Ohio State ALWAYS beats Michigan. It's in the Big 10 bylaws.

Ohio State will then go on to do a pratfall in the playoffs. Doesn't matter who they play, so don't get started on this year's Alabama team. Ohio State could play Appalachian State and find a way to fold, as long as it's on New Year's Day. They've done it in bowl games for years, and they'll keep doing it in the playoffs.

Michigan State, Wisconsin, Iowa and even Northwestern manage to go to big bowls from time to time. They may not win, but they'll show up and play. You'll see the same team you saw all season. Same for Penn State and Nebraska, whenever they get themselves straightened out. Minnesota, Purdue and even Indiana are lucky to go to minor bowls, but they'll at least show up and provide an interesting game. Ohio State and Michigan will choke nine times out of ten. I think they're so caught up in their own hype that they beat themselves.

In 2014 OSU beat Alabama and Oregon to win the National Championship. Are you talking about that pratfall?

You seem to forget that Ohio State beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl in 2015 - then went on to beat the Oregon Ducks to win the National Championship. Players come and go - so, that makes a difference. If you didn’t think today’s game was excising, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Urban is 4-2 in bowl games with OSU including a national championship. That is NOT choking 9 of ten times.
