Well,  I am guessing there will be probably 30k+ OSU fans at Wrigley for the OSU-NW game.  It will be kinda like a home game for OSU.

But I totally agree playing football in a baseball stadium pretty much sucks,  especially if you have a perfectly good NFL stadium right down the road.

Yes end zones on both ends,

  but if it's like last years Iowa-NW game at Wrigley  big huge holes formed right at the goal line where they had to pause the game for 15 minutes to fill up the holes and resod the same spot.  I guess the goal line was right where one of the dugouts is normally.

Also both teams had to stand on the same sideline,  with the teams separated at the 50 yard line.

No idea if all those issues got fixed or not.

It will be interesting who the CFP committee ranks higher

Miami,  SMU or Boise St.  The #4 seed could possibly go to Boise St.
Based on this criteria, Boise State is closer to losing the autobid to Army than they are to catching the top 4.  The dissolution of divisions has largely removed the chance of a total wildcard winning a P4 championship

Yes,  a couple weeks ago,  I think Indiana would have been favored to beat Ohio St using comparative scores.  Since then,  Indiana looks a little more vulnerable and Ohio St has looked better. 

Ind-OSU should be a good game in 2 weeks.  Maybe Indiana will look more fresh after it's bye week. 

OSU still has a potential trap game against NW this week but even if OSU has an off game against NW,  OSU should still win.  Playing in Wrigley field should help motivate the Buckeyes.
Someone should tell Cubs that Wrigley is motivating
