UGA a few years back managed 15-0.  That is really unlikely, I think, possible, but unlikely.  You'd think they probably blasted inferior opponents, but they needed a rather remarkable comeback to beat Missouri, a mediocre team, 26-22.  They handled everyone else reasonably well, Kent State was about their second closest RS win at 39-22.  Then of course they needed a flat miracle to beat Ohio State.  So, presume they really were the "best team" that year, they could easily have been 12-1 and eliminated in round one.

You need breaks to go undefeated, some lesser teams have a shot at tripping you up.

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.
oh just like a myopic michican miscreant on these pages referring to jeem after losing 5 straight to tOSU then chickeneing out vs tOSU while going 2-4 in 2020. Bloviating harbaugh was in concusion protocol, cognitive decline and a complete whack job. The strange thing is what about that team that didn't have good draft classes that would miraculously lead to a 3 season run of 40-3 record,hmm

I see this as such a tough call.  Last year's team was phenomenal in the playoffs and won the NC but they would have been under on this projection but then again, the recent history:

  • 10-2 in 2024
  • 11-1 in 2023
  • 11-1 in 2022
  • 10-2 in 2021
  • Ignore 2020 due to shortened schedule/COVID
  • 12-0 in 2019
  • 11-1 in 2018
  • 10-2 in 2017
  • 11-1 in 2016
  • 11-1 in 2015
  • 11-1 in 2014
So in the last 10 normal seasons the Buckeyes went:
  • 12-0 once
  • 11-1 six times
  • 10-2 three times

History says that the most likely outcome is to match the O/U of 11 with 12-0 slightly less likely then 10-2.  

I'm going under because PSU should be better than they've been for most of the above history, Michigan probably won't be as good as their cheating-fueled high but also not as bad as their pre-cheating norm and Texas is a tougher than average marquee OOC game.

(Actually I think the Buckeyes will probably win that opening game, so much talent and the game's at home.  OSU is being forced to reload at a lot of positions, but so is Texas.  Likely depends on how quickly each OSU unit can ramp up under new coordinators, one thing Texas has going for it is continuity in coaching, for the time being)

Things have changed so much.

Of course I want my Buckeyes to win but it really doesn't matter. Realistically the winner will be the team that gets things together first but that is NOT necessarily the team that will be better in December/January and, if I could pick one of the two, I'd MUCH rather be better in December/January. 

Twenty years ago I was in Ohio Stadium for tOSU's showdown with the Vince Young led Longhorns. That was a great game, very even, and came down to the last few minutes. The result was also VERY important. Ohio State's loss effectively eliminated them from the NC race and Texas wouldn't have gone to the BCSNCG without their win. 

This year's game *MIGHT* have some impact on seeding but for the most part it is a glorified exhibition with little or no impact.

The most likely results are obviously 10-2 oe 11-2, while 12-0 seems a bit more likely than 9-3, to me anyway.  An 8-4 season would be viewed as, well, bad, but probably would mean a rash of injuries somewhere.  Anything below that is not really very possible at all.

I think 9-3 is their worst case scenario season and 12-0 is obviously best case scenario season. neither is likely to happen imo- as for either scenario they would need either a very lot to go right to hit 12-0 or a very lot to go wrong to hit 9-3, so I think they split the diff and go like 10-2 and make the playoff.

TL; DR

Only scored 10 points. Lost at home. As 3 TD favorites. To a walk-on QB who threw for 60 yards. OUCH. 

hey, I'd be salty too.:)
