I could care less about the preseason 1-4 order…it doesn’t matter. Ohio state plays Oregon on 10/12 and Georgia plays Texas on 10/19. It’ll work itself out.
@@Ksmitty101 As a Buckeye fan as well, agreed. It'll all come out in the wash. I'll tell you one thing, tho I can't wait for the season to start. Wish FSU maybe Clemson, ND, and UNC we're joining now if they were gonna do so. Would be one of the most lit seasons/decades of college ball if that happened already.
Perceptions mean nothing. Play the games and see the results. BTW, my bold prediction is that Michigan finishes the 2024 season in 5th place in the B1G TEN. There, another opinion to ignore. hehehe
Espn will always hate on Ohio State because our influence on big ten media rights contracts which we prefer fox sports/abc. Thus the ncaa’s obsession with espn having the rights to the playoff are concerning. Espn needs to be watched closely for favoring conferences which they are financial beneficiaries of. 🧐
@@TiTosTheName23 I could have sworn that that was supposed to be renegotiated this year or next. Giving a broader range of networks chances to host it. Or was I mistaken?
@@fr0stb1ght34 I remember hearing something about that, they were supposed to offer out games to different networks. Id imagine with it being a 12 team playoff they will have to give some games to other networks.
As a Bama fan, I never want them ranked preseason #1. That always proves to be the kiss of death (a.k.a. “rat poison”) for their championship hopes. They feed off being disrespected.
@@collegefootballwithsam aint no disrespect osu is trash and constantly under achieves all ways have and will continue to this year when they find out they cant even buy a natty lmao
The real reason is they have top 5 classes every year and fall short. 1 NC in 20+ years after hearing the hype over and over and over. That’s why. They’re soft.
🤗 Fortunately we have a season to determine the correct answer. --- However - it is quite possible that unforeseen injuries could alter the reality based on their rosters. (?) A 52nd ranked schedule won't give a Big 10 experience by any means ? -- Oregon had a $945 million - 'boost' - in NIL & facilities !!! > Hard to believe 'that' won't provide an upgrade !?!? - - - Texas goes to M & OSU goes to O - so - an early indicator will be seen - yet the conclusion won't be known until the end of the season ? - - - ESPN's FPI really liked OSU last year for winning it all. -?- Yea it did ! > I remember it well. 🤔 I respect Josh Pate and Joel Klatt for 'perspective' and 'opinions' - w/o bias - and both think very highly of the Buckeyes this coming season ! Many believe adding Chip Kelly is 'huge' - especially Pate. --- The combination of > NIL use - the portal use - recruiting strength - coaching changes - resources available - and actual record - - - seem to give Ryan Day the edge in the minds of many ? --- Including mine. I agree with you Sam. OSU 'appears' to be the best or tied with Georgia as the best - on paper. - - - OSU won the 1st CFP Championship w/4 teams - and did it with their 3rd string QB as I recall - against an undefeated and Heisman winning QB !!! (42 - 20) --- I think it's only fitting they win the 1st CFP with 12 teams.
Ohio State Buckeyes!!! #1 All-time in preseason polling, preseason power rankings, preseason Conference Championships, and preseason National Championships, baby!!! And then the football starts……😏
I truly respect how you talk about Ohio State compared to other people who have your name and call themselves journalists. You don’t come on here and act like a fanboy. You get on here, and give opinions that maybe I don’t agree with, but you give your points, you do it in a honest manor, and Sam, that’s commendable. Been listening for over a year and you are awesome.
LOL, yeah. the QB leaves, they hold the best red zone offense to 0 first half. SEC fans are a joke thinking that win means anything. everyone knows OSU smokes em with that shmuck QB who left
I dont know if ohio can get through that 1st 5 game"Gauntlet" they have against Offensive(YES...offensive) Gauntlets THE ZIPS,THE Herd,West Michigan,spartacus,and the explosive hawks....The talent,speed,QB play,and athleticism will just be overwhelming.....
Oregon Linebackers are not a weakness. The only weakness on Oregon's D is at Safety and has to do with depth. Also, the SOS ranking was manipulated by the powers that be. Most of the Pac 12 was ranked last year after a perfect non-conf win record early in the season. They started dropping Pac 12 teams out of the top 25 after people started asking questions why Media giants were killing the Pac 12.
With oregon, it's hard to say a team is that good when they needed so many transfers. People make a big deal of osu's transfers but they only really brought in 2 guys to start maybe 3 if Howard wins the qb spot. Not that sold on oregon
I remember when Penn State and Nebraska joined the Big Ten. They both were regular winners against Big Ten teams before they joined, but had their stumbles afterward (Nebraska still struggles). There’s something about conference games that changes outcomes.
The stage is set for all these teams. All hyped means nothing once the season starts. The pads and the helmets will do the talking. Not flash. The stage is the grass.
Ohio State does football well. Michigan does too. Both of them impress the poop out of me. I can see the cultural differences though. When you think of Northern football the first name that comes to mind is Michigan and Ohio State is what I think an SEC school is like. I'm a Nebraska fan. Nebraska got killed at both places when I went but, it was kind of good because I got to make some friends. Heck, a guy I ran into in Ann Arbor ended up leading me to College World Series tickets. But Oregon is a wonderful addition to the conference in my mind. I went out there on my honeymoon and stopped by Eugene and Autzen for a bit. It's NICE!
