Can Ohio State do the unthinkable and beat Alabama? The answer is yes. Will they do it? Well, that’s a totally different question.

The Buckeyes looked unstoppable against Clemson. They looked like the best team in America against Dabo Swinney’s squad.

Yet, it’s a new day, and Alabama hasn’t been touched all season.

Even though I’m a Big 10 man, I don’t see OSU winning this game unless Justin Fields plays the game of his life, which is always a possibility.

What I do expect to happen is for the game to be insanely close and incredibly high scoring. We’re talking about arguably the two best offenses in all of college football

The Buckeyes and Crimson Tide have weapons all over the field, and I can promise you both teams will find the end zone plenty Monday night.

I’m just not sure OSU will have the horses to go the distance and pull off the upset.
