Ohio State vs. Indiana Preview, Prediction & Bets | 2024

[@hummushero9428]

Penn State on the road isn’t a Quality win? The SOS argument applies to Indiana and some other B1G teams, but not Ohio State they currently have the 9th SOS nationally right up there with Bama, Texas, A&M, Tennessee, Etc…. I think Crain forgot they also played Penn State or something.

[@greenman5255]

All of this is mute, because our Buckeyes are going to beat Indiana, TTUN and Oregon for the B1G C and finish #1 in the USA after winning the Natty...GO BUCKEYES!!!!

[@DeshCanter]

@@greenman5255 I think you meant “moot,” though “mute” may be a better descriptor of Buckeye football late in seasons. You’re a bit late with your National Championship predictions; that’s a time-honored tradition for the Buckeye fanbase in the offseason, where they’re #1 all-time in National titles. The interesting thing vis a vis Indiana @ Ohio State will be if Jim Knowles pulls his now standard arrogant disrespect of opponents’ passing games by opening in and staying in man coverage regardless of whether it’s effective. The Indiana defense will likely have its hands full with the Ohio State offense, but the Ohio State defense may join them in frustration against a very good Hoosier offense. One thing is for sure. If it comes down to coaching, Ohio State is going down. Soft, finesse, risk averse Ryan Day has done less with more talent than any other coach of a Top 10 program over his tenure. Cignetti, on the other hand, has a bunch of James Madison transfers playing at a high level in a power 5 conference. There’s no excuse for Ohio State to lose, and that puts all the pressure on Ryan Day to perform; he has rarely done so against peer programs. Go Hoosiers!!!

[@terriswilson4811]

Indiana, is good but the Buckeyes, will win!

[@stevelenores5637]

Half of the comments were "if Ohio State loses....". This reminds me of "if a frog had wings...". Must be SEC secaphants hoping for 5 SEC teams. Don't go broke hoping to outthink Vegas. Buckeyes by 2 scores comfortably.

[@zplapplap]

@@stevelenores5637 Frogs grew wings before Indiana arrived at this game 10-0. Frogs were spotted over Nashville and South Bend. Upsets happen.

[@donaldshotts4429]

What are you reading? All I see is OS by whatever they want. Does 11-1 Indiana deserve to get in, etc. Line was 10.5 and I got IU +13 yesterday Nice try to look for disrespect though

[@stevelenores5637]

@@zplapplap If Bambi faces Godzilla and beats Godzilla that isn't an unset, it's a miracle. Just because Bambi went 10-0 against dandelions and daffodils doesn't mean a thing. Indiana only needs to show they are competitive to make CFB playoffs. Bambi only needs to survive by running the other way. If Indiana gets blown out or if Bambi gets step on, there will be no moral victories. Indiana's strategy should be to slow the game down to keep it to a 2 score loss. I want Indiana to make playoffs but taking unnecessary risks is a foolish move.

[@zplapplap]

@@stevelenores5637 Indiana’s conference revealed the outer limits of what can happen in an expanded conference without divisions. It’s truly remarkable how one team can play the bottom half of a conference for virtually all of its season. Despite this outlier of a schedule, I don’t accept a 10-0 team in the B1G being characterized as Bambi. Nor do I necessarily accept Godzilla as characterizing this 2024 Day/Howard led Ohio State Buckeyes. Historically, it is apt. But, it’s a fanciful characterization of a late season conference game between teams with a total of one loss between them in week 13. I’m rooting for an Indiana upset. Absent a Hail Mary, an upset will not be indicia of a miracle.

[@porcine83]

An Ohio State University. Don't worry bucknuts, I'm sure the B1G has briefed the refs on how *cough* important it is for O$U to win this game. You got nothing to worry about.

[@personperson1179]

Indiana wins big lets go Hoosiers ⚪️🔴

[@OSU23]

Or loses big?

[@taxisquad11]

SO you would bet a $1000 that Indiana wins by 3 TDS?? They only beat a bad Michigan by 5 IN Bloomington! Only a DUNCE would bet that Indiana "wins big" in the Shoe

[@LeeSilver-u7g]

It's hard to believe Indiana can win this game, but is it really any more unbelievable than the Hoosiers being 10-0? I believe IU will not be phased going on the road (so far so good), and the possibility of the Hoosiers winning this game is much greater than them starting 10-0. For Indiana to win, IU must score early and stay competitive throughout the first half to boost confidence and take the crowd out of the game.

