Pat Forde over @ yahoo.com has dropped a list of college football's most intriguing games for 2015 and as you might have guessed, tOSU shows up on the list a couple times.
Their first appearance comes at #2, against ttun. Here's what Pat has to say about the match up:
2. Ohio State at Michigan, Nov. 28. Is one of the game’s great rivalries back, with the arrival/return of Jim Harbaugh to Ann Arbor? Eventually Harbaugh vs. Urban Meyer could be the 21st century version of Bo vs. Woody – but how soon? The Buckeyes should be undefeated and the Wolverines defeated multiple times by the time they meet, but that may not matter. Even bust Brady Hoke managed to get his team to play over its head against Ohio State the last couple of years, so expect more of that with Harbaugh in charge and the game in the Big House.
tOSU makes another appearance at # 5 and let's see what Pat has to say about this one:
5. Michigan State at Ohio State, Nov. 21. The two programs have alternated delivering haymakers to each other since Meyer came to Columbus in 2012. The Buckeyes won the first meeting 17-16. The Spartans won the next one, a shocking upset in the Big Ten title game that kept Ohio State out of the BCS championship game. And last year the Buckeyes went into Spartan Stadium as a four-point underdog and won, one of the biggest steps in a national championship season. If the 'dog is going to win for the fifth straight year in this series, Mark Dantonio will be a happy man.
You have to make your way out of the top ten to find tOSU's next appearance, here's #12:
12. Ohio State at Virginia Tech, Sept. 7. The Buckeyes’ one revenge game of 2015 was shaping up as a beatdown, but then star Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa and a couple of key receivers were suspended. This still should be an OSU victory, but the task has gotten tougher. On the road, Labor Day night – Ohio State has to show up ready.
Our last mention of The Buckeyes comes in at #22. Personally this is the one I'm most looking forward to, for obvious reasons. Here's Pat's take on it:
22. Penn State at Ohio State, Oct. 17. Between the opener at Virginia Tech and the closing tandem of Michigan State and Michigan, there isn’t much stress for the defending national champions. Except maybe this game. The Nittany Lions pushed the Buckeyes into double overtime last year, and James Franklin’s second team should be improved. Worth keeping an eye on.
