Overrated? Ohio State’s unimpressive win over Northwestern draws strong social media reaction

Published:
The Ohio State Buckeyes (9-0), ranked second in the College Football playoff, had a much-tougher-than-expected challenge from the Northwestern Wildcats (1-8) before eventually closing out the game in the fourth quarter and winning 21-7.
While the weather was certainly a factor, there were no excuses for the Buckeyes failing to impose themselves physically on a Northwestern team that has struggled to keep teams out of the end zone.
Users on Twitter had their own opinions of the Buckeyes performance and what the future should hold for them in the College Football playoff rankings.

This Ohio State team isn’t playing like a Top 4 team. They aren’t playing like a Top 10. And it’s not the weather, they just didn’t show up.

Ohio State should absolutely drop out of the top 4 for #CFBPlayoff rankings after this week. Can’t impose your physical will and run for big yards against Northwestern? Really?

After this embarrassing game by Ohio State, I don’t want to hear any crap about Clemson not being a top 4 team.

These types of games will get Ohio State knocked out of the top 4. You can play around with teams like Northwestern. Whoop some ass and enjoy your afternoon.

Ohio State has showed now 2 weeks in a row that they aren’t a top 4 team. Put Bama back in

Idc about the weather. When you play in Big ten you have to be ready for this stuff. The fact that the coaches/players weren’t up for the game so far is concerning. The fact that Ohio State still can’t run the ball is concerning. regardless of todays game, Bye bye top 4 lol.
