We take a reader's question to talk about how Ohio State will bounce back Saturday. Watch video

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A struggling Ohio State offense on Saturday will face a Michigan defense ranked second in the nation in yards allowed and sixth in the nation in points allowed.

How are the Buckeyes going to get well against that?

What's the best the Buckeyes can hope for in Ann Arbor?

@DougLesmerises MSU loss. Ohio State looked so bad, the best to hope for is ugly win against Michigan. How can offense be fixed?

-- Keith Vlasak (@Vlasak9) November 23, 2015

Last week, we asked whether Michigan State or Michigan would prove to be a tougher game for the Buckeyes. In our reader vote, 79 percent said it would be Michigan.

The Buckeyes are coming off a loss and facing what most see as a greater challenge.

So as Keith asked, is the best Ohio State can hope for an ugly win?

Or is there a chance we see the Buckeyes at their new and improved best?

Bill, Ari and I talked about it in the video above.

Johnny Manziel hints that a partying video of him that was posted over the weekend could be old. He wouldn't say if it was or wasn't. Watch video

BEREA, Ohio -- Johnny Manziel hinted that a video of him partying at an Austin, Tex. nightclub on Friday night could be old, but wouldn't say whether or not it actually was.

Bustedcoverage.com first published a video posted on DJ LX's Instagram account of Manziel partying at the Summit Rooftop Lounge on Friday night in Austin. The video shows Manziel holding a bottle of what looks like champagne and singing with the DJ. The caption on the Instagram read, "Sippin on Dom Perignon for no reason with Johnny Manziel.''

Another Instagram photo of him at Austin's RIO rooftop lounge was published on Thursday night. A source confirmed for cleveland.com that Manziel at least stopped into RIO on Friday.

Later Monday afternoon, after DJ LX removed the video from his Instagram account, TMZ Sports published a story saying that it had obtained its own footage Manziel partying there Friday night. The site said multiple witnesses saw Manziel -- who vowed not to do anything to embarrass the organization over the bye week -- "boozing'' at the clubs on Thursday and Friday night.

While volunteering at the Greater Cleveland Food Bank on Monday, Manziel hinted that the video of him posted Friday night with the bottle in his hand could be old.

"You know there's all kinds of people that come out,'' he said. "Videos can be old. Videos can be all kinds of different things. So like I said, I'm not in a state to be able to speak on it because my focus has been on this today and what really matters in this game on Monday. So that's where my focus has been. I did get a chance to relax. So I haven't seen anything like that, and I'm not going to be able to speculate on it right now."

Asked specifically if the video was old, Manziel said, "I haven't seen it, so I can't speak on it."

He did not, however, deny partying in Austin on those nights when given the chance to do so Monday.

"I've been here for this (volunteer) event, and that's really what I want to talk about, the things that are really important, not what I'm doing off the field,'' he said. "It's what we're doing here in the community and what we're doing to get ready for this game on Monday night. So that's where my focus is, and I haven't had my focus anywhere else. I know that."

Manziel, who vowed that no one would have to worry about him over the bye week, acknowledged that he went home to Texas and returned to Ohio Saturday morning.

"The bye week was great,'' he said. "I got a chance to go to see the Ohio State-Michigan State game. For all of the Ohio people, I don't think it went as well as they would've liked to but I got a chance to go back home for a little bit and come back early on Saturday and just get a chance to start looking over for the game and watched Baltimore play and obviously get kind of a jump on them and come here today and do this. I was very excited to do that.''

Manziel noted that he returned to Ohio a few days early, like he said he would. The players had five days off, from Thursday through Monday.

"(I was) able to come back early on Saturday, see a cool game and then get to spend some time getting ready for the week and for the game on (Monday) which is obviously going to be really big,'' he said. "I think this will be my first night game at FirstEnergy other than a preseason game since I've been here, so really looking forward to seeing what the atmosphere's going to be like, especially for a Monday night game.

"I'm pumped. I'm looking forward to this week of prep, getting a chance to get a day off on Thanksgiving. So much to be thankful for but it's a big week and I'm very excited to be back here and ready to go.''

Before Manziel left Cleveland for his five days off, coach Mike Pettine sat him down and warned him to be a model citizen, especially since he had named him the starter for the final six games of the season.

"I let him know that I'm not going to do anything that's going to be a distraction to this team or be an embarrassment to the organization,'' Manziel said before leaving town. "I'm going to get a chance to go and relax like everybody else in this locker room is. I don't think they're going to have to worry about me this week."

