I know that @betarhoalphadelta is going to tell me that these are #helmetschoolproblems and that is fair because they are but this is helmet school fandom reality.

Unsurprisingly, I was amped up throughout the game Saturday night and borderline euphoric when Trayanum crossed the goal line and Ohio State won. A little later my wife asked why I didn't seem happier.

Well . . .

Ohio State just won a true road game over a top-10 opponent at night. For every B1G team except Ohio State and *MAYBE* Michigan and Penn State that would be an unconditional cause for celebration. With Ohio State it is different, there are buts:

but they only won by three.
but ND only had 10 guys on the field for the last two plays.
but maybe ND is overrated (happens a lot) so maybe this wasn't *REALLY* a win over a top-10 team.
etc, etc.

For the vast majority of programs the above "buts" wouldn't even be discussed. Like I said, for the vast majority of programs a night road win over a top-10 team is an unconditional cause for celebration. There would be NO QUESTIONS at all.

STAMFORD, Conn. – Sept. 25, 2023 – NBC Sports drew its largest regular-season college football audience in 30 years for No. 6 Ohio State’s down-to-the-wire 17-14 win over No. 9 Notre Dame, with a touchdown in the closing seconds on Saturday night.

The Buckeyes’ three-point victory over the Fighting Irish averaged 10.5 million viewers across NBC, Peacock and NBC Sports Digital, ranking as NBC Sports’ second-most watched regular season college football game of all-time, behind only then-No. 2 Notre Dame’s “Game of the Century” 31-24 defeat of No. 1 Florida State on Nov. 13, 1993 (22 million viewers).
