It is conceivable. Notre Dame is a great team this year, but I'd bet on the seniors of Ohio State to come to play and shut down the Notre Dame offense. In other news, 5 of the 6 NFL wildcard games were blowouts. Division weekend will hopefully be a bit better.

B1G YouTubers were loving the viewer support from Duck fans this season.

Forget Last Vegas, Deon want Dallas!

It makes a lot of sense for Sanders to move on to another Coaching job that appears to be a step up. With his son and Hunter off to the NFL and having had a respectable season, he needs to jump now, to avoid risk of his coaching being questioned. Anybody on the Buffs we want in the second round of the portal? I thought they snagged a high end OL from signing with us, so maybe he'll come over now.

Yeah, the qualifier being "really good"Oregon teams. Georgia could be blamed on talent deficiency, which turned out to not be that bad, so I think it had more to do with the team jelling, but Ohio State is mostly on coaching prep, game plan, scheme and the long break.

Chargers game is a tough watch, with the OL getting beat bad and pressure getting to Herbert who has 3 picks, nearly as many he made all season in 250 throws per the stats. Only 6 points with 12 minutes left. Aways games aren't easy, even in the pros.

I'm going to start a topic at some point exploring the hypothetical of Ohio State NOT losing to Michigan and how things would have played out in that scenario.

I'll be excited about Moore if Dan doesn't take a portal QB. So far, so good..

31-16 OSU 3 9 289

Drew and Franklin are a perfect match. Neither has clutch. They just do it completely opposite. Franklin withdraws into his shell, and Allar loses his discipline.

I think ND is probably a bit better, but we play the games for a reason. I hope PSU wins and we have 2 teams that we beat playing for the NC.

Charles admits he picked OBD over his wife. Does it get any more dedicated than that?! LoL My wife's coming, gotta go...

I think the best team since 2014 was the 2023 team. It was better than our 2024 team in hindsight.

Hawaii is the only week 0 team we should consider scheduling, and we just dumped them for little bro, so not really interested.

It's tough to be dominant at 5'10" unless you 1st name is Tez your last name is Johnson, because you can't teach height and catch radius, you have to make up for it with obscene change of direction and speed and ability He may be Evan Stewart 2.0 without 700 thousand crazy female Instagram followers.. I hope he ends up living up to his ranking as the best WR in the class though, you can't win championships without difference makers.

What really mattered to Becky was having elite WRs and TEs. When nobody could get open or catch a ball at Georgia he panicked and failed. But even if he is better than at Georgia it won't make up for the deficiencies of the rest of the team. If CAM couldn't do it, almost no one could.

I don't want a bye when it's more than two weeks. That's just a poison pill as we saw this year, horrible first halves for all bye teams. In the NFL It's just one week which is perfect. Enough to get rested without getting soft.

That calculator is wrong. 10.5 speed historically related to about 4.4X speed on turf. 10 flat would be 4.25-4.30 territory.

Nope, it's the new standard for Alabama to lose 4 games a year, har har.

I'm sure he will be we compensated for this decision. Glad to have him back for another year of improvement. He will benefit from getting developed to be more of a 3 down backer that can cover.

I agree with Charles for the most part. Keep in mind, this is a generational talent level on the OSU roster this year. We'll see if Georgia can pull off one of these "keep all the juniors for one more year" dream teams like Michigan and OSU put together. We were not imposters in the top shelf 6 teams in the country this year. I do have a continuing concern that the extra effort our coaches put into recruiting between games late in the season is likely a detrimental disadvantage to historical blue bloods with records that recruit themselves, when play them. We got out coached by DeBoer and Grubb who didn't recruit last year, and we got smoked by Kelly who we know doesn't recruit either this year. It's a small sample size but the cause and affect is as good of an explanation as anything else for explaining our crappy game plans and player preparedness.

This is a mess. I agree their should have been a clean break, but as I've said before, the NCAA seems clueless they hired lawyers who only interest is to generate more in the future. With such a mess I don't think we get to a new model anytime soon. 2032 may be too soon. Until then capitalism will have free reign on an increasingly uneven playing field, with the haves decimating the have nots.

It's nice to be getting a Mulligan on the Rose Bowl disaster from the Media. Even if it's bogus to be ranked #2, I'll take it.

I'm okay with any Ohio State fan that believes it's possible to lose without beating themselves.

He wasn't yet elite before and may not be the same after such a severe injury, but I'm hoping for the best. We really need him to be great.