Manziel, who was cleared by the NFL last week for a possible violation of the personal conduct policy, insisted he's on solid ground. But he admitted to drinking during the day during his roadway incident Oct. 12 with his girlfriend, Colleen Crowley. He also spent his mini-bye two weeks ago out and about at Texas A&M.

For most 22-year-old, a few drinks is no big deal. But Manziel spent 10 weeks in an addiction treatment center in the offseason, and photos of him partying on social media are red flags for the Browns. That's why Pettine felt the need to address Manziel's behavior after handing him the reins.

"He's done some things to affect that trust, clearly,'' said Pettine. "And it's something that we talk about. He understands it and he knows that with these expectations there comes great responsibility. That's something that he knows he has to live up to."

Pettine admitted the team has been concerned with the recent events.

"We're always concerned about our players outside of the building, we talk to them about it,'' he said. "They know that there's a standard of behavior that they have to live up to. He and I got a chance to sit down (Tuesday) morning and that was one of the things, I won't go into details, but that was one of the things that came up in this discussion.''

The former Heisman Trophy winner and wildly popular player understands that the intense scrutiny comes with the territory.

"It's been pretty constant fire since the day I got here,'' he said. "I'm sure it'll be amped up a little bit. But off the field, I'm not really worried about anything. I'm in a good place, and I'm going to continue to try and like I said relax. That's what a couple of these days are for, not all five. I definitely won't take all five [days off], but two or three days, get a chance to shut it down."

LeBron James contributed 15 points, six rebounds, and 13 assists in Cleveland's 117-103 win over the Orlando Magic Monday night.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - LeBron James joined Oscar Robertson as the only players among the NBA's top 25 career scorers and assist makers in another Cavaliers win.

The first five of James' season-high-tying 13 assists in Cleveland's 117-103 win over the Orlando Magic pushed him past Norm Nixon (6,386 assists) into 25^th place in league history.

James fell six points short of the 21 he needed to pass Reggie Miller (25,279 points) for 18^th place on the NBA's career points list. He finished with 15 points on 7-of-14 shooting and added six rebounds.

In 14 seasons, the "Big O" tallied 26,710 points (11^th place) and 9,887 assists (6^th place). James is early into his 13^th season.

"Every time there's a young great player everybody talks about Michael (Jordan), but to me he's always been more like a Magic (Johnson) or an Oscar-type player because of his vision," Magic coach Scott Skiles said before the game. "That's what makes it so difficult. If you think you're going to give him a steady diet of running and double teaming him, he's going to carve you up. He's going to find everybody, find the open man."

"He's going to play the game the way he wants to play it, but his vision certainly sets him apart from a lot of the great players."

James' milestone-setting assists came with 5:00 left in the second quarter, when he found Kevin Love on the wing for a three-ball. Love was in the midst of scoring 17 consecutive points for the Cavs and was on his way to a game and season-high 34 points.

James, who was announced as the Eastern Conference Player of the Week earlier Monday, failed to score 20 for the second consecutive game and third time this season. He was just 1-of-5 from the foul line and punctuated his scoring night when Love found him on a runout for a one-handed slam with 4:10 to go.

A scary moment for James: With 5:13 in the first quarter, Orlando's Victor Oladipo hammered him from behind while he was going up for what he thought was a breakaway dunk.

Oladipo caught up to James and tried to block his shot (which didn't go in), and in the process sent him toward a hard fall on his tailbone. James didn't accept when Oladipo offered a hand up.

It was in December when Orlando's Tobias Harris tried to start trouble with James (Oladipo's play was different), causing James to declare afterwards he had de-activated "chill mode" to beat Harris on the scoreboard.

I don't ever start altercations, but I don't mind them when they happen," James said Monday, speaking of Harris. "It kind of fuels me sometimes, fuels my guys. I never one to start up an altercation or I'm not a bully. I've never been a fan of the bully. But I don't mind knocking them down, so if that's whatever game or if it's a player and we get to that point of the game, I can do it."

Kevin Love leads the defending Eastern Conference champs with 34 points in a 117-103 victory at home over the Orlando Magic.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Kevin Love's game-high 34 points and eight boards -- highlighted by his monstrous second quarter -- kept the Cleveland Cavaliers on track.

The defending Eastern Conference champs lengthened their winning streak to three with a 117-103 victory at home over the Orlando Magic on Monday night.

LeBron James registered 15 points, six boards and a game-high 13 dimes. J.R. Smith scored 26 points and was 6-of-10 from distance.

Thanks to an assertive Love, the Cavaliers won their 11^th straight game over the Magic, their current longest winning streak against any opponent.

