Once upon a time it seemed Ohio State's playoff chances were extinguished.
Now, the Buckeyes have a puncher's chance of making the four-team field if they can handle the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday night in Indianapolis, claiming the B1G title in the process.
It won't be an easy task. Many doubt Wisconsin's resume – and that's fair – but too things suggest this one will be a dogfight, in my mind at least.
Most notably, Ohio State has concerns at quarterback after J.T. Barrett underwent minor knee surgery this week though Urban Meyer says he'll play.
