Current line is OSU -8 and O/U 46.

I'm hoping the game is closer than the line...but if I was betting this one I would say give me OSU -8 and the Under. OSU looks like a buzzsaw since Mich upset them. They beat Tenn by 25, Oregon by 20, and UT by 14.

Just hope it's an entertaining game.

Really hoping Notre Dame wins, but it will be a tough thing to pull off. They're pretty banged up, and I don't think the have the offense to consistently move the ball and keep the defense off the field.

If Notre Dame is 2+ on the turnover margin, wins time of possession, and can consistently run the ball, they have a shot.

I don't think that Riley Leonard can win the game for them with his arm.

I love the 15 Saturdays in the Fall from September to November full of college football from East Coast to Hawaii.

Congrats to these teams but I'm not gonna watch.

I would generally agree with your keys, but Leonard made some big throws in the second half of the Penn State game. If he can hit a few big ones and avoid game-changing mistakes, I think Notre Dame's defense will keep the Irish in the game.

I've got a futures bet I placed on the Irish before the playoffs started....so I'll be pulling for them for the upset

That may or may not be a bad thing. I saw some online predictions that the Alvarez crew from the Big12 might work it (he was the one who made such a mess of the BU-TCU game).

Pulling for Notre Dame because they aren't in a conference, which is perfect for the farce this fake playoff is, and the coach seems pretty cool.

Maybe Jerry Jones will give him a call after the game.

I probably jinxed all of that anyway, Congrats, Buckeyes.

Couldn't agree more. I watch college football way more than NFL but it's certainly an afterthought at this point in the year

That was a perfect first drive for Notre Dame. They just imposed their will for 10 straight minutes. That's quite a tone-setter.

Wow. 10 minute opening drive, ND goes down the field.

18 plays, 75 yards. Touchdown Irish.

7-0.

That was too easy for Ohio State. If Notre Dame can't have more success against the run, this is going to be a long game for their defense.

We'll see if the offense can put together another strong drive. They need to now.

Early observation....NDs offense looked better than I expected and their defense looked worse.

The ND man isn't up to covering the Ohio State receivers.

They haven't run much man. They've been running a lot more zone than they normally do.

But Ohio State's athleticism is definitely causing them trouble in the early going.

Yeah. Except for that opening drive this has gone about how I thought it would.

ND really needs an answer here or it's about to be 21-7

If they can get to halftime down one score or less, I think they'll make it a game in the second half.

That staff makes really good adjustments, as we saw in the Penn State game. But they've got to keep it close enough at the half for that to be even be a factor, and they're in a danger zone here.

If they don't score here, they need to at least get a couple of first downs and chew up some clock.

That was a disaster.

Notre Dame is in big trouble now. If they don't make a stop here, this one is going to get away from them.

Great play by Howard hanging in the pocket to get that throw off

They needed to get off the field there on third down. That was a good stunt, just a great play by Will Howard.

As has been the case in every playoff game so far, Ohio State's speed advantage is a difference-maker. This Buckeyes team is just really, really talented.
