I hate OSU and want them to lose as much as possible but I also hate that Indian has come from nowhere to become a national champion. I'd like their recent run to be seen as a one-off and see them return to mediocrity. We have enough problems with OSU, Michigan, Oregon, and USC.

FWIW I think OSU wins by double digits.

Just enjoy what should be a great game--something will likely happen during the game that makes me root for one over the other but I'm excited for some great football--hopefully they both deliver.

IU all day long. I came so close to betting them on the money line, but couldn't do it. Just not high enough odds.

Indiana hasn't been overly impressive the last couple weeks (Northwestern and Nebraska) so I bet on Ohio State--we'll see if I'm just overvaluing Ohio State or not.

Indiana looks like they are playing scared on both sides of the ball. QB overthrowing his receivers not by a little, but by a lot.

From what I've seen of OSU they are really missing Brian Hartline, under him they always had 2 or 3 really good WR's. Its just odd that with as great as Smith is that its not opening things up for some other WR's, TE's or Run Game.

Nice to see that OSU still gets home cooking from the refs. No. 6 for OSU literally mugged the recover with no flag called.....same old...same old........

Thus far they've been consistent with that--Indiana got away with one earlier as well
Only two penalties today--both on Ohio State and one was a huge holding call that took away a 15 (or so) yard run

Just watched a few minutes of that game and my only reaction is there is no one on our team except Tony Rojas and maybe a healthy Koby Howard who would ever see the field on either of those teams.

This game has everything- players preening after every play, sideline reporters talking to coaches during the game, commercials rolling every few plays- everything that has ruined college football.

Well, not everything maybe.

As a long suffering Jets fan that included a failed Lou Holtz college to pro try, I’m wondering if Cignetti would succeeded in the NFL?

Not sure how his personality would work with NFL players
Although I'm surprised it works with college kids so...can't argue the man can coach