This is one of the very best analyses I’ve seen ever. No joke, no supplication. Ohio State is sound everywhere. The only concern I see is pass protection. Oregon has the most to prove in my opinion, but not due to questionable game management ( Oregon’s defense is in no case clutch enough to rely on, and that unit lost the four games you mentioned more than the play calling and situational calls-if you score more than 30 points on offense and lose-your defense is the reason ) Oregon is in the best position to challenge Ohio State because they are also a pretty complete team. I don’t believe they are as awesome as Ohio State on defense, but they are going to be much better than last year. More depth up front, and a much better secondary ( which cost them all five of their losses). Texas has the same issues from 2023, though I believe QB Evers is going to play better than most assume he is capable of. Their secondary is still a weakness, and they may lack depth on the defensive line. Texas will score plenty of points, but the defense is the key. As pointed out, neither Texas or Oregon have awesome offensive firepower that matches LSU’s record setting 2019 numbers, which would be necessary to handle Ohio State’s defense. I also believe Chip Kelly will exploit Will Howard’s skillset very well. Just think of Dennis Dixon and Darron Thomas ( Oregon’s 2007 and 2010 QBs that were accurate just enough to go with their excellent running skills). Ohio State is going to average 40 points a game this year, and if Kelly learned from the 2010 title game, he’ll get 28 on elite defenses like Georgia has ( whom I believe is vulnerable against the best running teams-talent and skill wise). Elite matchups come down to mistakes. Teams close enough in talent with their opponents win by omitting mistakes and forcing the one or two mistakes necessary to win. Ohio State is best suited to meet that requirement. Ohio State ( unfortunately as an Oregon alum) should win the Natty this year.
You’re off on the Ducks linebackers. Jeffrey Bassa was all-conference with 72 tackles last year and Jestin Jacobs, a 4 star recruit who played well at Iowa, is finally healthy after being injured the last couple of years. This will be a strength on the defense.
Just because a guy doesn’t lead in tackles or make it in the top 100 doesn’t mean he’s not efficient. I’m not going to fact check but maybe all the players above him played more snaps. I’m being facetious but you get the point.
@@robschaller9061 again, Bassa was all-conference. That means he’s a pretty good player. I didn’t say he was an all-american. My point was that the linebackers are a strength on this team, not a weakness.
@@robschaller9061 I’ve checked out your comments on other threads, is that all you do is talk shit on other people’s posts? Do you have anything productive to add to these debates or are you just an angry keyboard warrior? Let me guess, you’re an Ohio st fan? 🤣
Jeffrey Bassa btw is a converted safety that is the 🎤 mic linebacker…literally! He had 42 solo tackles which would’ve been first if he was on Ohio States defense, and he had 72 total tackles which would’ve been 3rd on for the buckeyes. The point is, you favor the Big10 teams, and you just don’t understand the new flavors of ice cream the Big10 is releasing to the public in 2024. At least not as well as someone like me. All I can say is, Oregon has a better LB unit compared to the buckeyes which isn’t saying much, since 2 of the 3 are young and inexperienced, or old and injury prone, on top of being inexperienced after moving from safety. Long story short, Oregon has a great LB unit, especially since one of our red shirt sophomore who runs a 10.5 100m and runs 23mph, is figuring out the complex 4-2-5 base defense in his third year…according to players and coaches. Oregon will excel in the Big10, and you’re right, FPI isn’t the greatest, but S&P+ is…and they have Oregon’s offense as the clear number 1 in the conference…and though there defense is under a 15, it has went from 75th to 9th in scoring defense, in the first 2yrs of Dan Lanning’s tenure. And there’s no reason that it won’t make huge strides again, since it is a complex defense, and for the 3rd or 4th year ducks, it will be even better, since it relies on checks and audibles just before the offensive snap. So players really need to know it inside and out. Players need at least 2yrs in the system to really understand it, which will be 75% of the defense, if I had to make an educated guess. Let’s hope the payed assassins from the transfer portal can pick it up fast though. I know I won’t have to worry about Jabar Muhammad, since he was easily the best corner I saw in 2023 who didn’t go to the NFL And the DT positions won’t be much of an issue either, since Oregon doesn’t really ask them to rush the passer very often. The only ones I’m worried about are the CB and Safety transfers, even though the safety position is probably the least important position on the defense, according to the NFL draft. I mean you literally have the most time to see the plays develop, and you just need to keep the play in front of you. Unfortunately, Oregon does play a lot of Nickel, so that changes things, since the safety becomes the 5th corner. Anyway, I feel confident that the S&P+ is a little low for Oregons defense, since Oregon is close to, equal to, or better than, every buckeyes position group in 2024…and Oregon clearly has the better offense.
Dude you don’t know Jack about Ohio States linebackers. We have a two-year veteran at the “Mike” position who’s a 234 lb.stud. The other two are five stars, one of whom was the top player in the nation at his position coming out of high school in 2022. The other was the number 1 player in Ohio that same year and ranked in the top ten nationally. Your secondary is nowhere near the level of Ohio States’. You can yip all you want, but look at the national ratings. Ohio States 2024 defense is rated number one by everyone based on stats and returning players. As far as offense goes, if Will Howard plays QB like he can, we’re gonna’ score on you and everyone else big time.
@@jimmy5634 I was thinking about Mitchell Melton, but I didn’t realize he went from LB to DE. He was the one that I was talking about that was injury prone at LB. As far as the LB’s that remain, I think they’re good but not elite. But that can change by the end of the season. We’ll see how they do at Autzen. I’m liking that the game before Ohio state got switched to Friday, against Michigan State at Autzen…so no extra travel to wear us down…and that will give Oregon an extra day to prep for Ohio State, and the Oregon players will get to see the entire Buckeye game against Iowa, instead of just cut ups, which is really helpful for the Ducks prep. Can’t wait to see that game, since I’ve got super close season tickets this year in section 16.
@@Hawk_City I agree. Oregon has been building for this, because Lanning had a plan of building a UGA on the west coast. He helped build that UGA team for 3yrs, as one of their top recruiters, and DC. He had a vision, and he’s getting the players that will help him replicate what he had at UGA. That’s why Lanning got rid of a combined 63players in year one and two from the Cristobal recruiting classes, because he felt they weren’t up to his standards, and he has obviously elevated the recruiting into the top10 and top3, the last two classes.
