Saying it again (from great source)..OHst will play FB come November.

Heard it directly from well informed ex-Buckie player close to the administration & athletic dept.
Was eating seafood next to to him & wife last Thursday at Hudson’s Seafood in Hilton Head out on deck and when he mentioned they were visiting from Columbus..
I told him I was a Tiger & my little Whaler Jet Boat slipped below us had a PAW Flag on its bow..
We took off talking football and b/4 I left he slung the playing in November thing on me since it had leaked out that very day to him.
Funny, he asked me when I left to run my boat towards him on dock with flag flying in breeze so he could video it & send back to Buckeye friends.
PS: Read 3 days later (today on SUN Aug 30 that their QB Justin Fields was at a UGa football practice, watching!

I think that may be wishful thinking on his part. Even if they are willing to play, who will they play? They certainly won’t get a pass into CFP without playing a season for simply being THE Ohio State.. I suppose they could have some meaningless scrimmages?

I think it is just a ploy to calm the disgruntled masses. And if they do to what end? Too late for CFP. Saw a football parent interview saying they signed LOI committing to the big10 not Oh St. I dont think it is true but also I think it is a damning that will be used against them. I suspect if they dont do something though some of their recruits will go elsewhere

I am much more concerned with the Tigers playing in November than I am the buckeyes playing anytime. We need to concentrate on the Clemson Tigers and their health and well being not some wannabes up north! Go Tigers

I wonder if they are trying to take a shortcut to the CFP. Play 3-4 games before the CFP and lobby to delay the playoffs. "How can you have a playoff and leave out a top ranked team."

There's no point in it. They won't be in the CFP starting that late.

Logic and common sense would agree with you but remember the CFP committee is made up of 13 members, 7 of which are ADs, and 4 of those from schools playing in the fall. Hancock has already said its too early to say how they will handle the schools not starring in the fall. CFP is just like everything else these days. It will come down to some contentious decision that tries to placate everyone in the end.

Against who? It seems they would need most of their conference to tag along.

Who are they planning to play in November?

Or do they feel they can skip ahead to the playoffs because, well you know, The Ohio State. The mere mention of that juggernaut strikes fear in school girls all around Japan.

dinner at Menton while my crew tidied up a little sailboat I just got at a great deal. (It's a used Oyster 885, but the seller agreed to deliver from Barcelona). I was not in the best of moods, as young Hamilton was being unusually picky over his plate of Seared Foie Gras. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to hear a familiar voice from a couple of tables over... none other than my old friend Kristina Johnson. She is literally only a week into her new job as President of OSU, and wasn't as chatty as usual, but when I inquired about Buckeye football this season... well, let's just say I could tell by the twinkle in her eye.
I've said too much. I should probably just delete this post.

...in New Mexico having dinner with Sean Carroll, Kip Thorne and Lawrence Krauss out on the deck underneath one of the big radio telescopes when I looked over and saw Chase Young staring at my Corvette with had a large Tiger Paw emblazoned on the hood. Bored with talk of theoretical particle physics, I went over and introduced myself (he already knew who I was) and that's when Young said that not only did OSU really beat Clemson last time they played, but that the Big 10 would play football this year...
