Ohio State Football: Predictions for Buckeyes’ last 4 games
By Alex Austin
Penn State – Fans will argue all day about whether Penn State is an Ohio State rival, but regardless of how you view the Nittany Lions, they have been a thorn in the side for the last few years. Back-to-back one-point victories for the Buckeyes will have both sides focused and razor sharp.
Penn State has played above expectations for most of the year, but even that does not put them on the same playing field as Ohio State. I think this will be the toughest test of the year for the Buckeyes before the playoffs.
This has the potential to be a top five matchup with CFP implications.
Many people will point to the next game on Ohio State’s schedule. They may claim the Buckeyes will be caught looking ahead, but I think the recent history between these two teams will cause too much anger for players to look beyond this game. Ohio State 41 – Penn State 24
Michigan – How many of you are sick and tired of hearing the, “Michigan will win because if not now, when” argument? I know I am. And I am sure the players are.
My question back is, “If it didn’t happen before, why in the world do you think it can happen now?”
Ohio State is the better team. Ryan Day is the better coach. Eight in a row is better than seven. Ohio State 38 – Michigan 14
I believe Ohio State will go undefeated the remainder of the regular season. I would even argue that a loss but a playoff berth would still be a disappointment. Ohio State MUST win the last four games for this season to be considered a success.
What’s your prediction? Do you think Ohio State slips up at all in the final four weeks, or do they run the table?
