I'm not sure about that. Last year OSU had an incredibly talented and uninspired team. A ton of guys left and I'm not convinced that they will have the winning edge this year. I think we will see a talented but inconsistent team in 2016 at OSU
1) TJ Barrett is better than any QB on the UoM roster.
2) Urban Meyer is a better coach than JH
3) ipso quod whatever
There is no doubt that they should do well and Urban will do everything to build a great team but everyone has an off year and I think it possible for a malaise to fall upon a team. They coasted last year IMO. With all those guys drafted, why were they not National Champs two times in a row? Bad habits are hard to break and I'm hoping that OSU hasn't gotten over it's entitlement syndrome.
This is something I've noticed too and remember seeing during the very end of Urban's tenure at Florida. The guy is an elite recruiter and has a great football mind, but I wonder if his approach allows the players get a little too lax at times. He's never been anywhere longer than 6 years and that last year with the Gators was by far his weakest (I know there were a lot of non football issues).
It's hard to imagine him going anywhere anytime soon (he's born & bred Ohioan), but I wonder if he's got a bit of that Bill Parcells thing in him.

For those reasons I could see OSU losing two, even potentially three games.

West:
1. Iowa
2. Northwestern
3. Nebraska
(sorry, I would put NU up top, but Iowa has a huge advantage: of the big 3 in the East, they only play Michigan, and get them at home...NU must play Mich St and Ohio St, both away; that's too big an Iowa advantage to overcome, probably)
East:
1. Ohio St

No one goes undefeated this year. Iowa carries west. Mich wins east despite loss to OSU. Mich beats Iowa twice and heads to playoffs. We have a good year but just came short.
