simply pointing out that our schedule this year, perceived as relatively easy, is what OSU has every year.
And I don’t think we turn into a doormat at the end of the year...we just have gotten the four seed twice against teams no one was going to beat. Did Alabama turn into a doormat in 2018 when Clemson whooped them? Did OSU magically turn into a doormat this year when Alabama humiliated them? No. They just went up against a team that was going to annihilate whoever they played and ND happened to get them first in 2018 and 2020.
That said, we did play like garbage in the ACC title game and let it get away with missed opportunities early on that changed the game away from the way we wanted it played. That was unfortunate and I will give you that. But to say we just turn into a doormat at the end of every season is a bit of an oversimplification and not exactly accurate in my view.