WRONG. Most of Oregon starters would not start at OSU. OSU will be better than Oregon at rb , dt. de, lb, s, and cb. JJ Smith will be the best player on both teams. You are an Oregon fan but you are in over your head.
I’m a Mizzou fan and I agree with you buddy. I actually believe that OSU. Should be ranked 1 or 2, they are loaded and these other teams changing leagues has to make a difference and Tx. is getting to much hype.
Another Mizzou fan seconding the point that Ohio State is my #1 coming into the season, but I do have Georgia, Bama, Texas, and Oregon in a top teir alongside them. It's too early to differentiate the cream of the crop from one another
Injuries and the long season could play a huge factor I wouldn't be surprised if Alabama and Oregon made it to the championship game. I have huge respect for the talent and their coaches. Michigan is DONE and their arrogant fans are going to have to eat some reality humble pie this year You lose a HC and most of your coaching staff and 17 starters including 41 letterman and not have a rebuilding year
Yes, that is exactly why. I think it is still ridiculous though, the entire 11-man defense should matter more than one-player. The QB matters a ton, but you need more than just an elite QB to be an elite team.
@@collegefootballwithsamwell as an Oregon fan we have seen that statement proven wrong again and again. 2005 our QB broke his leg and we stunk after, 2007 our QB who was top in the heisman went down and our team who was #2 got shut out by a mediocre UCLA team, then 2015 we were up by 30 at half to TCU when our QB went down and TCU came all the way back. And that’s just Oregon. QB’s make a huge difference that’s why ESPN has them that weighted. There are countless other of examples. Ohio state has 2014 as an outlier maybe that’s why Ohio state fans don’t think it matters
@@johnquigley1366 they don’t think it matters because it’s a bit of a moot point in regards to OSU this year because the running game is going to be elite between the running back room and Will Howard being a great runner and Chip Kelly will always revolve his offense around the run. Teams will need to stop the run first and many of his throws will be open looks due to the RPO and he will also have better receivers than he’s ever had. He doesn’t need to make NFL throws, he only needs to be able to hit what the defense gives him.
The worst O-Line also. Less elite speed at WR than THE TIDE,Ga,Texas,and Oregon.The MOST questionmarks at TE. The most overvalued DLine. The most questions at LB. A Coach who is 1-3 in the CFP's. 0-3 vs THE SEC.And 5-8 overall vs THE TIDE,Ga,Mizzu,ND,Oregon,Michigan,Utah,+Clemson. What they do have going for them is a dogshit schedule that is a joke sans 2 outfits,and possibly 3.....
I am happy to hear ESPN say this. The hype never lives throughout the season. Don't sleep on Utah as they could end up a top 4 and are very tough at home
If preseason rankings determined the national championship, Ohio State would be far ahead of anyone else but at some point they have to play a team not from the B1G and that’s usually the end of that.
Ohio St has proven to be the only team that actually has beaten a power house Clemson, a power house Alabama , had a great team like Georgia hoping they missed the field goal, also they put 50 against Georgia. Many hate them but they really are the only threats to the bullies of the South. They also ended the Dynasty of Miami Hurricanes. Many talk crap but them and Michigan are the only o es that have beaten the power houses from down south
As far as Washington "dominating" Oregon, Oregon lost by 3 points both times. To say Washington lost to Michigan so Oregon can't compete is lazy logic. Penix had a poor game against Michigan, like he did against mid level to poor teams in the Pac 12. Arizona State held WA to 15 points are you trying to say AZ State's defense is comparable to MI? Cause I don't think you are.
I agree. I think both Oregon and texas we're better overall teams than Washington. But Washington was elite in passing. That proved to much for both Oregon and texas. The better overall teams didn't win those games
Big 10 and SEC are the most physical conferences in America..You can play great one week and be physical beat up the next week due to the physically of the style of play..
Im not sure who's better between Oregon and osu. They play each other, so we will figure that out. Will be a hell of a game. But im confused why your bringing texas into this. They play in the sec. Not b10. I think it says a lot that your bringing in a team that you won't even compete against unless you meet in the playoffs. So on this alone, I think osu
he brought them in on the premise that people are saying they are going to come in to the SEC and dominate (win SEC), like Oregon in the B1G. however, they both come from conferences lacking defense and physicality and are in for eye an opening experience like other new comers to those conferences
@ralphpeck6927 you said a few things here. You implied that the b10 and sec are the only conferences that play physically and defense. You can have that opinion. But I disagree. A lot of what determines if a conference plays physically and good defense is determined by what style of offense the conferences play. For example, 10 years ago, the big12 was a high tempo spread league. Teams avg in the 30s on offense. Big10 and sec played more in the box which made for less plays and a slower game. They avg in the 20s on offense. Now over the last 5 or so years the big10 and sec both play more high tempo offenses and the big12 plays more in the box. The big 12 has been more of a defense conference than offense. That just hasn't been the narrative for some reason. So ill break down how many physical teams that play good defense for each conference. Pac12-Oregon, Utah, Washington. (Arizona did last year and Washington not so much last year) but I was looking for more consistency. Big10- Michigan, Iowa Sec- Georgia, bama. Big12- Iowa st, Kansas st, Texas. Truth is not very many teams play good defense anymore. Most of the time is masked by the opposing offenses they go against. Secondly. The big10 nor sec have ever added good teams to there conference. This is unprecedented. The sec added mizzu and ta&m. Both middle of the road teams in the big 12. Both had early success. Big 10 added Nebraska who had already fallen off when they joined. Both Oregon and texas are playoff caliber teams. They will both compete for conference championship. But the odds for any 1 team to win their conference is slim. You would always take the field vs any 1 team on any given year. So it's not really a bold statement saying they won't win it. Because odds are they won't. But they have just as good of odds as anyone else. If your a playoff team then your a playoff team period. Doesn't matter what conference you come from. If your the 4th best team in the country then that's what you are. It's silly to say, oh your the 4th best team in the country in the pac12 or big12 but not in the sec or big 10. Just wait and see lol. Truth is the big10 and sec are going to adjust to the new conferences just as much as new schools are.
i dont see OR or TX winning their conference. OSU & GA are the clear top 2 pre season teams in the country. GA better look out in that conference.....I like OSU to win it all.
