Week 14 Predictions – 2023

Last Week:  This week is never easy for Buckeye fans after a loss to Michigan.  The Wolverines did what they needed to do and deserved the win.  But Ohio State played a bit passive and it cost them in the end. Kyle McCord did not make the plays he needed to make and in the end the two turnovers proved to

Week 3: Playoff Rankings Well, the regular season is now behind us and it is time for the post season. I think I saw there will be about 8 bowl games on December 16th to kick off the bowls. But before that, we have two more playoff committee polls and a number of conference championship games to be played. But

Week 13 Predictions – 2023

Last Week:  There were no surprises or concerns in the Buckeye’s game against Minnesota. Although the first two quarters seemed a bit pedestrian, three touchdowns in the first 5 minutes of the second have sealed the deal on the 37-3 victory.  The win once again creates a showdown with Michigan for all the marbles.  For our weekly staff predictions, Vaughn, Cory

Buckeye50 Playoff Picks – November 21, 2023

Week 3: Playoff Rankings Three weeks in, two weeks to go.  What will the committee have to say now?  What will impact their thinking and will anything change their poll positions?  Georgia had a solid win against yet another SEC which was viewed as being a solid opponent, so maybe they will be able to hold on to the #1

Buckeye50 Playoff Picks – November 14, 2023

Week 3: Playoff Rankings There was a bit of status quo once again this week for the top teams. Eight out of the of the top eight teams won and quite frankly the only one with any real excitement or drama was the Michigan game and they brought it on themselves.  I will be so glad when all of this

Buckeye50 Playoff Picks – November 7

Week 2: Playoff Rankings If nothing else, we are consistent here at Buckeye50.  For the first two weeks of the 2023 Playoff Poll window, we have had the same top 6. But that should really come as no surprise as our top 6 all won this past weekend. It was interesting to see in the first committee poll last Tuesday

Week 8 Predictions – 2023

Last Week:  There was a lot of talk last week about how Ross-Aide has been a tough place for the Buckeyes to win.  This year’s team was having nothing of it, the only thing Purdue was beating was that large bass drum. OSU took care of  business, winning 41-7 and setting up for the big showdown with Penn State this coming

Week 4 Predictions – 2023

Last Week:  The Buckeyes did exactly what they needed to do against the Hilltoppers, too bad the pollsters were not paying enough attention.  Kyle McCord had a great showing in his first formal game as the QB starter as the 3-0 Buckeyes remained steady in the polls.  In our staff predictions, everyone is still all-together in the standings, either 8-1

Week 1 Predictions – 2023

Last Year:  I know that everyone Buckeye fan has replayed that Georgia loss in their head for the past eight months.  This weekend we can finally put that behind us and start fresh again. Hopefully the 2024 Bucks don’t play in games that come down to a last second field goal. This Week’s Games:  Not a lot of big match-ups this weekend. In
