All I did was post the opening line and a question. I know how good Ohio State is and how much they spent to be that good.
Perkins is following his typical pattern. Pre-season, Marshall is the bestest eveeeeeeer because it is Marshall. Then after CH's charges are manhandled by some mediocre P4 team or by a MACer, the line that we can "win the conference" (something CH has NEVER done) is trotted out, playing off the true, but irrelevant, point that non-conference games don't really count in that way. Now, in a bow to reality Perkins is accepting OSU will manhandle us.
Then comes WMU, which also should easily control that game, and we will still be in the "but we can win the conference, we are 0-0" mode. Then we will spend a brief time in the "well if Appy loses two games and we win out..." mode. Then we will move on to the "we can make a bowl" mode. Which might or might not happen, it doesn't really matter.
Then the reset button is pushed and it all starts over again. Except we move up in class from the second best B10 team to the best team from the best conference, Georgia, who should be favored by at least 50. But we can still win the conference....
As to your original post, lay the points and take the Buckeyes.
