How do you expect the Leaders division to finish? Who will be heading to Indianapolis?

I have this:

Ohio State - 10-2 (6-2)
Wisconsin - 9-3 (5-3)
Penn State - 8-4 (4-4)
Indiana - 6-6 (4-4)
Illinois - 6-6 (3-5)
Purdue 5-7 (2-6)

Purdue, Indiana, Illinois to round out the bottom, I think Purdue does bettr this year, and one more win for the buckeyes, ;)

If the offense improves its stalling issues between monster drives, who on that schedule does the two loses come from. Northwestern and Mich look like the hardest games, but I still like the Bucks odds.

Pay It Forward!

Ohio State - 12-0 (8-0)
Wisconsin - 8-4 (6-2)
Penn State - 9-3 or 8-4 or 7-5(I'm leaning toward 9-3 since the UCF and M*chigan games are at home.)

Don't care about the rest. lol

Who do you have them losing those 2 games to?

M*chigan is probably one.

I'm assuming that question was directed at me.

I don't have any two games circled, per se, but any of @Cal, Wisconsin, @Purdue, @Northwestern, @Michigan. Aside from the level of returning and incoming talent and a great coach, I still think it's too difficult to run the table again, even in the putrid B1G.

Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!

@Cal worries me, and is a game that I think many people are overlooking. @NW doesn't worry me at all. They might have a good team this year, but no matter what kind of season NW is having, the Buckeyes always seem to have their number. Clearly Ross Ade has given us headaches in the past, but not this year. We could start Kenny G and win by 3 TDs. Who's Wiscy's QB? No, really, who is it?

All this leads to the showdown @Michigan where I think we'll be favored, and I think we'll win, but a road rivalry win can never be assumed.

I'd almost guarantee that we're either underdogs or it's a pickem game in the Michigan game. In Ann Arbor + rivalry game + they will be a very good team.

Everyone had them going 9-3, 10-2 last year too I called 12-0 I'm calling it again our schedule is so weak

Current prediction is 11 - 1, with a loss coming on the road. If we have LB's that step-up, team leaders emerge and the front four gel... well 12-0.

I'd be surprised to see Penn State win anymore than 6 games. Depth is going to be a problem for them I suspect.

The Buckeyes schedule is manageable to say the least, but Wisconsin's schedule is bordering on MAC quality.

What do you guys think about having 2 byes on the schedule?

tunehtraef on 14 Mar 2013 - 9:46pm #

I hate having two off weeks, but they are placed well. When they beat Wiscy, it gives more motivation into winning at NW going into a bye. Then I'm sure Meyer and Co. will let them know a loss in East Lafayette going into a bye week would be less than pleasant for their workouts during the "of week"...

Get to 6-0, break, 9-0, break, finish out the year hopefully healthy and 12-0.

14-0. National champions. Offense will be awesome, the silver bullets will be very good.

I don't know about 2 loses though. The schedule is pretty easy. Not that there are not some big challenges thrown in there, but overall it is on the easy side. Aside from the game in Ann Arbor, I just don't see any other games where Ohio State is not at least a couple steps better than the opponent. Ohio State probably does drop one along the way because that's just the way things go, but I think they are about as likely to go 12-0 as they are 10-2.
