Buckeyes will have to overcome a decided schematic advantage with Charlie Weis on the Florida sideline.

Luckily for us, with Jim Bollman on our sideline having to overcome the opponent's decided schematic advantage has been basically a weekly guarantee, so the team has had plenty of practice.

It's kind of too bad Urban isn't going to coach this one. What an opponent for his first game at Ohio State.

Even though Luke will be the HC on the sideline, I'm sure Urban will have his fingerprints all over it ;)

I love it. Let's just hope we don't have to end up vacating another bowl win over the SEC.

Can't think of a much more favorable bowl matchup for OSU. Florida has been pretty terrible this year.

I'll go with OSU 28 Florida 24


Go Bucks!

OSU gets their first documented bowl win over an SEC team. Might win handily.

Sounds like Fickell expects Shazier to play.

Of course this would be contrary to all statements made by OSU

Urban knows everything in Florida's book. He kept an office on campus this year, he can tell Fickell everything about Florida to win. Nice advantage.

I think I read somewhere that after the top 4 teams (Wisco, MSU, UM, Nebraska), the conference (and I assume working with the various bowl directors) has discretion to place teams wherever. That's why I think you're going to see PSU fall so far despite their better record.

Yes, because Urban would be the reason OSU wins and not Florida's pathetic offense...

Ohio State has 20x as many fans that will travel to Florida. No further explanation.
