Ohio State Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Buckeyes miss from the Big Ten West Division?

It’s Ohio State so it’s not going to freak out about playing anyone, but having to play defending West champ Iowa and having to play Wisconsin isn’t a the best of breaks. However, both games are at home, and having to go on the road to face Northwestern shouldn’t be an issue.

In division play, they have to go to Michigan State and Penn State, but the date with Michigan is back in Columbus this time around.

Ohio State Football Schedule What To Know: Get rolling early and own home field

There can be a misfire on the road against Penn State or Michigan State and be okay as long as Ohio State dominates at home.

Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan – all four should be in the preseason top 25 – and maybe flirt with the top 15 – but again, they’re all home games. Starting out with five straight in Ohio Stadium should be just the warmup for the run of four road trips in six dates.

Ohio State Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

To keep hammering this home, it’s not all that bad as long as everything works out early and as long as any mistakes come on the road. As long as there’s a win over the Irish in the opener, the tone should be set the rest of the way.

It’s Ohio State, so it’s College Football Playoff or bust. For almost anyone else this slate would be a forget-about-it-killer. For this program, 11-1 is more than possible.

Missed Teams From The West: Illinois, Iowa, Northwestern, Wisconsin

Ohio State Buckeyes Football Schedule Analysis: If you’re going to miss four teams from the Big Ten West, you’re a little ticked that you’re not getting Illinois, but if you’re missing Wisconsin, Iowa and Northwestern, there’s no beef whatsoever.

The home game against Oregon will be what everyone focuses on, but it doesn’t really matter – the Buckeyes should be able to roll through the rest of the slate. The road dates at Minnesota, Nebraska and Indiana will hardly be layups, but if Ohio State is national championship good, those can’t be a problem. Put it this way – Alabama wins all three of those games in ugly fashion.

The Michigan game is in Ann Arbor, but that’s hardly matters to the Buckeyes.

Ohio State Buckeyes Football Schedule Best Case Scenario: Ohio State rips through the schedule without breathing too hard. It beats Oregon, destroys Indiana after getting a week off to rest, and is happy to get Penn State at home.

There’s a bit of a brain-cramp battle at some point – like at Nebraska or maybe on the wrong day at home against Penn State – but the 12-0 team rolls into yet another Big Ten Championship.

Ohio State Buckeyes Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: The Buckeyes drop the date with the Ducks to put the pressure on the rest of the way, and they misfire on one other game. They lose to Penn State, and worst of all, they finally get caught by Michigan to not only make it another year without a national championship, but it’ll be a year without a Big Ten title.

BREAKING: Michigan-Ohio State canceled, will Big Ten rules change?

With “the game” called off, what comes next?

[jwplayer QVGfvgek-er0jUifI]

After a week of speculation, the news that many had feared became official today: The Ohio State-Michigan game will be canceled. The news was originally reported by TheWolverine.com’s Chris Balas and confirmed by Michigan this morning.

The decision comes as Michigan has had rising COVID-19 positives throughout the past week, and were coming off of a canceled game against Maryland this past Saturday. As of today, the Wolverines have been cleared for limited, distanced workouts, but have not yet been cleared to practice as a team.

The implications from this cancelation depend on the Big Ten decision makers. Currently, a 5-0 Ohio State team would not be able to play in the Big Ten Championship game. The rule has been that teams need to play six games in order to be eligible. In addition, Big Ten teams have not been allowed to schedule outside the conference under any circumstances.

The Big Ten will have one overarching priority in all of this: making sure Ohio State has every chance available to get into the College Football Playoff. With unprecedented rules in an unprecedented year, nothing would be surprising. The Big Ten has nothing holding them back from changing the qualifications for the championship game, or in allowing Ohio State to schedule an opponent for this weekend. Now, we wait and see.

Report: Big Ten AD’s likely to change the rules so Ohio State can play in the conference title game

If the Buckeyes don’t reach six games, there is a good chance it won’t matter and they will still be playing in the conference championship

According to a report from Stadium’s Brett McMurphy, the Big Ten athletic director’s are likely going to change Big Ten title game requirements to ensure Ohio State can be in. Is anybody surprised?

The Buckeyes are about to improve to 5-0 as they currently lead Michigan State by 30+ late in the fourth quarter, but if next week’s rivalry game with Michigan cannot be played due to the Wolverines COVID-19 concerns, the Buckeyes would not qualify for the championship game due to not playing six games.

The initial league policy was that a team must play six of eight games in order to qualify for the championship game, unless the average number of games played across the league fell under six (which even if every game is cancelled next week it will not).

With Ohio State having the only legitimate chance to represent the conference in the College Football Playoff, and likely needing a Big Ten title game win to get there, the conference is on its way to making the obvious decision.

This also potentially effects Wisconsin, who will not get to six games played. If Northwestern loses next week and the Badgers win out, this rule change would likely allow UW into the Big Ten championship game as well. Although nothing is confirmed yet, the AD’s were always going to do everything possible to ensure the Buckeyes could represent the conference in the playoff.
