It happens every year. Teams such as [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag], who are major favorites, overlook an opponent for the week and either lose or barely escape with a win.
Last year for the Buckeyes it was Maryland, a nail-bitter that went two quarters too long as Ohio State might have been looking ahead to the regular-season finale at home against Michigan.
It’s not just Ohio State having these issues either. The Wolverines had trouble with Illinois ahead of The Game, and Georgia was very average against Georgia Tech ahead of the SEC title game.
