Most Likely Scenario (11-1)
Fiutak doesn’t really get into predicting what game Ohio State will lose this fall, but if we just take a look at what might be the most difficult, you have to circle Oregon coming to Columbus early in the year before the Buckeyes have a chance to set things with a new quarterback and some key replacements on defense.
Aside from that, the game against Penn State at home, at Indiana, and (don’t laugh) the trip to Ann Arbor to face Michigan stick out. Theoretically speaking, the Ohio State could have a less-than-stellar game and trip up in one of those. But who really knows? I mean did we really expect OSU to get taken behind the woodshed at Iowa in 2017, or bludgeoned by Purdue in West Lafayette in 2018?
It’s college football, and we are amazed, surprised, disheartened, and lifted up at times that we can’t always see coming. Still, it sure looks like it should be another fun ride as an Ohio State fan once again in 2021.
