Too early?

Best and worst outcomes. No need to factor in OSU (e.g., data-processing error resulting in dual forfeit and dual, whole-team, season-ending drug suspensions is a perfectly reasonable scenario).

For me, the smart money is a PSU win to make Week 9 a more meaningful game for the Buckeyes. The downside for this outcome is that Hoke could be dumped in the Week 8 bye week for UM and I'd be chagrined not to see the crossed, sleeveless arms and truck stop sunglasses during the Game.

So, I'm rolling with a UM win at home and jittery week of frenetic, Randy "the Macho Man" Savage-esque interviews from Franklin in prepping for Week 9. I would be concerned with a wounded Nittany Lion scenario, but "sometimes you gotta say 'what the fuck,' make your move."

Thoughts?