Oregon has really good linebackers idk what your talking about . That is not a weakness to be honest. Also Ohio state doesn’t have really a great case why they’re that much better than Oregon . Oregon is better at qb and the line of scrimmage while being a great defense also .
My take and opinion on Ohio States QB room is that the depth is great. The take on Will Howard could be under rated since we are comparing his KSU stats and performance. It's not proven yet what he could become at OSU, but if you look at what he had to work with there to what he gets at OSU the upside feels enormous. If he csnt get it done there aretwo gun singers right behind him in Brown and Sayin. With Chip Kelly on board the offense will showcase a better ground game with the QB threat in that. This will open up the insane WR room for bigger plays on that end. It won't be a lot of nickle and dime to go against, it will be exploiting defenses. All the QB has to do I manage, make first downs and wait for the big opportunities that will come with all that talent.
Politics/Hate... OSU is now running it's program with corporate efficiency... and a corporation like Disney (ESPN) sees that. Yes the SEC wins titles but Ohio State gets recruits NFL READY and sets them up well for that big contract AFTER the rookie deal...whereas many SEC players are fighting for a roster spot by year 3 on the leauge. 2025 recruiting rankings has OSU having more 5 stars than Bama, UGA, Clemson and USC combined. Espn sees the future and they have no control over it cause OSU is a FOX brand!

But when people go to caps and call people dumb and idiots... In the end you are just a troll...another one who hates modern day college football. So you must be calling out Oregon, Ole Miss, FSU, TxAM, Georgia, Bama, USC. It's almost like OSU is the only program that has embraced the new reality. That can't be further from the truth. They are the most prepared. Won't respond to anymore trolls.
@@jamesniday9236 I guess Miami, FSU, Oregon, UGA, TxAM, Bama and USC aren't doing the same... But it is Ohio State that is trying to buy a ship... But I'm delusional.

"Come to Ohio State and we will get U NFL ready and prepare u so that you can cash in on the second and third contracts." While SEC players are fighting for roster spots by year 3 in the NFL. The South has the weather but going to Ohio State with a coaching staff that doesn't take a back seat to anyone is a sound business choice for the next 10-plus years AFTER college.

I don’t know how you can look at Ohio States roster and say anyone is better than they are. Just the defense alone has them in a position to win every game. They had a very good defense last year and they ALL came back to accomplish great things. No other reason just because they are pissed off at themselves. No better motivation than that. They added the best safety in the country. Offense is scary good as well. They had great players return that were equally good and equally pissed = motivation. They have a new QB that has already won a conference championship with K State and a receiver corp that’s going to be the best in the country when all is said and done barring injury. They have the best RB pair in the country period and hands down. Not even a debate there. ESPN hates Ohio State so I pay no attention to them. Ohio State just needs a good season from Will Howard and they will not lose. The O Line is going to be better this year than last and they were good last year. Could be great with another year together.
OSU always best there self when losing games & if they don’t do that which looks like they have made the necessary adjustments in the off season OC was the most important without a doubt, but they got a new AD, President OSU is going absolutely crazy
Oregon is grossly overrated coming into this year, they lost a Heisman finalist and they’re top WR and we’re just gonna assume they’re going to plug n play into a vastly tougher conference and win it although they couldn’t do it at all in the pac 12, people need to pump the breaks and reassess the reality
Theres always a surprise team with a breakout player. There are always injuries, bad bounces, and other freakish goings on. Despite the rapidly changing parameters college football is is still king in my sports world.
Oregon will show Ohio state that they are better and they will be dominant in big ten. Ohio state and Oregon have similar level rosters but Oregon has the better qb. I think Oregon and Ohio state will better than Texas. It honestly doesn’t matter Georgia , Oregon, Ohio state , and Texas are the best 4 teams no matter the order .
I think because both Ohio State and Michigan have very notable questions on the offensive side of the ball Oregon will go 12-0 beating Ohio State at home but then losing to Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game(OSU goes 11-1) and Michigan goes 10-2 and at most gets to the second round of the CFP
Thank you Sam. Oregon under Dan Lanning and Texas under steve Sarkasian haven't won a playoff game. Ryan Day has. Also Texas and Oklahoma have failed as Big 12 anchors not winning any playoff games while Ohio State has won.
I think the more I look at Oregon, the more their team on both sides of the ball scare me. We also have to go across the country to play them. TBH, I think we drop that game.. it’ll be like a 27-24 game. But I think it’ll be good for Ohio state to lose a game before the Michigan game/ playoff
Just like ESPN this is your opinion and everyone is entitled to one. It’ll all work out with Ohio State and Oregon playing along with Texas and Georgia. Just sit back and relax
You're high on 2 of those 4 takes, The only two I'll give to Oregon would be the O-line and QB, there's no way Oregon has a better WR or RB room than OSU.
@@kgrainz6265 Oregon is not a better team lol. Ohio State has more talent overall. Better defense, better rb’s, better wr’s, better coaching staff. Oregon only has a better qb and maybe oline, that’s it
I watched several different spring scrimmages, including ohio state. I agree with your statement but a good defense can definitely help when the offensive production is down. A great defense can offset poor offensive production. Those defensive backs look off the chart elite. I have no doubt they will create extra offensive opportunities and points.
I think Oregon beats Ohio State in a nail biter during the regular season, and I'm A Buckeye fan. Autzen is a tough place to play, and jet lag is a thing. Then Ohio State will destroy Oregon in the B1G Championship. If they meet in the playoffs, Ohio State wins again, but in a much closer game. As far as Texas goes, they have the best QB in the country. However, Ohio State has better RBs, WRs, DL, and DBs. LB is probably a push. OL most likely goes to Texas. TE goes to the Horns as well. Defense and running decide big games. If they meet in the playoffs, Ohio State handles Texas.
