Last Week: 15,893,000 fans watched Michgan defeat the Buckeyes, the largest audience ever for a Fox sports broadcast. Certainly a big win for the Michigan program but it may have been an even bigger wake-up call for the Buckeye program, particularly their defensive. It appears that not all the questions created after the Oregon game have been answered, and for

Last Week: OSU secured a signature win over then #7 Michigan State, turning ‘THE’ Game into the game this season. CJ Stroud also put himself into the Heisman race which is very winnable for him if he has two more great performances to finish the year. As for our Buckeye 50 seasonal standings, Joe-S-U has put himself on top of

Last Week: Ohio State took care of business and dominated a ranked Purdue squad 59-31, a team that had already taken down two top 5 teams. The victory continues to impress the playoff committee, but not yet enough to move them above an Oregon team that beat the Buckeyes on the field. Maybe that will change this week as both

Last Week: The Buckeyes earned a well deserved victory over Nebraska. Ohio State’s 28-17 victory has been used as fodder that the Buckeyes are not dominating teams and yet they keep winning and still have the best loss (Oregon) among the top 8 teams in the current playoff polls. Forget that Alabama is scheduling Mercer and New Mexico State, let’s

Last Week: The Buckeyes continued to roll with their very convincing 54-7 win over Indiana. The Hoosiers are now 2-6 since they were bragging they were the best team in the East. How you feeling about that statement now Coach Allen? Plenty to brag about with our weekly staff predictions though. Once again 6 members were 4-1 for the week

Last Week: The Bucks take the week off and move up one more spot in the polls. But the real poll comes out in another week and a half, so that will tell the tale we all want to see. For our Buckeye 50 predictions, we had 5 people go 4-1 (jelly Chris – the Bear?) and when the dust

Last Week: The Buckeyes continued to show signs of improvement in the 66-17 win over Maryland. This puts them at 3-0 in the conference and the AP has moved them to 6th in the polls. More importantly, they are certainly showing signs of playing like the team fans expected them to be in 2021. Keep winning and all their goals

Last Week: OSU has been into the pits a few times this year and the Buckeyemobile is now almost working perfectly. The Buckeyes handled Rutgers 52-13 but they still have a few tune-ups to make them unbeatable. Fortunately it does appear the car is back on the road to the playoffs. For our Buckeye50 staff picks, Joe, Steven, Cory and

Last Week: Ohio State feasted on MAC raw meat and defeated Akron 59-7. Is the Buckeye defense improving or was it the level of competition that made the difference? For one week it doesn’t really matter but reality is every game left on the Buckeye schedule will be a bigger challenge than the Zips. After 4 weeks, Josh continues to