Cleveland (11-3) came out strong by getting off to an 11-2 start, but Orlando outscored them 25-18 to close the quarter with momentum. The Cavaliers' lead was only by two. Orlando (6-8) would overtake it and push it to a 10-point lead midway in the second.

The Cavaliers needed someone to get angry and step up. Last season Magic forward Tobias Harris got into a verbal exchange with James, which led to the superstar taking over the game and willing his team to a road win.

"I don't ever start altercations, but I don't mind when they happen," James said before the game. "It kind of fuels me."

However, it wasn't James this time around. The second half of the second quarter was all about unconditional Love.

The power forward displayed his full arsenal. He played inside-out by punishing his opponent on the low block with multiple jump-hooks. He then extended out to 3-point range and knocked down four in the quarter to help the Cavaliers take a four-point halftime advantage.

James, in particular, looked for his frontcourt mate often. Love had 27 points at half, a season-high. It was arguably the most comfortable he's looked in a Cavaliers' uniform. James has stated time after time that Love is the focal point of the offense. It sure looked that way on Monday.

In the third quarter, everybody joined in on the fun. The ball wasn't sticking. On one possession James found Love on the baseline for a quick one-handed touch pass to Thompson in the paint for the slam.

The ball movement was extraordinary as they built their lead to 21. At this point, the contest was decided. The Cavaliers distributed 10 of their 34 assists in the third.

Orlando's reserves chipped at the deficit in the fourth to come within 12 with three minutes remaining, but a Love fast-break pass led to a James dunk and the remainder of the game was anticlimatic.

Andrew Nicholson put in 18 points and eight rebounds off the bench for the Magic. Evan Fournier supplied 13 points.

Mo Williams (ankle) and Timofey Mozgov (shoulder) sat out their second consecutive game. Matthew Dellavedova is nursing a sore leg, but he played exceptionally. He produced 15 points, nine assists and committed zero turnovers in 24 minutes.

David Blatt said that if Kyrie Irving and Williams were healthy, Dellavedova wouldn't have played in these last two games. It shows how much he's gutting it out.

Tristan Thompson continued his assault on the glass by pulling down a game-high 14 rebounds and contributing nine points.

So close on one, successful on another

James fell five points short of passing Hall of Famer Reggie Miller for 18^th on the NBA's all-time scoring list. But his fifth assist -- coming in the second quarter -- allowed him to join legend Oscar Robertson as the only two players to rank in the Top 25 all-time in points and assists.

That's pretty good company.

Hudson last week: Defeated Mayfield, 31-6. 

Perry last week: Defeated Caldwell, 44-34.

About Hudson: The Explorers are making their second straight trip to the state semifinals and doing so with a defense that was as dominant as it's been against this past week against Mayfield. Hudson held the Wildcats to -16 rushing yards and sacking quarterback Mario Monastero 11 times. Defense has been at the forefront of Hudson's success, led by the likes of Roman Moreno, David O'Connor, Greg Robinson, Matt Restifo and Joe Ritner. Coach Ron Wright said he feels the offense has found its niche as well and that niche is keeping the ball on the ground and grinding out yards. The Explorers ran for 237 yards against Mayfield split mainly between Moreno, Jackson Parker and Restifo. Hudson's main objective against Perry will be stopping the Panthers' potent running game, which the Explorers did so well in Round 3. 

About Perry: Keishaun Sims and Tevion Cleveland provide the Panthers' running game with a powerful one-two punch. Sims was a 2,000-yard rusher during the regular season. In Round 3 against Kilbourne, he took 30 carries for 169 yards and two touchdowns while Cleveland picked up 144 yards and a touchdown on the ground and caught a 34-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Max Becker. Perry out-gained Kilbourne, 385-188, in total yardage. Since surrendering 41 points to Massillon Washington in Week 1, the Panthers' defense has given up no more than 17 points to any opponent. Perry has outscored opponents 103-21 in the postseason.

Browns and Cavs pitch in with TownHall's annual event.

CLEVELAND, Ohio --- At noontime the line of people waiting to be served a Thanksgiving dinner snaked out the back door of TownHall in Ohio City today as the third-annual Feed the Need event put about 3,000 dinners out for all comers.

Adding to the treat was the chance to be served by an assortment of Cleveland sports celebrities who offered their free labor.

Children from Paul Dunbar School in the neighborhood squealed at sightings of such pro athletes as J.R. Smith, Alex Mack, Joe Haden and Josh Cribbs, who dished out mashed potatoes, stuffing and of course thick slices of turkey.

The West 25th Street restaurant was so packed that an overflow crowd was served in a tent erected on the patio out back. Nearly a hundred wait staff and volunteers kept the turkey flowing. 

