Ohio State is the best team in the country. Wisconsin can make it a competitive game, but the odds of Wisconsin winning, are probably about 15%. I have not yet seen a spread on this one.

Ohio State by a lot.

I don't think by a lot, this time. OSU will win, but it's not going to be a blowout. UW has a ton more film to look at know, including their own game against them.

Hopefully, and it's a big hope right now, UW can have its full compliment of DL and DB's back for this game. All hands on deck.

Taylor will get loose a lot more this time.   First time the game was tight as hell deep into Q3, and that was with Taylor relatively contained.   I will not be optimistic until I see if the Buckeye defense can manage to keep the Badgers from going up and down the field.
i already know they have the physical tools to make OSU somewhat one dimensional on offense.  I see a 35-31 type of a game.

OSU has all the pieces this year:

1.  A major defense that can pressure the QB without blitzing.  BIG check mark.
2.  Potent offense with mobile QB who can extend plays and make throws, plus great running back and OL.
3.  Special teams play has been solid.

LSU can compare on offense I think but not defense.  Clemson might actually be sneaky good this year after everyone threw them out.  There is a large step down after those three I think.  I have stated that having three undefeated teams will be rare and here we are again on the cusp of that.

upsets happen

Go Bucky!

I think Wisconsin wins one time in ten, maybe, and probably needs a +3 TO margin.

Agreed. Maybe +2 would do it, but Ohio State is the far superior team. If the Badgers can milk the clock and get some turnover help, I can see it being close, but as noted previously, Wisconsin isn't built to come from behind against a team like Ohio State. Buckeye game plan should be similar to Wisconsin's against Minnesota (and Minnesota's against Wisconsin): limit the run, make them beat you through the air. Ohio State's athletes won't be beaten like Minnesota's, and Chase Young with his ears pinned back is trouble...big trouble. Chryst showed off his high-quality play-calling on Saturday, but against a much different opponent.

I'm ever hopeful, but at the end of the day, I just think Ohio State is a better team. Not 59-0 better, and probably not as bad as the last time, but at least two scores better.
