Last two seasons- OSU going on the road after tough, emotional home wins, got smoked by 2 teams nowhere near as good as the two teams at the end of this year’s schedule. 
Not happening this year.

Please do not decide the fate of other teams while reeling from your own defeat.   It may be the case that Ohio State walks to the playoffs, but we will know that when it happens, not before.

Good teams can lose games. OSU is still far above PSU and MSU.

Neither team is close to OSU.
Still having flashbacks to having to play MSU the week before the Michigan game in 2015.

I’d have them 1, LSU 2, and bama/Clemson 3/4.
Osu definitely looks the most complete so far and they have good wins with no close call head scratchers.

Penn State, M*ch, and B1G Championship game, according to ESPN is the toughest 3 weeks of football anyone plays this year.
And they project to be favored by double digits three games in a row.

I have been saying OSU is the most complete team out there (with Fields healthy).  They remind me of Bama 2018 (before the NCG).

He got beat up pretty good yesterday. Probably the first time this season?? I don't think any other defense has been able to consistently get to him like UW did for 3 quarters. I don't think there is anyone ready, behind him.

Yeah, I watched, they did put some licks on him, but I think anything other than a turned ankle or knee injury will just have him a bit sore.  He's a tough kid, and bigger than you might think.

Some fun matchups in the playoff would be:

LSU-OSU
OU-Alabama
UGA-OSU

Missouri-Clemson and UGA-UDubb are not likely now of course.

I'd have LSU at #2 personally.

I think for OSU to lost we'd need a 0-3 TO margin and some other bad breaks, other than with Michigan.

They can still lose in AA and make the playoffs of course. 

Clemson is in better shape due to schedule of course.  I'd pencil both in, lightly, weird things happen, we all know.

I like LSU in the SEC, probably at 12-1, if they don't lose to Bama of course, and I lean to thinking they win that one on the road.

The Pac now has two one loss teams in contention (again).

Obviously it is over if Fields gets knocked out. QB depth has been the glaring weakness since the final seconds ticked off in the Rose Bowl.

Day will have to prove that he can recruit in the trenches in order to maintain what the Urbs was cooking.

The D-Line recruiting will be fine as long as Larry Johnson is hanging around. Jury is still out on the O-Line.

Neither Penn St nor Michigan will be afraid of the Buckeyes.

I think anyone can recruit in C-bus.  There would be "elite" versus "excellent" perhaps as a difference.

Fields certainly has been the "X factor" needed to raise them from excellent to elite this year, I think, but the rest of the team is elite.  You're welcome.