The event also raises money for St. Augustine's Hunger Center, where the needy are fed year round. Those who may be interested in contributing to this worthy cause can learn more at gofundme.com/thfeed the need.

Mogadore last week: Defeated Warren JFK, 35-7.

Danville last week: Defeated Caldwell, 44-34.

About Mogadore: The Wildcats outscored their first three playoff opponents, 126-27, including a 28-0 Round 2 shutout of Norwalk St. Paul, which was the team's fourth, and last week's 35-7 win against Warren JFK. The team is coming off a game in which five players reached the end zone. Gavin Chew started things off with an interception returned 42 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. Austin Williams was also among the Wildcats to score, finishing with 15 carries for 82 yards. Williams also had 56 rushing yards and a touchdown against St. Paul. Quarterback Zeddie Pollock completed 5-of-9 passes for 100 yards, including a 39-yard touchdown strike to Jared Dunn. Mogadore's versatility and number of playmakers on both sides of the ball make the Wildcats a tough team to beat. 

About Danville: The Blue Devils surrendered 32 points during the regular season and posted five straight shutouts at one point, though opponents have scored 54 points against them in their last two regional playoff matchups. Danville is coming off of a 10-point win against Caldwell, the team's slimmest margin of victory so far. Quarterback Ridge "Shakey" Durbin leads the Blue Devils' offense which is averaging nearly 53 points per game. Durbin threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns against Caldwell and ran for two more. He will need to be on top of his game in order to make plays against Mogadore's well-disciplined defensive unit.

Mike Pettine announced today that the Browns have demoted Johnny Manziel to third-string.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Mike Pettine demoted Johnny Manziel all the way to third string a week after he was named the starting quarterback for the remainder of the regular season. The demotion comes following videos surfacing over the weekend of Manziel partying.

Pettine had indicated earlier in the day that a move back to veteran Josh McCown could be imminent. The switch was later announced in a press release from the team.

A balanced attack lifts Cleveland State to a 57-52 victory over Rider in the Cancun Challenge in Cancun, Mexico.

CSU 

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland State's rebuilding process took a solid step forward Tuesday afternoon with a 57-52 victory over Rider at the Cancun Challenge in Cancun, Mexico.

The victory lifted the Vikings to 2-2 on the season while Rider remained winless (0-4). Freshman guard Rob Edwards was the catalyst for Cleveland State, scoring 17 points to go with three assists. Junior guard Andre Yates had 13 points, and freshman Daniel Levitt delivered 11 points off the bench.

After the game coach Gary Waters was clearly pleased.

"Our kids came out with good attitudes today and played hard," Waters said. "I told them they had to forget about that last game and come out today and compete and they responded to that challenge."

The Vikings led at halftime, 28-22. After the break, CSU pushed its lead out to 32-23. But a 13-2 run by Rider put CSU down, 36-34.

Jeron Rogers hit a free throw to tie it at 43. After a Rider free throw, Edwards hit a jumper and found Levitt in the corner for a transition three that gave CSU a 48-44 lead with 5:34 to play. CSU extended the lead to five points (53-48) before Rider made a late run to cut the deficit to one. The Vikings then closed out the game at the line.

The Vikings play their final game in Cancun on Wednesday afternoon at 3 against the winner of Tuesday's game between South Dakota State and Houston Baptist.

Browns head coach demotes Manziel to third-string. Watch video

BEREA, Ohio -- The Johnny Manziel era could be over before it began. Mike Pettine, announced today in a press release that Josh McCown will start at quarterback on Monday night against the Ravens and Manziel has been dropped to third-string.

Related: Johnny Manziel demoted to 3rd-string quarterback

Earlier in the day, Pettine had indicated that he could decide to bench Manziel. He was going to have meetings with Manziel and his coaches among others to determine the next move. Obviously, those meetings didn't go well for Manziel.

In statement from coach Mike Pettine, Haslam backs decision to demote troubled quarterback. A stronger statement from the owner might be needed.

BEREA, Ohio - Owning an NFL teams doesn't come with a call sheet like the kind coaches use to make game-day decisions based on down, distance, circumstance and feel.

But as it pertains to Johnny Manziel's latest off-field escapades, Jimmy Haslam finally showed an ability to read the play. He backed coach Mike Pettine, who Tuesday demoted his young quarterback to third string just days after naming him starter for bringing more unwanted attention to organization with his rebellious behavior.

"I informed the quarterbacks of that decision after I sat down and spoke with Johnny, (offensive coordinator John DeFilippo) and (quarterbacks coach Kevin O'Connell) after practice today," Pettine said in a statement. "Johnny will be the third quarterback. I've spoken to Ray (Farmer) and Jimmy (Haslam) to inform them of my decision, and they are in full support."

