Ohio State vs. Hawaii advanced stats review: Disappointment after a 38-point shutout win?

I'll hedge and argue that it all depends on the Buckeyes' performances over the next few games.

It's hard to look at a shut out win and be dissatisfied, but that was definitely my first instinct. On the one hand:

  1. Hawaii was ranked 105th in the F/+ rankings going in to the game, even after upsetting Colorado.
  2. Ohio's State's S&P+ win probability was 99.7% with a projected margin of 47.1 points.
  3. The Buckeyes' opening line was OSU -38 (good job, bookies).
  1. Yes, there was a quick turnaround from a big win on Monday night.
