I think it is at the point OSU will have to drop in the national ranking with only 4 wins at this point while other teams have 7-8-9 wins in the bank after this week.
Actually playing and winning games has to count for something.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
I really think Ohio State would have lost to Illinois, being a road big 10 game and the awful way the Buckeyes have played the last 2 games, specifically the 2nd halves.
If I remember right, they got outscored in the 2nd halves by their last 2 opponents. Indiana, and ? I forget who they played the week before.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.
You say you know Football ??? Sorry you DON'T there is no way Illinois would beat Ohio State

Of Course you do getting rid of OSU is one less obstacle for the SEC and Clemson
John 3:16 Jesus said "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
It really isn't my desire. It's simply a matter of what is right.
How is that right? If OSU Plays it out and wins that would make them 7-0 and eligible for the playoffs but I know its all about the SEC and Clemson, and I will not be surprised to see 3 SEC teams and Clemson in the Playoffs once they figure out how to dispose of ND, its all media run and a joke ...

And your telling me Saban has tested positive yet none of his players have? Something stinks in the state of Denmark ...

I'm going to assume PastorMarc, you meant this post for me, (maybe balpeen, but Vers. hasn't been in this thread)
So I did 2 things, (I tried to look at the all time series between Ill and OSU and got the winnipedia but it was, not quite what I was looking for.
2nd I tried to look back where I said " I know football", and, I didn't but if I read some of my posts, ... I get it, how they read seems like I was being an obnoxious know it all, but!
The all time series showed me one thing, (I was wrong about when I said history, 1990-2002, .. I was probably remembering because, Illinois, longest win streak vs OSU is at 5, 1988-2002,
And winnipedia said also, they played every year for 56 years, back around that time.
The Buckeyes don't play Illinois every year anymore. The Buckeyes may not rememeber how Ill, is never going to let them win because they show up and wear scarlet and gray, (I mean they make them earn it!)
I don't know anything about ill's team this year, nothing!, and I know there were some past years where ill couldn't stop a div 2 school with a flu outbreak, but that's not what my focus is on.
If you want to say all I've said is bull, and I'm full of, then fine.
But there is a point you should agree with.
(That all those years I hated on Florida state, and Florida, and Miami(fl), and then Notre Dame, or Clemson, or USC, or Alabama, or others, for getting a top 5 ranking on name recognition and roster make up alone,
That Ohio State doesn't look much different than that this year, ...( and Man!! if you got 3 Wr's like that, Fields! you've got to find them!)
Don't listen to me! Time and future games has a way of proving these things out!
edit: I want to add this, Your post should read, There is no way Ill would beat Ohio state... for the 28th time, all time.

You've just spent way too much time talking about a game that is never going to be played.
so.... if you're michigan do you get a bunch of 'covid positives' the week against OSU? Great way to play spoiler... OSU wouldn't be eligible for Big Ten championship game and probably playoffs if they don't play their final two games.
The announcers in all the games I've watched today seem so giddy that there's a chance OSU will not make the playoffs if they don't qualify for the B1G championship game. In this LSU game especially. It's like they're trying to sway public opinion by politicking for them not to make it.

First, I don't think 3 SEC teams would every be in the final 4.
This year, maybe 2, but only if Florida and Bama win out, then Florida beats Bama in the championship game.
If OSU wins out, sure they probably get in. My comment was directed at the here and now. I don't see how they maintain a hold on a top 4 spot with 4 wins while other teams have 7-8 wins. Strength of schedule isn't going to give OSU any bonus points.

I think TAMU has an outside shot too... if UF wins out but gets beat in the SEC championship game then TAMU has a good argument depending on who else wins out...
if OSU has to cancel another game their season is done... if they win out they'll be in...
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
I haven't paid much attention to college football this year. But I live in Columbus so, Ohio State football is kind of publicized. Way I figure it, The Big 10... went 60% of the way to not being a part of a 4 team playoff when they decided back in August? not to play ball, the same weeks all the other teams did.
There was a time, they weren't even going to have a season at all.
Another way I figure it. Ohio State, needs to be 7-0 (maybe 6-1), to have played 7 games, by the time the "extra / big 10 champ week" game is done before any bowl games are announced, to really have a case, a strong case, that they deserve consideration for the final 4 CFP.
Another way I figure it, if there came a case where, Ohio State got in the 2 game Natl championship and Won it,
but somehow they won it like if, Clemson's Qb went out with a broken hip early in the game, and something else similar in the other game, so (2 games) with devastating circumstances to their opponent,
Then! you'd have a natl champion, who, Didn't play outside of their conference, not 1 OOC game in the regular season,
and , Two devastating circumstances to both teams they beat in the College Football Playoff,
and, only played less 6 or less regular season and big10 champ week games SO ONLY 8 games ALL YEAR!
And then, there would be, mutitudes of Colleges and Universities, saying, Aw come on , this ain't no (worst word) national champion??? (those teams played 8,9, 10, or 11, games.)
Can u imagine, just imagine you are the buckeyes, and you DID do that, you'd have an illigitmate Natl title, forever on your history.
I think it's dumb, either just admit, you either get 7 games in, or you go play in the flipin Rose Bowl like you did in all the years of the 1988-1995,
I mean the 1997 Buckeyes, who beat Jake Plummer in the Rose bowl have a better case for a National title, than a team this year would if they play 5 games... I'm done, call me the bad guy, homer glasses, Common sense Man! The Big 10 (blanked) themselves!
I hadn't even mentioned, They played 3 teams so far not named Rutgers! and two of them, PSU + Nebr. started out almost winless. edit: to clarify, 7 games in the threshold 7 games, I'd support the argument "for" all the way 6 games, I'd support the argument "against" all the way.
No National Title would be Illegitimate whether it was the Buckeyes now or BAMA Who won 1 without being conference Champion ...

Come on center. Pick it up. Fields been bailing you out so far this drive.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
omg fields just dropped an absolute dime to Olave.
Trevor lawrence is definitely the #1 pick....but i don't know if the gap between him and fields is as wide as some sports analyst make it seem.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