It's a good first step for the fourth-year owner and a message that carries ramifications beyond the final six weeks of the season. Haslam needed to buttress Pettine's wishes even if he parts ways with his coach and general manager in January.

There will be ample attention paid to this developing situation and not just among players in the locker room and the fan base. If Haslam opts for a regime change after this year, potential replacements will want to see how he deals with life unscripted, especially when it involves Manziel, a polarizing player the owner obviously likes.

Haslam is No. 2's biggest fan in the building and, fair or not, he's perceived as his chief enabler over two checkered seasons. It would be prudent for him to make his own firm statement in the coming days and he must be prepared to part ways with Manziel if that's what his coaches and management team recommend in the near future.

The owner also could arrive at that conclusion independently, which would be a sign of real leadership sorely lacking in Berea.

Pettine used the word "disappointment" to express his thoughts on the pictures and videos that showed Manziel partying over the weekend in Austin, Texas. Pettine's body language on Tuesday screamed "disgust."

Manziel hinted Monday the video might have been dated, but if that were true somebody in his camp should have removed all doubt by Tuesday morning. Busted Coverage first posted the video. A source told cleveland.com that Manziel was at the rooftop lounge on Friday and TMZ published a story citing multiple eyewitnesses who saw him "boozing" at Austin clubs on back-to-back nights.

The accounts came just days after Manziel pledged "not to do anything to be an embarrassment to the organization" during his time off. They came just days after Pettine named him the starter for the remainder of the season and warned him about being on his best behavior during the bye.

It was Goodfellas' Jimmy Conway telling his crew after the Lufthansa heist, "don't do anything to attract attention," and Frankie Carbone rushing out to buy his wife a fur.

Manziel broke no laws. He's of legal drinking age. But it's just the latest example of an entitled athlete who either doesn't care what his coaches think or simply can't help himself. Either way it's not a good look and Haslam had to know it.

It seems Manziel is at least as much concerned with maintaining his anti-establishment image as becoming a bona fide NFL starter. After a few months of positive strides following a wasted rookie season and 10 weeks of rehab, he's back to emulating the famous Johnny Cash poster - middle finger extended to the camera. There was the domestic incident on the Avon motorways and his weekend of partying at Texas A&M. The most recent pictures and videos from Austin make you wonder how important evolving into a franchise QB is to him.

"It's all part of the frustration, the disappointment,'' Pettine said Tuesday before releasing his statement. "When the behavior repeats, it's certainly a cause for concern."

After his solid start in Pittsburgh, in which he was poised and made plays from the pocket, I favored starting him the remainder of the year. It says here Manziel isn't the long-term answer, but the Browns needed an extended look.

It won't happen, now, and that's fine given the circumstances. The accumulation of missteps justifies Pettine's decision. Trying to project the right way to run an organization - which has not been Haslam's strong suit - is more important than giving a kid who doesn't respect authority a chance to build on his modest on-field progress.

Words into action, right, Jimmy?

A larger question looms. Is Haslam willing to cut his SEC darling, the one his organization drafted No. 22 overall in 2014?

The owner probably has about two months to reach a decision, but he doesn't need that much time to address it with the fan base. Manziel has made Haslam's continued support look foolish. The Browns remain a franchise mired in dysfunction lacking a clear voice.

It's time for Haslam to speak up. He can be assured lots of influential people around the league will be listening.

Head coach Mike Pettine says that Joel Bitonio could get close by Monday night.

BEREA, Ohio -- On a day when Johnny Manziel lost his job as starting quarterback, the Browns are hoping to get a few other starters closer to playing on Monday night against Baltimore. One of those starters is responsible for protecting the man replacing Manziel, Josh McCown.

"The bye was good for (left guard) Joel (Bitonio)," head coach Mike Pettine said on Tuesday. "He got a lot of good treatment in. I would think by the end of the week that there is a chance that he would at least get himself to the point where he'd be questionable for the game."

Bitonio left the team's Thursday night game in Cincinnati with an ankle injury. He missed the team's last game in Pittsburgh. Rookie Cameron Erving filled in for Bitonio and struggled at times.

"(Erving) really played hard," assistant offensive line coach George DeLeone said last week. "Unfortunately, he had a few mistakes that ended up costing him, costing us and costing him, and the shame of it was they were mistakes that an experienced player will not make and, in another game, they'll be mistakes that he won't make again."

The Browns are also hoping to get defensive end Randy Starks back against Baltimore, though it seems unlikely to this point. Pettine said the bye was good for Starks as well.

