Think back, if you will, to a point in the football season, and you will see several similarities between the too oft' beaten Basketball Buckeyes and the then undefeated Football Buckeyes – which could mean a change is gonna come.

In what is unquestionably the biggest college football story since Jerry Sandusky (but for completely different reasons), all of us are left with a lot of questions and very few answers.

After a would-be throttling turned into a nail biter, Ohio State prevailed against their hated rivals, and handed the Wolverines their first loss in the process. But what Thad Matta's crew did on Sunday was just a little bit of history repeating.

The 2012 season is over, for both the Buckeyes and the rest of the college football world. Here now, is a look at some Ohio State minutiae to give you your post-BCS football fix.

Today is the final day of the 2012-2013 college football season, wrapping up a rather fun year of football with a storied championship matchup for the ages. Who will you pick to win it all? With apologies to The Princess Bride...

The Buckeyes two losses in their 2013 non-conference slate highlighted the shortcomings on an otherwise very good basketball team. Can Thad Matta and the Buckeyes fill the gaps before a tough Big Ten slate begins?

The world is supposed to end today, believe it or not. If it does, I'm glad I was able to watch Ohio State win the Big Ten title in an overtime thriller against Iowa in 2009. Let's relive it, shall we?

With the Big East's Catholic basketball schools headed to their own conference (and bringing a few other teams with them, potentially), what will the impact be on Ohio State?

After his Winthrop Eagles almost upset the mighty Buckeyes, Head Coach Pat Kelsey gave a press conference that grabbed more attention than his team's play. His message was clear: it is time for a change.

Welcome to the Silly Season of college football, silly because of what is going on behind the scenes with team's staffs. After a 12-0 season, can the coaching staff Urban Meyer brought together stay together?

Only three players will be in attendance at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square for this year's Heisman Trophy presentation. Ohio State's Braxton Miller will not be among them. Did the sophomore star get snubbed?

This year's Heisman is up for grabs, and voters will be looking for a reason to separate one candidate from the rest. We examine why the case for Notre Dame LB Manti Te'o will be made off the field, rather than on.

Skip Bayless is the absolute trolliest of trolls in the sports world, and ESPN gives him a pulpit from which to preach the gospel of Tebow and LeBron each and every day. When Skip lends his pen to college football, he must be stopped.

After a perfect record in 2012, Ohio State can smile big after one hell of a season. They honeymoon is over though, and the ride is just beginning.

The Ohio State defense has trended back toward dominant over the last quarter of the season. With the return of a healthy Etienne Sabino, and with Ryan Shazier and John Simon, the Silver Bullets looked primed to take on their biggest challenge yet

Why the 2006 version of Michigan-Ohio State was the most important, and why it spelled a sea change in the world of college football.

A record-tying day for Wisconsin's Montee Ball (39 carries, 191 yards, TD), and a brave effort from a third string quarterback wasn't enough, as John Simon and the Ohio State Buckeyes survived Wisconsin in overtime.

With Wisconsin next up on the schedule, let's examine how Wisconsin has gone from Big Ten also-ran to, arguably, Ohio State's second-best rivalry game.

Ohio State will face Marquette tomorrow night. They'll also have to deal with the temperature, the weather and any remaining rust still on a team primed to make another deep tourney run.

Ohio State heads into the bye week undefeated. They won't play for a conference or national championship. But in this year of college football, maybe that's a good thing...

2002 Ohio State was one of the greatest Buckeye teams of all time. Meanwhile, in 2012, Notre Dame is looking awfully similar.

The Buckeyes beat Penn State playing their best game of the season. With three games left, Ohio State must battle four opponents: Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan...and complacency.

Penn State has risen from the metaphorical and actual ashes after a dreadful summer, and a horrible start. Ohio State is undefeated, with more questions than the LSAT. The two teams renew their rivalry tomorrow night. Who ya got?

A lot has happened with the Buckeyes since Saturday's "how'd they do that?" win over Purdue. Let's take a look, shall we?

Buckeye fans have a lot of hate to spread around the Big Ten. Here's why Purdue so richly deserves some of it.

It's a phrase that can stir up any Ohio State fan and launch 1000 arguments. But is it even fair? Why "Fake Buckeyes" should no longer exist.

History has shown that Ohio State has a big issue after big wins. Jim Tressel's teams had plenty of letdowns in his tenure. Will the Urban Meyer regime be any different?
