other one of his games. 

I'd say it'd be 50-50 chance he got fired IF he went 0-4 in the last 4, and then if he did keep his job he'd 10000% be coaching for that motherfcker in '25 and even if he went 11-1 again but lost to Michigan they'd fire him. That's how psychotic that fan base is.

Perhaps just taking in all of the backlash or just trying to avoid injury.I'm not reading alot into it.This game seems to be his elixir

College Gameday and Big Noon Kickoff will both be in Ann Arbor for THE GAME. 

My sincere hope is that Michigan refuses to give ESPN any access to school property or press passes. Ban 'em from coming. Fk em.

I think every fan base (parts of) thinks ESPN is biased and against them and their conference.

ESPN is definitely biased against the B1G. They lost the B1G media rights. And the B1G games on Fox/NBC/CBS are crushing ESPN/ABC in the ratings.
