We were lunch where they had Finebaum and Heather whoever saying something about the game, I couldn't hear, but I wondered why anyone would think they have anything uniquely insightful to offer.

How far did you drive to get there?
My grandpa actually did go to the game, and was supposedly quite upset afterwards.  I mean back then, a fumble out of bounds went to the other team.  The Buckeyes fumbled out of bounds when running out the clock and blew a 13-0 lead in the 4th quarter.

Well, since I've already infected your B1G board, and the SEC board is a morgue, I'll just have to interject my unsolicited opinions on CFB over here.

I don't see ND keeping this one close.  The chasm between the top 3-4 teams in the country, and the field, is absolutely absurd.

I have no doubt that ND is probably a legit Top 10 team, but these days that doesn't mean a whole lot.

Buckeyes by 17.

at least 17?

17 doesn't seem like an absurd chasm

#2 vs #5 and 17 pts isn't enough of a beatdown to justify a chasm?  Just looked and Vegas has it at OSU -17.5.  Maybe I am underestimating.

But yeah, 17 pts....or more.

Depends on how it happens.

If, for example, the Buckeyes were up by only 3 points with 3 minutes left in the game, and the Irish had possession and were driving, but then had an unlucky turnover returned for a TD... and then, after the ensuing kickoff, on the Irish next drive, a fumble on their own 3 or 4 yard line, recovered by the Bckeyes and the Buckeyes could just kneel the ball and end the game, but instead decide to use all of their starters to drive in another TD with a few seconds left to make the score look worse...

...then no, I wouldn't call that a chasm.

I expect a straight up, steamrolling.  No frills.  Just one team dominating the other, soundly.

I didn't think I'd have to spell all of that out, and it would be assumed.

Teach you to assume anything around here.  You always gotta spell it out.

I expect you're right.

Just saying, not all 17 point wins, are a beatdown or represent a "chasm."

Once you get to the SEC, you won't have to be so detail oriented.

Chasm means ass whipping from now on.  Period.  :)

Only about 100 miles to Columbus for me but I'd have to drive 88 mph in this car to make that game:

LoL, we'll debate anything here and we actually had essentially this same discussion earlier in this very thread.

The problem with point spreads and using MOV is that not all 17 point wins are alike.

My favorite example is two Ohio State games that I attended:
21 point win over Iowa sometime in the mid-1990's: The Buckeyes just jumped all over the Hawkeyes and ran up a 56-0 lead in a game where it looked like Varsity vs PeeWee. Then Ohio State's backups, 3rd stringers, waterboys, and cheerleaders got outscored 35-0 for a 56-35 win that wasn't anywhere near that close.

22 point win over Penn State about 10 years later: The Buckeyes and Nittany Lions played a VERY tough and nearly evenly matched defensive struggle for about three and a half quarters. Each team scored twice with Ohio State building up a 14-6 lead solely on the basis of better goal line performance. With time winding down Paterno was forced to unshakle his QB in an effort to come back and the QB promptly showed everyone why Paterno had been so reluctant to let him air it out in the first place. Penn State threw pick-6's on back-to-back drives (I think it was back-to-back plays) which resulted in a final score of 28-6.

Wow, my Grandparents attended as well. At least I'm fairly certain that they did. 

My grandpa died of alzheimer's before I was old enough to ask him but grandma claimed that he took her to a game in Columbus against Notre Dame. That could only be the 1935 loss to Notre Dame. 

The reason I'm not completely certain is that grandma wasn't the most reliable source especially on sports and she said it was a win so, I don't know.

They lived in Zanesville at the time but I honestly don't know if they could have afforded the trip in the middle of the Great Depression but maybe. Grandma was teaching school and Grandpa was working a slew of odd jobs to try to cobble together an income. They actually dated for almost a decade because they couldn’t afford to get married because back then female teachers had to be single and they couldn't afford to get by on one income.
