You've said this a couple of times.

If both teams play their best games, OSU is winning. If OSU plays its B game and Texas plays at an A level, then yes Texas will win

True, but these are some big ifs. This same roster lost to Michigan about a month ago. His rosters at OSU have always been supremely talented; this one is now more experienced and gelled than most, but it's all about maintaining whatever is motivating them. Remember Fields & Co. came out like gangbusters and destroyed Clemson in the CFP in 2020 only to lose motivation and lay a dud against Bama. If OSU keeps playing like this, they're guaranteed a championship; but these are young men. There is no guarantee they will keep playing this lights out.

If osu wins the playoffs, they need an * next to their title. They lost 2 games and were ranked #8. There should only be the top 2 teams playing for a title or 4 like it has been

OSU had multiple starters out with COVID and Sermon broke his collarbone on the first offensive snap.

And that Bama team was really good on offense

This is a 100% statement.

The key part is IF they keep this up. They are definitely hitting on all cylinders at exactly the right time, but it’s tough to maintain that level over 3-4 games.

I hope they come back to Earth so we have a chance.

No argument from me, and I think others all agree.

OSU has the most talented roster in the nation.
If they play their best game, they will most likely win it all.

But Texas is 3-0 vs Will Howard..

I understand that he was on a different team, but Sark & PK have a lot of game film of him against our defense. That being said, I fully expect Chip Kelly to utilize this same game film to create some favorable plays for OSU. PK also has a decent amount of experience going up against Chip Kelly from his Boise & UDub days..
