Nah, there's a difference between seeing an occasional upset (undoubtedly they happen), and downplaying your team's chances every week, or nearly every week. The former is reasonable, the latter is sandbagging. And there's some of that to go around. :-)

Just pointing out what is possible.   For us that have been watching this sport for a long time- surprises are to be expected from time to time. 
And when a team has its “ Super Bowl”, the savior game, they have gut level motivation.  

For physical team sports, especially if you have played them, true gut level motivation can’t be manufactured or faked.  
 
It’s often not enough to get you over the hump of better talent.   But- sometimes it is.  

I am not predicting it.   Just saying it isn’t impossible- or even shocking.

OSU is vastly superior to most every team in the country. It's talent and coaching, and everything related.
they are superior. not vastly superior.

I don't see any juggernaut team out there in CFB that is a lock to go wire to wire undefeated. Ohio State is a great team, but they can be had like anyone else on any given Saturday.

having said that....this Penn State team stinks and is not the team that will get em.

Penn State gonna get spanked.  They are terrible.  Any Buckeye fan saying otherwise is sandbagging, badly.

I'd look forward to getting tickets with the purchase of every 2 - 2 liter bottles of Coke Products just like a few years ago. :d030:

I mean it would be tough for PSU to win but of their four losses one was in OT and the rest were by a combined 7 points, so I think the predictions of OSU running away with this are also pretty off. This will be a tough game.

Oh no SAM.    Ohio State is the greatest team in history.  And they will win by 40.  😂😂

if you think anything different- your a pessimist and a Sandbagger. 

Am I doing this right lol.

Yeah. Great OSU teams NEVER lose to much lesser Boilermaker teams in West Lafayette. In fact, I can't ever remember it happening. Much less multiple times in the last two decades. 

There's NO WAY.

I "liked" because this was well played and because there are three things that make this more funny than concerning:
  • I think that this Ohio State team is better than the three that lost to Purdue in the last two decades. 
  • I think that this Purdue team is worse than the three that beat Ohio State in the last two decades. 
  • Most importantly, in the 12-team CFP era an upset loss at Purdue would be a forgotten footnote on the way to the playoff rather than a crushing defeat that derails a Championship run.

The season has to count for something and it's extremely difficult since adding the 4 PAC teams to go thru the schedule unscathed(with extensive travel vs some stout squads). Or thru the S-E-C, S-E-C schedule either ;D since expansion. So I liked the old format as it was difficult to back in.

On the other hand last year tOSU was able to redeem itself in it's Play Off Run by beating 6 post season AP top 10 teams. Pretty wild taking it to #2, #3, #4, #5, #9, and #10 - that has never been done. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
