Potential Upset

I said it was hard to find an upset game like Iowa last year because the schedule was favorable.

I decided to go with Purdue because it was an away game and no one on Ohio State had played against the Boilermakers. I thought the look and feel would be different and cause some issues.

I was right, and for the second-straight season a head scratching blowout loss prevented the Buckeyes from making it back to the College Football Playoff Invitational.

Now my prediction for the game of the year and Ohio State’s final record.