No you got it wrong, the Ducks have the talent and the coaches to contend with any one, and Ohio state doesn't outclass the Ducks in any way. Sometimes you have to read between the lines.
@@thomasorzack5795 but that was before Michigan was a quality team and almost beating isn’t beating. And didn’t he lose to a 2021 trash Oregon team when he had cj stroud and Marvin Harrison jr. now osu has worse qb and wr and Oregon has gotten better and Michigan is osu daddy so osu goes 10-2
@@JajsnsjsnThat was before mIchigan was a quality team lol. Ohio State smoked Fishigan 56-27 at the mid house in Ryan Day’s 1st year lol. I don’t even want to act like Fishigan fans but I’ll go that route. They had to cheat to win, out of this 3 game losing streak only 1 was a legit loss. You see what happens when they don’t get to cheat, they barely win at home with OSU’s worse qb in a long time and he was the difference in the game in 2023. But I’ll give Fishigan 1 win if they didnt cheat and that’s probably 2021. We know OSU wouldn’ve smoked Fishigan in 2020 and Hairball gets wacked. That would’ve been 9 straight losses, it’s hard to beat a rival 10 straight games and Fishigan would’ve been due for a win so I’ll give them 2021. Oregon beat OSU in 2021 with a young CJ Stroud and OSU had a defensive coordinator that had no business having that job, we know if they had played later that year with Stroud’s more experience they smoke Oregon. 2021 Fishigan gets blasted by Georgia and can’t beat TCU in 2022, OSU would’ve blasted them, but OSU has bad luck with Georgia. OSU bad luck again with an offensive lineman tripping and allowing Fishigan’s d lineman to make a play to cause an int. If OSU wins that game they would’ve became national champions. The cheaters can get credit for winning without Connor but they still cheated for 2 plus seasons and that will never be negated. You know in your heart OSU is beating Fishigan next game and it’s will be by the very least 2 td’s. For all of the talk by Fishigan and their fans Ryan Day may run up the score to an extent lol. Ohio State is winning the natty, going undefeated or maybe just 1 loss at Oregon, and that’s a big maybe but OSU wins the rematch in the Big 18 title game. Fishigan on the the other steps back like James Harden with at the very least 3 losses to Texas, Oregon, and OSU. They might lose to USC and even could drop an unexpected game. Best case I see for them is 3 losses and worse case is 5 losses including the postseason. OSU is going 16-0 or 15-1 as national champs and look at it as that being good for the Big 18 with consecutive national champs and that takes away from the SEC’s dominance. We still have to wait and see what the ncaa does to Fishigan eventually though. OSU is starting another win streak against Fishigan and this is the beginning of a national dynasty. This isnt the same as past years and it’s especiaaly cause all of the players coming back, transfer pick ups, and coaching additions while Fishigan lost all of those upperclassmen to graduation and the draft, new coaching staff, doesnt recruit at a top 10 level and that’s what’s needed to sustain similar success. They have some key returns on defense but that’s not enough. They enjoyed their little 3 year run but now it’s over and back to minimum 3 loss seasons lol
@@kevinchavis8462 didn’t Michigan win the national championship last year and didn’t osu lose to Missouri. Also genuine question but is ksu qb really going to be osu starter cuz if that the case Dillion Gabriel going to wreck osu like Michigan did last year.
@@Jajsnsjsn I clearly said Michigan won without Connor. That has nothing to do with this upcoming season, pay attention to what has transpired this offseason. I have explained this to many casuals, OsU did did lose to Missouri, only casuals and trolls take stock in that game. OSU was without Marv and their another top 3 wr. Without 2 of their top 3 rb’s. True freshman 3rd string qb takes over early in the game due to the 2nd string qb getting hurt after Kyle Mccord transfers before the game. Starting Center out and the rest of the oline was reshuffled. Out their top 2 linebackers. When Missouri sees a reshuffled oline with a true freshman 3rd string qb with no significant snaps all season Missouri stacks the box to help limit OSU’s run game and brings constant pressure on run and pass plays. Missouri had all of their stars except just 2 defensive starters. It’s a non playoff game so really it doesn’t matter, it’s just bragging rights and I still would’ve said that if OSU won, especially when teams aren’t even close to full strength. That’s why I don’t put stock in that Gerogia/Florida St bowl game. If any other top team had the exact same circumstances as OSU against Missouri, that team loses to Missouri too. The same Missouri team that played the true best or 2nd best team in Georgia at Georgia’s stadium real tough. While both teams were near full strength. That game came down to the final 5 minutes. If OSU has some of their players available, especially one of their top 2 qb’s, OSU beats Missouri. Will Howard proved he can lead a team a Big 12 championship and beat the national runner up TCU in the conference championship game. That was with him playing with a far less talented team than OSU. At OSU Howard is an experienced qb, playing with way more talent, being coached by one of the best qb developers in the game, playing in a mobile qb friendly system under Chip Kelly while blending in the passing concepts from one of the best play callers in Ryan Day. OSU has the best rb duo and a top 3 wr unit if not the best to mesh with Howard. Plus OSU will have the best defense which be an historic unit which takes pressure off of what will be one of the best offenses which will be a balanced attack. If not Howard, OSU has a deep qb room. None have to be what OSU has had in the past with being a top qb, just good enough and Howard or any other will be that. I don’t think Howard will be the no 1 qb in all of college football but it’s not like that’s impossible, but I do see him being improved and being one of the best qb’s in the game, doesn’t need to be a top heisman candidate but I think he will be one of the best qb’s, if not he’ll still be good enough and that’s definitely enough for a national title in which OSU accomplishes that goal. Then the recruiting floodgates get even bigger and that’s scary hours for everyone else. Even if OSU loses to Oregon in which I don’t think so but it is a possibility, it will be a close tough game if Oregon wins. OSU’s defense is too good to be wrecked by Dillion and Oregon’s offense. OSU has a better chance at wrecking them than the other way around but I think it will be a tough game for both. If Oregon wins or not OSU beats them in a rematch in the Big 18 title game on a neutral field.
