For the first time in years, the rest of the Big Ten has a chance.
Or maybe not. Ohio State could absolutely still run the table and prove that they are the national powerhouse that they’ve been for years and years. They could put one bad week aside and move on, rolling through their conference opponents as they always do. But the Oregon Ducks, in their week two victory over the Buckeyes, gave the rest of the Big Ten something they haven’t realistically had in recent years.
Hope.
If Oregon’s upset says anything, it’s that OSU might not be able to roll over all of its opponents in the regular without second thought.
