Ohio State #2? Not any more

There's upsets, and there's big upsets. And then there's you gotta be kidding me upsets. No way.

The latter would seem to be the case in the recently concluded Ohio State/Purdue football game.

So there were the mighty Buckeyes, undefeated, ranked #2 in the nation, and no doubt thinking about getting back into the four team playoffs at the end of the season for the national championship.

It should have been a cakewalk for them to go into Purdue and face the so-so 3-3 Boilermakers. The oddsmakers had the Buckeyes a 12 1/2 point favorite, and yours truly thought the spread should have been even larger. Shows you what I know.

In the end, not only did Ohio State get beat, they got trashed. Taken to the proverbial woodshed.

A final score of 49-22 doesn't lie. It was a beatdown. So if I have this right, the wise guys missed the mark by a whopping 41 1/2 points. Wow. Does that mean somebody might be sleeping with the fishes before the night is over?

Purdue clobbered OSU by four -- count em -- FOUR touchdowns? Get outta here.

They are joyous in West Lafayette, Indiana and well they should be. Let the party rage on.

Back in Columbus, Ohio, the Buckeye faithful are no doubt in a state of shock. How the HELL could this happen?

So Urban Meyer and company can say good-bye to any hopes of reaching the above mentioned playoffs.

And that #2 ranking?

Gone. Long gone.

After being drubbed so badly by an unranked team, they'll be lucky if they stay in the Top Ten.

Oh my. Who could have seen this coming?