[@marcthefooddude34]

I agree, IU must score early. Can’t let tOSU get out to a two score lead.

[@scottwhittaker1681]

OSU doesn't start games well. Hoosiers are focused and all the pressure is on the buckeyes.

[@marcthefooddude34]

Not an IU fan, but Indiana does not control their BIG 10 schedule. They have been dominant outside of UM game, but still scratched out a W.

[@rando6389]

The guy on the left is faking it. He hasn’t really watched Ohio State the last 3 games. Lemme make it easier for ya. Go watch the last drive of the Penn State and come back and tell us how OSU’s OL is a “weak point.”

[@indianacreekwalker4474]

SOS is not the measure of a team. If it was, a team could win every game, with a 100 ranked schedule 99-0 and it would mean nothing. Strength of Schedule Results are meaningful. And in that metric Indiana is ranked 6th.

[@peterfaulkner4724]

Indiana ranked #2 this Sunday, you heard it here first!

[@taxisquad11]

DUH!!! If they blow out Ohio State that's easy. BUT, remember, Ohio State lost by 1 on the road at Oregon after a 4 hour plane fight and beat Penn State in Happy Valley in front of 111,000 fans the biggest crowd in Penn State history. Indiana didn't play either of those teams. Ohio State is the only school in the Big Ten that had to play Oregon, Penn State and Indiana, all top 3 teams. when they played them. No other team in the country has a schedule like that

[@edwardshields2777]

Please review these team’s schedules again and tell me how you have James Madison at 3. Indiana SOS is around 103.

[@Dusk-1c]

I'm thinking Indiana's magic number is 3. If they don't turnover the ball 3 times or punt 3 times I think they have a better chance at winning this game. If my Buckeyes can keep them under 21 by halftime then OSU is probably gonna win.

Funny how they keep takin trash about the Buckeyez oline but they lost a 5star LT to injury and are still Joe Moore award finalists.

[@buckeye4lifepodcast]

I’m baffled how this man just sat here and blindly said the Olin hasn’t been good all year like what? They were on pace for the joe Moore award before Josh Simmons injury. Completely reshuffled their offensive line in a span of three weeks and played lights out against a top three front seven Penn State defense. Absolute nonsense. How do you just completely dismiss that piss off offensive line with Donovan Jackson at tackle has been outstanding and they are peaking at the right time.

[@wyattlada2736]

@@buckeye4lifepodcast right!!! Not even mentioning the injury to our 2nd string LT the fact the OL is paying this great is a testament to how tough they are

[@nicholasbrowning4558]

IU win or lose will have little effect on Penn st.

[@boostinman7132]

Look, i'm predicting that Ohio State is going to win by at least 14. I know the spread is -12.5, but i can't see Indiana winning. They're schedule similar to Texas' schedule. They played the bottom of the barrel of the BIG 10 all year. Yes, they've been winning by large margins against those teams, which means they are pretty good. But that schedule is going to hurt them in this game. And they're playing in Columbus. Nothing about that screams upset to me. This is going to ultimately get boring to anyone who doesn't have a dog in the race. I think the halftime score will be something like 14-7 OSU, and then in the second half OSU is going to come out and put another 14-17 pts on the board, and Indiana will only come out and put another 7-10 in the second half, and that'll be it. I do however think that Indiana will score first, probably on their opening drive to try to quell the noise, but as soon as OSU scores, the noise comes back up, and it's too much for Indiana to handle.

[@travissullivan6575]

Oregon, tOSU, +1, +2 if more chaos happens in the SEC. ND if they stay the course. ACC champ and B12 champ, only one from each. Boisie likley. SEC champ + 3, 4 if IU wins (though Penn St will likely be left out if that happens) or if IU loses close (This is the best for the BIG)

[@terrancepemberton4648]

As a Vols fan seeing Penn St fall out of the playoffs sounds nice lol. So I need to be rooting for Indiana then I suppose lol. Not like it's gonna matter. The game should be very interesting tho
