I know that a lot of the talk around Ohio State’s schedule this season is about how difficult it is going to be, but frankly, I am incredibly excited by the possibility of the Buckeyes having multiple, legitimately losable games in the regular season. Of course, I don’t actually want them to lose any of those games, but just the possibility of the Scarlet and Gray not completely steamrolling everyone on their schedule is intriguing.
Over the past few years, it has felt less and less like a gauntlet and more like a coronation as the Buckeyes picked off nearly everyone in their path. Of course, they haven’t gone undefeated every year, and there have been disappointments, but on a week-to-week basis, it has felt like not only is a win a foregone conclusion, but that there really was no drama in the outcome at all. And while the wins are always wonderful, the anticipation of the matchup and thrill of the victory aren’t as gratifying when the opponent puts up little to no resistance.
That will not be the case this season, as the Buckeyes could end up playing seven to nine games against teams who find themselves ranked this season, including five pretty compelling games on the road. So, for this week’s fan survey, we asked Buckeye Nation which road game they would most like to attend.
Check out the full results below, and if you want to explain your rationale or add another option, head down to the comments and break it down.

Question: Which Ohio State road game would you most like to attend?
Full disclosure, USC is the one that I voted for as well. While I have no doubt that the games in Austin and Bloomington will likely carry even more meaning in the larger scope of the season, there is just something magical about the idea of being in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to see two of the most iconic brands in college football face off on Halloween. So, I went with that.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I would prefer to be at all of the road games, and it would not take any arm-twisting to even get me to go to Lincoln, Nebraska, but if I had to pick just one, it would be in SoCal for the Buckeyes and Trojans first game as conference foes.
