    Might as well not even play the game then

    Fuck Harbaugh. He’s a fucking asshole who can go fuck himself. Same with David Long, who, coincidentally, would be CB4 if he chose UW. Assholes.

    We beat Michigan by two scores. Against OSU it's even, but the joy of maybe retiring Urban Meyer would be a definite highlight.

    Bucks beat Northwestern get into CFP sat 4. I think Michigan gets Nod over Northwestern?

    For sure.

    -We play Ohio State if they win the Big 10 and don't get in the CFP
    -We play Michigan if OSU wins the Big 10 and gets in the CFP
    -We play Northwestern if they win the Big 10

    I want a bowl win so will be rooting for our purple brethren for the huge upset. Plus if that happens it'll probably knock the Cougs out of the NY6.
    I'm not sure they would put tOSU in the Rose Bowl Even if they win saturday and aren't put in the CFP.

    I have a hard time seeing a 5th ranked tOSU paired with a 3 loss pac-12 champion as an ideal matchup. Georgia-tOSU in the Peach Bowl or something would be more interesting with UW Michigan in the Rose

    I think the Rose Bowl automatically gets the B1G champion unless that team is in the playoff.

    Since we're 3-1 against Michigan, and I skeered of Urban, I'll go Michigan.

    I think they may have some degree of latitude but yeah you seem to be right.
    I don't think tOSU is a good matchup for us

    If the goal is to raise the program's national profile, I'd like a piece of tOSU over Michigan. More Prestige at the moment.

    If the goal is to get a W no matter what, bring on the Wildcats!

    Who do you want and why? I live in Big 10 country and I can tell you neither team/fan base from the U of M nor the Bucks think much of the UW.
    OSU
    D
    OSU’s D-line. Bucks will be better than anyone UW will have faced this year. + OSU
    OSU’s LB’s: Bucks Line backers wouldn’t start for UW. ( Buck fans wont admit that but thier LB’s are not good)they are very young. BBK starts for the Buckeyes + UW
    OSU’s Secondary: If we are honest about UW history UW does not historically have great cb’s. Safeties yes but DB’s? First and 3rd Round draft grades blah blah for the everyone that plays in the nickel for the huskies? Lol.. ( Lake: I only take four DB’s a year so you’ll play NFL ) I’ll believe it when I see it. Buckeyes D.B’s are as physically gifted and faster... younger but better athletes. I call it even vs a pretty average group of UW receivers. UW=OSU

    Offense
    OSU’s O-Line... UW will get no pressure Bucks o-line and will be the best UW has faced. VS the light in the pants soft as a milkshake “whack 12” d line. Bucks will find their run game against a decent UW line. The UW nose tackle is a good player but can’t do it alone. UW edge is slow and undersized. OSU dominance by the line Set’s up the RPO and off tackle all night +! OSU
    OSU’s RB
    UW has an advantage gaskin is very good vs the Bucks. Again bucks have amazing talent at the position but very very young. +UW
    OSU QB
    Heisman candidate vs 6 ft nothing, 200 and nothing pound noodle arm, ++! OSU
    OSU WR
    Next to qb this is the biggest difference between the two squads. UW has absolutely no deep threat and Jake couldn’t get him the ball even if the UW had one. OSU has speed speed and more speed with size at the position. No Contest OSU ++!
    UW’s O-line
    Solid!! The key for the UW will be ...can the o-line get the huskies running backs to past the d-line and into the line backers of the buckeys. They do that ? They will take the heat of of “ short school bus” Browning.

    The biggest advantage the huskies have is the Buckeyes are totally skitzoid. If they are pissed about missing the CFP and having to play some joke program ( yes that’s what they think of us) they will mail it in and the UW does just fine. Michigan? We are a much better match up with those guys on a normal game. However, they are beyond pissed off and looking for a fight. Michigan was embarrassed by historic margins on one of if not the largest stage in college football. I want no part of that. Give me an overconfident really would like to be some where else young Buckeye team. But they will hang 50 on UW and I don’t think “ Short School Bus Browning “ arm can even throw that many times. ( honestly I don’t think he physically can)
    Your thoughts ?

    So Northwestern, who beats TOSU in big10champ isnt in your cute little equation?
