It's Monday and the sky hasn't fallen yet.
Ohio State traveled more than 2,100 miles from Columbus to Eugene and lost a one-point game to then-No. 3, now No. 2 Oregon. Losses are never acceptable at a program with the championship standard the Buckeyes and their fans expect, but the fact remains if OSU wins out it will be Big Ten Champions with a bye in the first 12-team College Football Playoff.
Since Penn State and Indiana – the only two unbeaten teams left in the Big Ten outside the Ducks – are on Ohio State's schedule, all the Buckeyes' ambitions are within their control.
