Well, Doug Lesmerises has his prediction for the Buckeyes in the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

That's why I think Ohio State will lose multiple conference games for the first time since 2004. But that still won't keep the Buckeyes from grabbing a share of their fifth straight Big Ten title. That would tie Michigan's five-year run from 1988 to 1992 and trail only the six straight titles the Buckeyes claimed from 1972 to 1977.

The prediction: losses to USC, Illinois and at Penn State on Nov. 7, leaving the Buckeyes at 9-3 and in a four-way tie for first at 6-2 in the conference with the Nittany Lions, Illini and Michigan State. It would be the first four-way tie in the Big Ten since Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois and Iowa all went 6-2 in 1990.

Ouch....9-3 and two conference losses? Not only does he have it all figured out, he even has the Bowl Matchups nailed down. Guess he gets paid to stick his neck out.

I'm not a prognosticator though, so I'll just chuckle a bit and let it unfold on the field..game by game... and see where the journey takes us.
