The. Game. Is. Almost. Here.
Yes, the defense has been a dumpster fire. Yes, there have been far too many underwhelming performances and yes, the College Football Playoff committee doesn't think much of this year's squad.
But Ohio State still sits at 10-1 with a chance to win the Big Ten East if it can pull off the mild upset against No. 4 ranked Michigan.
And keep in mind, no matter how worried you might about Ohio State's flaws, the best team on paper doesn't always win The Game. As I child of the John Cooper era, I know this far too well.
