Some on the outside will just never understand.
There is no doubt the game against Penn State this weekend is a contest with some significant implications. The winner is likely the winner of the Big Ten East, and still alive in the College Football Playoff chase. So yeah, it’s big.
But don’t tell former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer that the game against the Nittany Lions is bigger than The Game the week after. No, no. Dave Revsine of the Big Ten Network made that mistake and was quickly corrected by Meyer.
When asked about the gravity of what the Ohio State vs. Penn State matchup has been over the last few years, Meyer stopped short of calling it a rivalry. There’s only one big rivalry in his eyes.
Watch as Revsine tries to point to the Penn State game as being more important on the schedule this year. Then watch Meyer correct him on two separate occasions.
"That's become a war."

Classic. Also note the usage of the word “we” Meyer still uses when discussing Ohio State. Once a Buckeye …
