I think what we're seeing with the Buckeyes is we finally have a coaching staff that is coaching to the strength of top flight players,vs the players being restricted by the system. OSU has found that by letting the players have more freedom on the field they are much more productive.
Their strength of schedule will give them an edge in the final games of the season and eventually in the CFP, assuming they don't hit a bump in the road. As good as Penn State is,they cannot match the Buckeyes fire power.
As for TTUN, their coaches are doing a lot of chirping about how they can't wait to play OSU. That's all good,but it will be a different tune once they have to line up against the Buckeyes because they don't have the talent level to beat them.

Totally agree. Ryan Day = Dabo Swinney. Very similar philosophies.
