On November 4, Ohio State had a full schedule of 27 games, which was the maximum number of games allowed per NCAA rules, not counting the Big Ten Tournament. In addition to their 20 conference games (which still haven’t been announced), the Buckeyes were set to face Morehead State, Alabama A&M, Notre Dame, and North Carolina in their nonconference slate. They were also supposed to participate in the Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis, which was actually moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota and renamed the Bad Boy Mowers Crossover Classic. This tournament would have given the Buckeyes up to three more games, which would round out their schedule.
