I think it will be a physical, hard fought close contest. 3 points or less. Decided in fourth quarter. Could be low scoring, as both defenses are strong and playing very well. Ohio State's O can be explosive, yet also stagnant, so we'll see. Forecast for Saturday noon ET kick-off calls for low 40s, cloudy, wind doesn't look like a factor. Hope Ohio State's D can keep doing what they've done all year and score a touchdown or get a key turnover. It's going to be a good one.
As for the CFP, I will also be a Sparty fan this weekend and think they have a chance to beat Penn St. Whether Ohio State is in or out of the CFP if Penn St wins, Ohio State has to beat _ichigan. If Ohio State wins, I think they are in. They would stay at #2 next Tuesday. The rest plays out the following Saturday.
Did you notice there is not a single 13th letter of the alphabet in this post. :super:
