Summary

We're back for another Mark It Down Monday, as cleveland.com's Buckeye Talk crew debates how many Big Ten games Ohio State will win this season and which opponent is most likely to spring an upset. But first -- will there be a season at all? That question never seems to go away due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nathan Baird, Doug Lesmerises and Stephen Means discuss the events of the weekend, when the Big Ten slowed down its preseason football practice schedule and a meeting of university Presidents led to speculation the season might be in jeopardy. The gang debates how soon the Big Ten needs to make a decision and what factors could affect the decision. Then comes Mark It Down Monday, where all three predict the Buckeyes' record during the coming 10-game Big Ten-only schedule. How will COVID-19 affect and potentially interrupt the process? Which teams are most likely to beat Ohio State and why? All three cleveland.com staffers go on the record with their predictions -- and tally up the votes from our Buckeye Talk text subscribers as well.
