This week, we break down the tough 13-10 loss to Indiana in the Big Ten Championship. It wasn't the result we wanted, but is it the disaster some fans think it is?

We discuss why a 3-point loss is actually a "reality check" rather than a broken season, and why the Committee's decision to give Ohio State the #2 Seed changes everything. Plus, we look at the historical blueprint: how this team ran the gauntlet after a loss last year, and why returning to the Cotton Bowl—the site of our Semifinal win over Texas—might be exactly what the Buckeyes need.

In this episode:

• The difference between a "bad loss" and a "wake-up call."

• The massive advantage of the First Round Bye.

• Scouting the path: Texas A&M or Miami?

• Why the road to the Natty runs through Dallas again.
