Disclaimers:
Williamson: “No Michigan, no worries.”
Miller: “Buckeyes will roll. What will Bengals do for the rest of the season without Burrow? It’s only fitting that an NFC East game should be on Turkey Day.”
Behrens: “Cream does rise to the top.”
Cordell: “I think an overmatched Illinois team is going to take a beating as retribution for the Buckeyes being underranked in the playoff polls. If a win over a top 10 Indiana team didn’t get the committee’s attention, maybe taking the whipping boy behind the woodshed will do the trick.”
Dillon: “This season is tiring.”
Laslow: “Go Bucks!”
Cook: “Go Bucks!”
Van Hoose: “Go Bucks!”
Eubanks: “Go Bucks!”