"He's certainly improved," Pettine said. "Just whether there's a big enough window between now and Monday to get him back, that remains to be seen."

"He's been everything you want, especially from a leadership standpoint," defensive line coach Anthony Weaver said of Starks last week. "He is undoubtedly the leader in my room, and he's helped those young guys. Those young guys will be better throughout their career because of the year they spent with Randy Starks. I'm extremely pleased with how he's been since he's been here."

Pettine said on Tuesday that cornerback Joe Haden remains in the concussion protocol along with wide receivers Andrew Hawkins and Taylor Gabriel. Safety Donte Whitner came out of the protocol last week.

Unfamiliar faces: The Browns will face a different-looking team on Monday night than the Ravens team they beat back in October. Joe Flacco is out for the season with a torn ACL and MCL. It's the first time that Flacco will miss a game in his career up to this point.

"I was there when he was a rookie, wasn't even supposed to start," Pettine said on Tuesday. "Was the three coming into the season, got thrust into it and has been on quite a run ever since. Yeah, that'll be a strange deal. That's tough for the kid. I know what a competitor he is having been around him, how much he loves football, how important it is to him. That's crushing for him. Then just speaks to his toughness that he was able to finish the game with apparently a torn ACL and MCL."

The Ravens will also be without starting running back Justin Forsett on Sunday. Forsett suffered a broken arm against the Rams. He ran for 121 yards against the Browns in the teams' first meeting.

Iowa moved into the top four, while Michigan State moved up to No. 5.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State is ranked No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday night after the Buckeyes lost their first game of the season on Saturday to Michigan State.

The drop for the 10-1 Buckeyes was about what was expected and kept Ohio State on the outside edge of playoff possibilities. 

Ohio State was No. 3 in each of the first three rankings of the season, when the Buckeyes were 8-0, 9-0 and 10-0.

Michigan State moved up to No. 5 after beating the Buckeyes, while undefeated Big Ten West champion Iowa moved into the projected playoff field for the first time at No. 4.

Oklahoma also jumped into the top four for the first time this season at No. 3.

Ohio State football needs a win over Michigan, and Penn State to beat Michigan State to earn a spot in the Big Ten Championship.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Ohio State students know what needs to happen for the Buckeyes football team to get into the Big Ten Championship.

Ohio State needs to beat Michigan on Saturday, and needs Penn State to beat Michigan State. That gets the Buckeyes to Indianapolis. So at least for one week, Buckeyes fans should be cheering for Penn State.

The Buckeyes are No. 8 and they don't need crazy outcomes to imagine getting back in the top four mix next week.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Thoughts on the fourth College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday night.

1. What's the highest No. 8 Ohio State could be next week? We're not talking crazy upsets, but reasonable losses, knowing that crazy upsets could always happen.

Even if they lost, No. 1 Clemson and No. 2 Alabama probably would not fall behind the No. 8 Buckeyes. But there are plenty of other games for the Buckeyes and their fans to watch.

If No. 3 Oklahoma loses to No. 11 Oklahoma State ...

If No. 4 Iowa loses at Nebraska, with the Hawkeyes just 1.5-point favorites ...

If No. 5 Michigan State loses to Penn State, with that line based on whether Spartans starting quarterback Connor Cook plays or not ...

If No. 6 Notre Dame loses at No. 9 Stanford ...

If No. 7 Baylor loses at No. 19 TCU ...

Then the No. 8 Buckeyes could absolutely jump back into the top four next week by beating No. 10 Michigan.

The question would be if two-loss No. 9 Stanford and one-loss No. 11 Oklahoma State would move past the Buckeyes. But Ohio State would be in the heart of the discussion. 

2. With Ohio State's loss, Northwestern saved the Big Ten: Iowa is No. 4, Michigan State is No. 5, Ohio State is No. 8 and Michigan is No. 10. The Big Ten is all over the playoff rankings. But the Big Ten could also be looking at missing the playoff if it wasn't for Northwestern.

Consider a moment a world in which Stanford beat Northwestern in the first week of the season, instead of the Wildcats upsetting the Cardinal.

* Northwestern would be 8-3 instead of 9-2 and Stanford would be 10-1 instead of 9-2.

* Northwestern would not be in the committee's top 25. With that 9-2 record, Northwestern is at No. 20 - giving Iowa its only win over a top 20 team.

* Stanford would be much higher than its current standing at No. 9 as the highest-ranked two-loss team. As a one-loss team with wins over top 25 foes Washington State, UCLA and Utah, as well as that solid road win over Northwestern, Stanford could be as high as No. 5 and would be no lower than No. 7.

