In reality, once every couple of years a #1 seed is upset in the second round. Kentucky was a powerhouse a couple of years ago until it got beat by UAB in the second round. I think it's possible. The coach of Ohio State used to be the coach of Xavier, so the players may be especially pumped to put one to their old coach. The game is in Lexington, which is real close to Cincinnati where Xavier is. Both teams are from Ohio, which makes the emotions even higher. When you have all those factors together during March Madness, an upset is very possible. So, my prediction is...
Ohio State by 5
Ohio State has won 18 in a row.

I don't think you can gauge their performance against CCSU as an indication of their potential against Xavier.
That said, I think OSU will win, but if Xavier plays it's game well they could put a scare into OSU and keep it tight. I heard many pundits say that Xavier could potentially pull the upset, but in reality I don't see it happening.

no one has a chance of beating them if they play like they did yesterday against c conn st.
they are like texas, except in stead of durant they have oden, and they have a lot of other people who can take over the game unlike texas who only has durant.
GO OHIO STATE!!

Not at all, Ohio State is too good.

I really can't see that happening becuase OSU is playing really good right now.