@@reginaldeberhart8521 there’s 9 more excuses just because your recruit high doesn’t field a good team example Texas a&m meaning coaching is the issue but he still has made better moves this offseason
Day already has beat them and would’ve had 2 wins if not for Fishigan backing out in 2020. Last game was the only legit loss to them and that was barely a win at home against OSU’s worse qb and team in a good while, we’re not sweeping the cheating under the rug like many try to do
Everyone does it hell osu was 7th in the transfer portal they spent most money retaining seniors not the other way around! Meaning 6 other teams dropped bigger bags in the portal mainly OREGON
Sark is a better coach than Ryan day. You want to talk about sarks first two season? Brother he was handed a dumpster fire of a program what was Ryan day handed? Yeah a program that was already elite so you can’t take your sark slander and shove it. Ryan day is the biggest underperforming coach that’s why you’re using a game in 2020 to justify why he’s better lmao
How so? The center position was rated extremely low by PFF last season, and despite the tackles receiving high ratings that was the worst Ohio State pass-blocking OL (and run-blocking OL) in the entire Day era. Simmons is highly penalized, Fryar might be a better fit at guard, and Donovan Jackson is the most talented player on that OL by NFL projections, and is only behind Fryar in PFF player rankings. Given that Montgomery could play at guard and either Hinzman or McLaughlin will play at RG along with Jackson at LG, the interior of the OL could be very good, particularly at run blocking. Also, this unit is extremely thin across the board as they are about as young or slightly younger compared to Michigan, despite losing 5 less players to the draft.

I could care less about the preseason 1-4 order…it doesn’t matter. Ohio state plays Oregon on 10/12 and Georgia plays Texas on 10/19. It’ll work itself out.
I’m a buckeye fan and TOTALLY Agree
@@Ksmitty101 As a Buckeye fan as well, agreed. It'll all come out in the wash. I'll tell you one thing, tho I can't wait for the season to start. Wish FSU maybe Clemson, ND, and UNC we're joining now if they were gonna do so. Would be one of the most lit seasons/decades of college ball if that happened already.
Perceptions mean nothing. Play the games and see the results. BTW, my bold prediction is that Michigan finishes the 2024 season in 5th place in the B1G TEN. There, another opinion to ignore. hehehe
The loser of those games is still in the hunt for a play off spot
Facts, as a ducks fan they have to prove they can live up to the hype
Espn will always hate on Ohio State because our influence on big ten media rights contracts which we prefer fox sports/abc. Thus the ncaa’s obsession with espn having the rights to the playoff are concerning. Espn needs to be watched closely for favoring conferences which they are financial beneficiaries of. 🧐
fax, espn always in for the money
Still crazy to me that the playoff is held by ESPN. Seems like a definite conflict of interest.
@@TiTosTheName23 I could have sworn that that was supposed to be renegotiated this year or next. Giving a broader range of networks chances to host it. Or was I mistaken?
@@fr0stb1ght34 Nope no ESPN games this year for the Bucks
@@fr0stb1ght34 I remember hearing something about that, they were supposed to offer out games to different networks. Id imagine with it being a 12 team playoff they will have to give some games to other networks.

Everyone is in love with the sec and in my opinion. The big ten is about to take over college football with saban gone.
As a Bama fan, I never want them ranked preseason #1. That always proves to be the kiss of death (a.k.a. “rat poison”) for their championship hopes. They feed off being disrespected.
It was so sweet to see Michigan ranked No.2 or No.3 for all of last season until the Rose Bowl. I think Ohio State will feed off of the "disrespect".
@@collegefootballwithsam aint no disrespect osu is trash and constantly under achieves all ways have and will continue to this year when they find out they cant even buy a natty lmao
OSU finally not winning a conference championship every year for the last 3 years so people want to count them out & loving it

That’s why. They’re soft.

🤗 Fortunately we have a season to determine the correct answer. --- However - it is quite possible that unforeseen injuries could alter the reality based on their rosters. (?)

I dont put much stock in that Mizzou game for OSU.
Me neither but trolls love it

I dont know if ohio can get through that 1st 5 game"Gauntlet" they have against Offensive(YES...offensive) Gauntlets THE ZIPS,THE Herd,West Michigan,spartacus,and the explosive hawks....The talent,speed,QB play,and athleticism will just be overwhelming.....
yeah it will get handled on the field osu choking as usual
Oregon Linebackers are not a weakness. The only weakness on Oregon's D is at Safety and has to do with depth. Also, the SOS ranking was manipulated by the powers that be. Most of the Pac 12 was ranked last year after a perfect non-conf win record early in the season. They started dropping Pac 12 teams out of the top 25 after people started asking questions why Media giants were killing the Pac 12.
With oregon, it's hard to say a team is that good when they needed so many transfers. People make a big deal of osu's transfers but they only really brought in 2 guys to start maybe 3 if Howard wins the qb spot. Not that sold on oregon
I remember when Penn State and Nebraska joined the Big Ten. They both were regular winners against Big Ten teams before they joined, but had their stumbles afterward (Nebraska still struggles). There’s something about conference games that changes outcomes.
Not sure about Penn state before they joined. But Nebraska was already headed down when they joined the big10.
The stage is set for all these teams. All hyped means nothing once the season starts. The pads and the helmets will do the talking. Not flash. The stage is the grass.
Ohio State does football well. Michigan does too. Both of them impress the poop out of me. I can see the cultural differences though. When you think of Northern football the first name that comes to mind is Michigan and Ohio State is what I think an SEC school is like. I'm a Nebraska fan. Nebraska got killed at both places when I went but, it was kind of good because I got to make some friends. Heck, a guy I ran into in Ann Arbor ended up leading me to College World Series tickets. But Oregon is a wonderful addition to the conference in my mind. I went out there on my honeymoon and stopped by Eugene and Autzen for a bit. It's NICE!