* The Notre Dame-Stanford game Saturday would now be something like No. 5 vs. No. 6, maybe a virtual playoff play-in game for the one-loss winner. Instead, a Stanford win will knock the Irish out of the playoff picture while still putting the Cardinal behind any one-loss Big Ten team. If Notre Dame wins, beating Stanford is slightly less impressive given that the fifth-best Big Ten also beat Stanford. 

* Ohio State had the Big Ten's playoff spot locked up if the Buckeyes had won out, but with Ohio State's loss, the Big Ten has to make more of a case. The way things stand, if Michigan State and Iowa win this weekend, their Big Ten Championship matchup will send the winner to the playoff, for sure.

If Iowa's strength of scheduie was weakened by having Michigan State as the only top 25 team on its schedule, the idea of an unbeaten Iowa missing the playoff in favor of Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma and a one-loss Pac-12 Stanford without a loss to Northwestern and with a win over Notre Dame would be on the table.

Instead, the Big Ten is in great shape, thanks in part to its fifth-best team.

3. Ohio State would have been much better off losing to Indiana and beating Michigan State: This point has been reinforced again. In the playoff world, if you must lose, take a loss to a mediocre team that can be labeled a fluke and then beat the good teams on your schedule.

Ohio State did it last year with Virginia Tech. No. 3 Oklahoma is now getting a pass from the committee for its loss to 4-6 Texas because the Sooners have been playing well and beating better opponents. It's not the poll world anymore.

If the Buckeyes were sitting at 10-1 right now but they had lost that game at Indiana and beaten Michigan State last week, they'd be higher than their current No. 8 spot.

4. Speaking of Indiana: Those four Big Ten teams in the top 10 of the playoff rankings?

No. 4 Iowa led the Hoosiers just 21-20 with 11 minutes left in the game before winning 35-27.

No. 5 Michigan State led the Hoosiers just 28-26 with 13 minutes left in the game before pulling away for a 52-26 win.

No. 8 Ohio State beat the Hoosiers just 34-27 as Indiana threw a pass into the endzone on the game's final play after a fourth-down snap from the 9-yardline that hit a receiver in the hands.

No. 10 Michigan beat the Hoosiers 48-41 in double overtime after the Wolverines tied the game on the final play of regulation with a 5-yard touchdown pass.

The road to Big Ten elite status goes through the 5-6 Hoosiers.

There are four Big Ten teams in the CFP Top 10 and they all kinda almost lost to Indiana. w h a t a t i m e t o b e a l i v e

5. How can the Big Ten still miss the playoff? If Iowa beats Nebraska on Friday and Michigan State beats Penn State on Saturday, the 12-0 Hawkeyes and 11-1 Spartans will play in the Big Ten Championship and the winner will go to the playoff.

If Michigan State loses, the winner of Ohio State-Michigan will go to play Iowa. If Ohio State wins, the Buckeyes would have a real playoff shot, while the Wolverines would have an outside shot as a two-loss champ if they would win the Big Ten title.

Iowa has clinched the West and will be in Indy, but if the Hawkeyes lose to Nebraska and then beat Michigan State, the Big Ten might be in trouble.

Ohio State is now 2-2 heading into Friday's game against Memphis in Miami.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- For the first time this season, Thad Matta's young Ohio State basketball team was put in a tight game it had the chance to win with good basketball down the stretch.

It didn't.

The Buckeyes tied it midway through the fourth quarter, but never could sustain a run to take a lead in a 82-74 loss to Louisiana Tech on Tuesday night at Value City Arena. The loss was the second straight for the Buckeyes, who lost to Texas-Arlington last Friday.

Marc Loving scored a career-high 25 points to lead the Buckeyes (2-2). Alexander Hamilton had 24 to lead Louisiana Tech. Ohio State shot 17-for-27 from the foul line and 5-for-14 from the 3-point line.

The Buckeyes tied the game at 55 on a free throw from Marc Loving, part of an 11-2 Ohio State run. But just like every time the Buckeyes tied the game in the early going, Louisiana Tech pulled away with a run of its own.

This one was a 12-4 run that included six points from Alex Hamilton and put the Bulldogs back up 67-59 with just under eight minutes to play.

It looked like Ohio State was going to come out flat again with Louisiana Tech running out to a 7-0 lead. Ohio State got three offensive rebounds on its first possession, but couldn't get a bucket. The Buckeyes eventually responded to the quick run and tied the game at 12 on a runner from Lyle, but the Buckeyes never led in the first half.

