The harsh (but fair) write-up is as follows:

Ohio State [18-10 (10-5), RPI: 73, SOS: 68] The Watch heard the Buckeyes mentioned with respect to the bubble a few times over the weekend. Stop. Conference record is not an official selection committee criteria for exactly this reason: Some leagues play imbalanced conference schedules. As of Tuesday morning, all but one of OSU's vaunted 10 league wins have come against Illinois (twice), Penn State, Northwestern (twice), Minnesota, Rutgers (twice) and Nebraska. The Buckeyes are 2-7 against the top 100 and 8-9 against the top 150. The only reason they're here -- besides the seriousness with which we take our role as a bubble educator -- is because their final three games are against Michigan State (home), Iowa (home) and Michigan State (road), and that's close enough to "work to do" to make an exception. Beat the Spartans on Tuesday and we'll talk, eh?
