Didn't these 2 teams play just last year? Didn't ND lead most of the 4th? Didn't OSU need ND to only have 10 defenders on the last play?

I don't think OSU is head and shoulders better than the Catholics.

Yah OSU beat Texas by 2 scores but The Horns were 1st and goal at the 1 from tying this game up. 

This could be a really good game. I mean I'm rooting for a 21-0 OSU lead at the end of the first type game, but this could be a real slugfest.

If OSU can pull this off, then they would have won at least one under each format; 12 team playoff, 4 team playoff, BCS, and of course several under the "beat Michigan and win the Rose Bowl if eligible" system.

I'd like to see this relative to opposition because my impression is that Ohio State has played a much tougher schedule. 

College Football Nerds will have it up soon.

I like all the posts online about how many ranked teams ND played, ignoring that Army and Navy were 2 of them.

I thought the same thing about Ohio State tying a record by beating four top-5 teams. 

Apparently LSU-19, USC-67, and ND-43 were the only teams to do so previously. 

I'm a lot more interested in final rank of opponents than gameday rank of opponents.

nd's defense & oline (backs too) are really good but riley leonard is atrocious & the ohst d is elite. this feels like a game that'll be a slow bleed ohst gets up by a score early & the nd offense puts their d in bad spots asking it to save them over & over until the dam breaks late.

-9.5 tells it all & i would lay the points.

there is a world where nd wins but i don't think it's going to happen. will howard is a really good player & has never looked better to me than he has this playoff. that said he'll throw it up for grabs if you can get heat on him. i saw him do it plenty at kst & he did it last night. nd would have to get to him consistently & produce turnovers.

i just hope the game is good. idk how they lost two games but they had no biz doing so.

I feel very confident in saying this....Ohio State is going to beat the absolute fuck out of Notre Dame. This is a really bad matchup for Notre Dame.
More or less confident than when you said this:

Any time you hear this kind of excuse before hand- expect a beat down coming. I already thought Notre Dame was probably overrated and offensively challenged with a shitty QB that can't pass the ball at all and that they'd lose in a close one to Penn State. Switching it up to the blow out. Penn State big.

Personally, I think Ohio State is a step up from Penn State this year--their game in Happy Valley suggested that--so yeah, ND is DOOOOOOOOOOMED!
That said, can we agree on what the excuse will be if OSU loses? Is it the unfair schedule; that they had a tougher road? Or will there be another reason?

What times are these that honest Buckeyes come to the defense of outlandish Michigan fans?

Next thing you know passing ruffians will say “knee” to old ladies.