Ohio State had it tied at 25 after a drive from Bates-Diop with 7:44 left in the half. The Bulldogs came back with a quick 9-2 run to pull back ahead. Ohio State, which was in the bonus early in the first half could have helped itself at the free-throw line, finished the half 59 percent (10-for-17) at the stripe.

The Bulldogs led 42-38 at the half.

When it was over

When Louisiana Tech's Erik McCree hit a 3-pointer from the corner to put the Bulldogs up 76-69 with 1:50 left. The Buckeyes turned the ball over on their next possession.

Crucial run

After the Buckeyes tied the game at 55, the Bulldogs went on a 12-4 run to retake the lead. The Bulldogs never trailed.

Giddens starts

Thad Matta hinted this week that he was thinking about throwing out a different lineup for Tuesday's game. He did. Freshman center Daniel Giddens started in place of Trevor Thompson, who had started the first three games of the season.

The move was a mere formality because Giddens had been averaging more minutes, points and rebounds than Thompson through the first three games. Giddens left Tuesday's game briefly in the first half with what looked like an injury to his lower right leg. He missed just a few minutes.

Loving reaches 500 career points

Loving needed four points coming into Tuesday to reach 500 for his career. He got them with a drive in the first half that cut the Bulldogs lead to 12-10. Loving also eclipsed 200 career rebounds in the game.

What it means

Ohio State is 2-2, and that's two straight losses against an unranked non-conference opponent. Something that had been rare under Matta coming into this season.

What's next

Ohio State concludes play in the Basketball Hall of Fame Invitational on Friday night against Memphis (2-2) at American Airlines Arena in Miami. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. on ESPN2.

A near-capacity crowd came to see defending NCAA champion Ohio State take on a Cleveland State program that nearly was eliminated last spring.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Ohio State and Cleveland State - programs that represented the highest peak and deepest valley of wrestling in 2015 - squared off Tuesday night in a dual meet that was as much celebration as it was a homecoming.

It also turned into a bit of a thriller.

Defending national champion and fifth-ranked Ohio State beat the unranked Vikings, 26-18, in a meet that shockingly came down to the final match.

A near-capacity crowd of 1,811 spiraled the Woodling Gym atmosphere into a frenzy not felt there in a more than a decade, a scene that seemed almost impossible eight months ago when the CSU wresting program was on the chopping block.

"This was a validation,'' CSU senior captain Riley Shaw said. "This was a great stamp on things, that we're here to stay.''

Former Olympic silver medalist and CSU grad Matt Ghaffari called the night a "reinstatement party'' and said it reminded him of the early 1980s when defending national champion Iowa and Oklahoma would rock the cozy venue.

"This was good for Cleveland State and Northeast Ohio, and Ohio State - they recruit a lot of kids out of here. This is pretty big for Cleveland State, and it's good for our sport,'' said Ghaffari.

CSU announced March 30 it would defund wrestling in favor of starting a new men's lacrosse team. Local and national reaction was so swift the school backed down two weeks later and found new funding, a $1 per credit hour fee increase, to keep the wrestling program alive.

Among the first to call CSU coach Ben Stehura in April was OSU coach Tom Ryan, who offered to wrestle at Woodling. Ryan brought a team built partially with Northeast Ohioans, including 125-pound national champ Nathan Tomasello (CVCA) of Parma.

"You've got a jewel here. This area - these tough, gritty people - love the sport of wrestling. There's no reason this program can't thrive here,'' said Ryan, whose team improved to 3-0.

Cleveland State junior Nick Montgomery's pin at 149 pounds - while trailing 5-0 - cut OSU's lead to 21-18 heading into the final match. OSU freshman Jake Ryan, the son of coach Ryan, quickly ended the suspense and beat freshman John Vaughn by technical fall, 21-6.

Cleveland State (4-3) won four of the nine matches wrestled, including 10th-ranked heavyweight Riley Shaw's 6-4 victory over No. 18 Nathan Tomasello (Wadsworth) in the marquee match, and received a forfeit when OSU's Mark Martin (St. Edward) failed to make weight at 197, which Tom Ryan blamed on the team being delayed by more than an hour in a traffic jam.

CSU's other winner was 141-pounder Mike Carlone, whose reversal with two seconds left beat Cody Burcher, 4-3.

Tomasello won by technical fall after shaking off gutsy freshman Evan Cheek's takedown at the opening whistle. Afterward, he signed autographs and posed for pictures.

"I love the fan support. It continues to push me to get better. This was an awesome dual. It was fun,'' he said.

Johnni DiJulius (Walsh Jesuit) managed an escape with 16 seconds left to beat Alfredo Gray (Wadsworth), 5-4, at 133 pounds.
