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

Both teams are coming off of very low scoring games with each team scoring just 10 points their last time out.  Miami beat aTm 10-3 in the CFP first round while Ohio State lost 13-10 to Indiana in the B1GCG.  So now they face each other with tOSU -9.5 and an O/U of 42.5.  FWIW, Vegas is thus predicting something like a 26-16 or 26-17 Ohio State win.  

Series history:
Ohio State leads the series 3-2 and won by far the biggest game in the series.  Ohio State won the 2003 Fiesta Bowl aka 2002 BCSNCG 31-24 in 2OT.  None of the other games involved NC contenders:

• Ohio State won 10-0 in Columbus on 9/10/1977.  The Buckeyes finished 9-3 and #11 that year while Miami finished 3-8 and unranked.  
• Miami won 23-12 at the Meadowlands in NJ in the 1999 Kick-off Classic on 8/29/1999.  The Hurricanes finished 9-4 and #23 that yere while Ohio State finished 6-6 and unranked.  
• Ohio State won 31-24 in 2OT in the aforementioned Fiesta Bowl / BCSNCG on 1/3/2003.  
• Ohio State won 36-24 in Columbus on 9/11/2010.  The Buckeyes finished 12-1 and #5 while Miami finished 7-6 and unranked.  
• Miami won 24-6 at home (home being a nearby NFL stadium) on 9/17/2011.  Both teams finished around .500 and unranked.  

I don't know how to predict anything involving OSU, as their most recent outing was so different than the rest of their season.  Except for their defense, which was still obscene in a good way.

If Miami can't score, they can't win.

Indy might shutout the Tide
