With two games to go, the Buckeyes have a chance at a perfect regular season, something they haven’t done since the 2006 season. Ironically, that season ended with a loss at the hands of current Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, who coached the Florida team that beat the Buckeyes 41-14 in the 2007 BCS National Championship Game.
His first season as the coach at OSU has been nothing short of a great success. A 10-0 record speaks for itself, albeit against a very weak Big Ten this season.
2013 could be the Buckeyes’ year and they may very well start the season ranked No. 1 in the AP Preseason Poll next August.
The scary thing about this Ohio State team and the fact that they could be undefeated at season’s end is how young this group still is.
