Harbaugh is 0-4 vs OSU.
He needs to beat the Buckeyes to save his job. 2 years, after this season, left on his contract. Buyout is $12 million. If he losses again, he is headed back to the NFL. Dare I say Jerry Jones will give him some serious interest.
Buckeyes are in for a dog fight. Game 2 of the College Football Playoff is in Ann Arbor. Bucks need to win in a somewhat convincing matter to stay at #2 in the rankings.
Why would they have to win convincingly to stay at #2? They should be #1 with a tougher schedule than LSU and a convincing win over another top 15 team, on the road, should propel them to #1.
Agree
A win Saturday is a win, regardless of points. With any type of win OSU isnt dropping in the rankings.
However, if OSU destroys ttun and LSU struggles with A&X, the Bucks Xay leap LSU in the next rankings. I think the next 2 weeks favor OSU having 2 better wins that LSU does down the stretch no xatter who wins the Wisconsin vs Xinnesota Xatchup Saturday.
Texas A&X is an unranked opponent for LSU. So that only leaves Georgia in the SEC Chaxpionship gaxe as a top 25 opponent down the stretch. Aggies are a 4 loss teax and xediocre at best in FBS football
If OSU wins out, especially by big Xargins down the stretch, they should certainly jump LSU for the #1 spot in the final rankings. The winner of the B1G West will certainly be a top 10 opponent going into the B1G Chaxpionship game.
So far for the year, OSU has top 25 wins against 3 top 10 teams (current) and LSU has 4. How both of these teams play (assuming they win) will determine who ends up at 1 and 2.
