But it\u2019s easy to identify what disqualifies one.<br \/>\nThat would be the recent performance of the Ohio State Buckeyes.<br \/>\nIn their last 10 games, the Buckeyes have been blown out by exactly 31 points not once but twice. They finished 2016 with a 31-0 humiliation against Clemson in the college football playoff. And last weekend they were pummeled by Iowa 55-24.<br \/>\nAlso in that 10-game window is a 31-16 home loss to Oklahoma.<br \/>\nThe Buckeyes and Urban Meyer clearly need to Tighten Up.<br \/>\nTo put the two 31-point losses in perspective, Alabama hasn\u2019t lost a game by that many points since the 1998 Music City Bowl against Virginia Tech. That\u2019s the longest such streak in the country.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s been 5 years since Auburn lost a game that bad, with three of the final 5 games in 2012 resulting in blowing losses for the Tigers.<br \/>\nWe will see how Ohio State responds. But at this point the Buckeyes need to Tighten Up simply to be considered a good program.<br \/>\nWho do you think needs to Tighten Up?
