2025 OSU Record Prediction
« on: July 15, 2025, 06:41:21 PM »
I'll do 2 of these each week, with the top and bottom.

Once SP+ puts in their week by week chances I'll go to that, but now we have Massey...

TEXAS --- W (0.76)
GRAMBLING --- W (1)
OHIO --- W (1)
@Washington --- W (0.91)
MINNESOTA --- W (0.95)
@Illinois --- W (0.92)
@Wisconsin --- W (0.92)
PSU --- W (0.75)
@Purdue --- W (0.98)
UCLA --- W (0.97)
RUTGERS --- W (0.96)
@Michigan --- W (0.72)

12-0 based on W/L, but based on win probability it's 10.84

So make your picks on O/U 11 wins

I just don’t see a loss in that schedule. Maybe Texas in week 1, but not with a new QB starting on the road. 

If Texas wins at Ohio Stadium they’re my favorite to win the NC.

Probably over. But it is tasty thinking on that Texas game.

11 feels like a don't touch.  I can't imagine them going 10-2 with that schedule, but I'd never bet on a team going 12-0.

Texas is an L much of the Buckeyes stable of stalwarts have moved on. Can't replace that experience and chemistry even with raw talent coming in. Horns bringing back a lot with an axe to grind and are 1-0 in the 'Shoe ('05) they went on to win it all that year. Perhaps history repeats itself and IMO tOSU will drop at least another,perhaps the Ninnies,Huskies or the Walvies. So 10-2

The Penn State Squad is for real this year.  I also think Michigan will be legit this year and obviously Texas.  

Combine that with a brand, new quarterback, and historically that’s not a great recipe. It generally leads to inconsistency.  I will go under.

The Buckeyes are breaking in a new QB this year.  Always makes things dicey early on in the season.

yeah, they are not only breaking in a new rs frosh QB, but they are also breaking in a new OC, new DC, and they just lost 14 players to the NFL draft. that's a lot of turnover.

I think Texas gets them game 1. Arch will be ready for his prime time break out imo and there is also the revenge factor for Texas for the playoff loss.

Often, a top team loses one game to a near peer and suffers an upset to a nonpeer.

10-2 would be reasonable.  11-1 is more likely I think than 9-3.

I'd say the same for UGA/ND/Bama/Texas/PSU ...

I'm gonna say under.  Top end talent is great, but they whiffed hard on the spring portal window and have a major problem with DT depth.  They are 1 or 2 injuries away from being a team that can't stop the run up the middle.  Also, anytime there's a new QB, we can expect some rough games here and there.  I wouldn't be shocked with a 2-2 start with Texas and a tough road game @Washington.  On the positive side, this is the best I've felt about the OL in a long time, so if Sayin can get up to speed, the offense could really cook later in the year.

If they start 0-1, are we gonna get more of the Bucknut-meltdowns calling for Day's head again, before they go on to win another NC?

nah. some fans will bitch of course but it won't be insane if they start 0-1 he'll be fine so long as they get on a roll as the young QB gets acclimated....which they inevitably will start rolling with all the talent they have.

but need not worry my friend, if they lose to Michigan in Ann Arbor in November and he drops 5 in a row to Michigan the Bucknutjob meltdowns will commence in full force and Day will need a Secret Service detail when he gets back to Columbus.
