I can’t imagine why someone thought this should be a prime time game this week. The series history here is dominated by the Buckeyes and most of the time the games are not even close. In fact only once in their current streak of seven wins over the Gophers have the Buckeyes let them come as close as ten points. Ohio State is lying in the weeds in the conference and BCS scenario. If they can win out they will haven beaten some name teams even though they might not be as good as originally considered. Either way they are going to stomp on the Gophers similar to the way they bombed Purdue last week. I hope everyone has a cable package that will allow you to choose another game if this is the one selected for your region.