As a Ducks fan I’d rather be overlooked.
That’s not hard to do.
Wolverine here
Same 👍
The Ducks are being talked about as if they are in the middle of Alabama Saban dynasty before doing anything. Oregon is not under the radar.
@@dustin9181 welcome to the B1G. Pat no attention to the perpetual whiners in the conference. 💙 💛〽️
I’m good with osu being ranked that high and believing their own hype. Every year they are offseason champions. Let that nut keep rolling.
No they are not. You are just a hater
This is one of the very best analyses I’ve seen ever. No joke, no supplication. Ohio State is sound everywhere. The only concern I see is pass protection.
Oregon has the most to prove in my opinion, but not due to questionable game management ( Oregon’s defense is in no case clutch enough to rely on, and that unit lost the four games you mentioned more than the play calling and situational calls-if you score more than 30 points on offense and lose-your defense is the reason )
Oregon is in the best position to challenge Ohio State because they are also a pretty complete team. I don’t believe they are as awesome as Ohio State on defense, but they are going to be much better than last year. More depth up front, and a much better secondary ( which cost them all five of their losses).
Texas has the same issues from 2023, though I believe QB Evers is going to play better than most assume he is capable of. Their secondary is still a weakness, and they may lack depth on the defensive line. Texas will score plenty of points, but the defense is the key. As pointed out, neither Texas or Oregon have awesome offensive firepower that matches LSU’s record setting 2019 numbers, which would be necessary to handle Ohio State’s defense.
I also believe Chip Kelly will exploit Will Howard’s skillset very well. Just think of Dennis Dixon and Darron Thomas ( Oregon’s 2007 and 2010 QBs that were accurate just enough to go with their excellent running skills). Ohio State is going to average 40 points a game this year, and if Kelly learned from the 2010 title game, he’ll get 28 on elite defenses like Georgia has ( whom I believe is vulnerable against the best running teams-talent and skill wise).
Elite matchups come down to mistakes. Teams close enough in talent with their opponents win by omitting mistakes and forcing the one or two mistakes necessary to win. Ohio State is best suited to meet that requirement. Ohio State ( unfortunately as an Oregon alum) should win the Natty this year.
You’re off on the Ducks linebackers. Jeffrey Bassa was all-conference with 72 tackles last year and Jestin Jacobs, a 4 star recruit who played well at Iowa, is finally healthy after being injured the last couple of years. This will be a strength on the defense.
You realize that 72 tackles isnt even top 100 from last year right? If that is a strength you all are in for a rude awakening
Just because a guy doesn’t lead in tackles or make it in the top 100 doesn’t mean he’s not efficient. I’m not going to fact check but maybe all the players above him played more snaps. I’m being facetious but you get the point.
@@robschaller9061 again, Bassa was all-conference. That means he’s a pretty good player. I didn’t say he was an all-american. My point was that the linebackers are a strength on this team, not a weakness.
@@robschaller9061 I’ve checked out your comments on other threads, is that all you do is talk shit on other people’s posts? Do you have anything productive to add to these debates or are you just an angry keyboard warrior? Let me guess, you’re an Ohio st fan? 🤣
Y’all defense couldn’t beat Oregon and you think you all of a sudden you got cats in the trenches?
Jeffrey Bassa btw is a converted safety that is the 🎤 mic linebacker…literally! He had 42 solo tackles which would’ve been first if he was on Ohio States defense, and he had 72 total tackles which would’ve been 3rd on for the buckeyes. The point is, you favor the Big10 teams, and you just don’t understand the new flavors of ice cream the Big10 is releasing to the public in 2024. At least not as well as someone like me. All I can say is, Oregon has a better LB unit compared to the buckeyes which isn’t saying much, since 2 of the 3 are young and inexperienced, or old and injury prone, on top of being inexperienced after moving from safety.
Long story short, Oregon has a great LB unit, especially since one of our red shirt sophomore who runs a 10.5 100m and runs 23mph, is figuring out the complex 4-2-5 base defense in his third year…according to players and coaches.
Oregon will excel in the Big10, and you’re right, FPI isn’t the greatest, but S&P+ is…and they have Oregon’s offense as the clear number 1 in the conference…and though there defense is under a 15, it has went from 75th to 9th in scoring defense, in the first 2yrs of Dan Lanning’s tenure. And there’s no reason that it won’t make huge strides again, since it is a complex defense, and for the 3rd or 4th year ducks, it will be even better, since it relies on checks and audibles just before the offensive snap. So players really need to know it inside and out. Players need at least 2yrs in the system to really understand it, which will be 75% of the defense, if I had to make an educated guess. Let’s hope the payed assassins from the transfer portal can pick it up fast though. I know I won’t have to worry about Jabar Muhammad, since he was easily the best corner I saw in 2023 who didn’t go to the NFL And the DT positions won’t be much of an issue either, since Oregon doesn’t really ask them to rush the passer very often. The only ones I’m worried about are the CB and Safety transfers, even though the safety position is probably the least important position on the defense, according to the NFL draft. I mean you literally have the most time to see the plays develop, and you just need to keep the play in front of you. Unfortunately, Oregon does play a lot of Nickel, so that changes things, since the safety becomes the 5th corner.
Anyway, I feel confident that the S&P+ is a little low for Oregons defense, since Oregon is close to, equal to, or better than, every buckeyes position group in 2024…and Oregon clearly has the better offense.
Dude you don’t know Jack about Ohio States linebackers. We have a two-year veteran at the “Mike” position who’s a 234 lb.stud. The other two are five stars, one of whom was the top player in the nation at his position coming out of high school in 2022. The other was the number 1 player in Ohio that same year and ranked in the top ten nationally.
