Conversely, Alabama has played two teams with a winning record.

This is the dumbest year for schedule talk. I understand that OSU didn't have a marquee OOC matchup, but not many top teams did. LSU over Texas is less impressive as the season goes on. Texas might be 7-5 at the end of the year. Georgia over an ND team that just got absolutely trashed by tsun? Nah.
Otherwise it's a bunch of conference foes beating each other up as usual, and there isn't a ton of separation between them. Even though the pollsters are intent on packing as many SEC teams as possible, the only impressive ones are LSU & Alabama. Georgia has the talent but still hasn't put it together.

after the 2 cupcakes OSU has a top 10 PSU, likely top 10 tsun, and top 10-15 B1G West Champ (Woody willing)
I am happy to talk SOS once the dust clears

Lol that's the thing, Wisconsin played about as well as they have all year. They even got a gift from God himself with it a steady rain for virtually 24 hours straight. OSU offense was shooting itself in the foot for the first 20 minutes. Receivers dropping balls left and right. Their d-line was causing confusion for the d-line...and they still got fucking handled. Only reason it wasn't a shut out is because A) a special teams gaffe and B) Coan completed a pass that literally looked like the ball traveled through a fucking wormhole straight into the receivers arms. I still don't know how that ball was completed.
In a dry dome with zero worry about weather? Might be 72-0 instead of 59-0.

re-watched it yesterday and if I'm not mistaken Wisconsin's first long field drive that moved past the 50 came with under 4 to go in the 3rd quarter and the game already out of hand.
Also, I'm not 100% sure that punt was blocked at all. I think one of the best punters in America just shanked the shit out of one and set up their only points of the day.

That was a topic of conversation for most of the 2nd half at my dad's house. We're still not sure.

Yeah, thinking that punt was a fluke as well. He’s one of the best and I know that killed him, so I feel for him. Team dusted it off and went back to work, so it’s all good. He drills it where it needs to be damn near every time, so Drue gets a pass on this one whatever the case was.

STOCK UP/DOWN: CHASE YOUNG'S HEISMAN TROPHY CAMPAIGN, J.K. DOBBINS, CHRIS OLAVE AS A NO. 1 RECEIVER
STOCK UP
J.K. DOBBINS
Dobbins called last year a failure in August, and he proved himself right in the first eight games. He's much, much more than the 1,000-yard back who averaged 4.6 yards per carry that he was in 2018.
This season, Dobbins has already eclipsed last year's total of 1,029 yards with 1,110 yards, and the production has come at an average of 7.2 yards per carry.
He's running with more power, more explosion and more speed than we've seen in the past, and that has put him in the conversation as arguably the top running back in the nation. Dobbins could even play his way to New York City as a Heisman Trophy finalist if he maintains this level of production.
CHASE YOUNG'S HEISMAN TROPHY CAMPAIGN
This is starting to feel real.
Nobody needs a refresher on just how difficult it is for a defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy. It's nearly impossible. And in order to position himself to even be a finalist, Young needs to continue his ridiculous reign of terror in backfields down the stretch. But after his four-sack game against Wisconsin, there might finally appear to be a path.
As our own Kevin Harrish pointed out in Monday morning's Skull Session, the national media has taken notice in a way it hadn't previously. On The Athletic's Heisman Trophy straw poll, Young jumped to second place, behind only LSU's Joe Burrow. What happens in Alabama holds Burrow in check in two weeks? Could Young leap him? It's possible.
In order to even have a chance to actually win the trophy, Young would likely need to reach 20 sacks and have the Buckeyes remain undefeated. But after what we've seen in the first eight games, who's going to doubt him or Ohio State?
One last note: Did anybody watch Nick Bosa's three sack, one-interception performance on Sunday and wonder what it would have been like had he and Young paired up for the entire 2018 season? I'll always wonder how that defense would have played if it had both Bosa and Young for a full season.
CHRIS OLAVE
Some performances go overlooked when a player has four sacks and someone else cracks open what had been the top-ranked defense in the country for 163 rushing yards. Olave's seven catch, 93-yard, two-touchdown game fits into that category.
With Austin Mack not playing due to an injury, Olave got the first start of his career and made the most of it. He caught more than half of Justin Fields' 12 passes, more than half of Fields' 167 passing yards and both of Fields' passing touchdowns. He looked like a No. 1 receiver.
Because of Mack's seniority and the way Brian Hartline has rotated his receivers, Olave will likely again come off the bench in two weeks when Ohio State returns to action. Regardless ow whether he starts or not, Olave deserves to play starter-level snaps going forward this season.
DAMON ARNETTE
Jeff Okudah is the future top-10 draft pick. Shaun Wade earned loads of NFL draft helium the past few weeks.
But don't overlook an improved version of Arnette on the outside this year.
When the Buckeyes subbed out a cornerback to open the game with Justin Hilliard as a fourth linebacker in a 4-4-3 defense, they took Wade – a possible first-round cornerback – and stuck with Arnette and Okudah on the outside. Why? Because Arnette has become an eminently trustworthy cornerback despite playing with a cast on his on his right hand for the entire season.
The past two years, Arnette had his struggles. But eight games into this season, he has rarely been beat in coverage and showed with a team-high seven tackles against Wisconsin that he can be impactful against the run, too.

Just wanted to say how much I love the B1G game in 60. That feature is perfect the way you get to see every play and little fluff. I watch that every week at least once (except Purdue last year and Iowa 2 years ago-for some reason those weren’t available, go figure).
