Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

heh... I think we all know that won't happen.   But I do think OSU will be playing for that ass-whipping from Bama the playoffs

Fixed.

Northwestern will be quite popular this week outside of Buckeye Nation. Some Michigan fans might reluctantly root against them, with an eye towards Pasadena. But they are perhaps a vocal minority within their fanbase.

If Oklahoma and Alabama win, the committee will sure be big Cat fans come Saturday night.

I was not aware that they were paid for their work. A stipend maybe, to cover expenses?

If Bama and Sooners win IMHO the BTCG is just for shits and giggles. 
Oklahoma would, and should go.   

99% sure your right. It’s just that I heard that for weeks the last time they played, and I heard that this last week from lots of my buds that are all UM guys.   And I am sure Purdue wS told that when the Buckeyes we’re heading to town.  
Just never know.  Lots of people probably saying that about NW this week too...…

There was a difference last time. I felt like OSU was a better team than given credit for and that Bama was beatable. OSU is indeed a good team this season, but Bama just looks to be on a different level - from anyone.

I have a red a couple of times that Northwestern‘s record over the last 16 conference games is 15 and one. Think about that. OSU and UM are both 14-2.  
NW is smart, physical, versatile and strong on defense with a Sunday QB.
You bet they watched a LOT of film from this weekend and beyond.
They are give OSU all, or more then they can handle by turning it into their kind of game.

I think this is right. NU will know what plays Ohio State runs. They will recognize the wheel route when Ohio State tries to draw their defenders out of their zone. They are smart and their defenders will stay at home where they belong and won't be drawn off. NU will not be as fast, but a few of them will be as fast. They will rely upon their knowledge of Ohio State's tendencies and anticipate to replace the advantage Ohio State has in speed.
I think it will be closer than a lot of people outside this board think. I don't think Ohio State scores 62. I think it will be within two scores. Advantage is with Ohio State. On Nov. 24, Northwestern did what Ohio State did getting ready for Maryland, but Northwestern only had Illinois on its schedule. I think NU has been prepping, while Ohio State had to get ready for Michigan, which at the time was the biggest game of their careers.