Your secondary is nowhere near the level of Ohio States’. You can yip all you want, but look at the national ratings. Ohio States 2024 defense is rated number one by everyone based on stats and returning players.
As far as offense goes, if Will Howard plays QB like he can, we’re gonna’ score on you and everyone else big time.
Oregon plays in soft pac 12. Soft play doesn’t slide in B1G look at 2021 ohio state.
@@jimmy5634 I was thinking about Mitchell Melton, but I didn’t realize he went from LB to DE. He was the one that I was talking about that was injury prone at LB.
As far as the LB’s that remain, I think they’re good but not elite. But that can change by the end of the season. We’ll see how they do at Autzen. I’m liking that the game before Ohio state got switched to Friday, against Michigan State at Autzen…so no extra travel to wear us down…and that will give Oregon an extra day to prep for Ohio State, and the Oregon players will get to see the entire Buckeye game against Iowa, instead of just cut ups, which is really helpful for the Ducks prep.
Can’t wait to see that game, since I’ve got super close season tickets this year in section 16.
@@Hawk_City I agree. Oregon has been building for this, because Lanning had a plan of building a UGA on the west coast. He helped build that UGA team for 3yrs, as one of their top recruiters, and DC. He had a vision, and he’s getting the players that will help him replicate what he had at UGA.
That’s why Lanning got rid of a combined 63players in year one and two from the Cristobal recruiting classes, because he felt they weren’t up to his standards, and he has obviously elevated the recruiting into the top10 and top3, the last two classes.
WRONG. Most of Oregon starters would not start at OSU. OSU will be better than Oregon at rb , dt. de, lb, s, and cb. JJ Smith will be the best player on both teams. You are an Oregon fan but you are in over your head.
I’m a Mizzou fan and I agree with you buddy. I actually believe that OSU. Should be ranked 1 or 2, they are loaded and these other teams changing leagues has to make a difference and Tx. is getting to much hype.
Another Mizzou fan seconding the point that Ohio State is my #1 coming into the season, but I do have Georgia, Bama, Texas, and Oregon in a top teir alongside them. It's too early to differentiate the cream of the crop from one another
Injuries and the long season could play a huge factor
I wouldn't be surprised if Alabama and Oregon made it to the championship game. I have huge respect for the talent and their coaches. Michigan is DONE and their arrogant fans are going to have to eat some reality humble pie this year
You lose a HC and most of your coaching staff and 17 starters including 41 letterman and not have a rebuilding year
oregon and texas havent been on ohio states level in about 40 to 60 years
FPI puts a lot of weight on the QB. Ohio State has the worst QB in the top 5. That's why FPI had them lower.
And Oregon plays OSU at home
Yes, that is exactly why. I think it is still ridiculous though, the entire 11-man defense should matter more than one-player. The QB matters a ton, but you need more than just an elite QB to be an elite team.
@@collegefootballwithsamwell as an Oregon fan we have seen that statement proven wrong again and again. 2005 our QB broke his leg and we stunk after, 2007 our QB who was top in the heisman went down and our team who was #2 got shut out by a mediocre UCLA team, then 2015 we were up by 30 at half to TCU when our QB went down and TCU came all the way back. And that’s just Oregon. QB’s make a huge difference that’s why ESPN has them that weighted. There are countless other of examples. Ohio state has 2014 as an outlier maybe that’s why Ohio state fans don’t think it matters
@@johnquigley1366 they don’t think it matters because it’s a bit of a moot point in regards to OSU this year because the running game is going to be elite between the running back room and Will Howard being a great runner and Chip Kelly will always revolve his offense around the run. Teams will need to stop the run first and many of his throws will be open looks due to the RPO and he will also have better receivers than he’s ever had. He doesn’t need to make NFL throws, he only needs to be able to hit what the defense gives him.
The worst O-Line also. Less elite speed at WR than THE TIDE,Ga,Texas,and Oregon.The MOST questionmarks at TE. The most overvalued DLine. The most questions at LB. A Coach who is 1-3 in the CFP's. 0-3 vs THE SEC.And 5-8 overall vs THE TIDE,Ga,Mizzu,ND,Oregon,Michigan,Utah,+Clemson.
What they do have going for them is a dogshit schedule that is a joke sans 2 outfits,and possibly 3.....
I am happy to hear ESPN say this. The hype never lives throughout the season. Don't sleep on Utah as they could end up a top 4 and are very tough at home
If preseason rankings determined the national championship, Ohio State would be far ahead of anyone else but at some point they have to play a team not from the B1G and that’s usually the end of that.
Ohio St has proven to be the only team that actually has beaten a power house Clemson, a power house Alabama , had a great team like Georgia hoping they missed the field goal, also they put 50 against Georgia. Many hate them but they really are the only threats to the bullies of the South. They also ended the Dynasty of Miami Hurricanes. Many talk crap but them and Michigan are the only o es that have beaten the power houses from down south
As far as Washington "dominating" Oregon, Oregon lost by 3 points both times. To say Washington lost to Michigan so Oregon can't compete is lazy logic. Penix had a poor game against Michigan, like he did against mid level to poor teams in the Pac 12. Arizona State held WA to 15 points are you trying to say AZ State's defense is comparable to MI? Cause I don't think you are.
I agree. I think both Oregon and texas we're better overall teams than Washington. But Washington was elite in passing. That proved to much for both Oregon and texas. The better overall teams didn't win those games
Big 10 and SEC are the most physical conferences in America..You can play great one week and be physical beat up the next week due to the physically of the style of play..
Im not sure who's better between Oregon and osu. They play each other, so we will figure that out. Will be a hell of a game. But im confused why your bringing texas into this. They play in the sec. Not b10. I think it says a lot that your bringing in a team that you won't even compete against unless you meet in the playoffs. So on this alone, I think osu
Only I Texas fan will say that😂
he brought them in on the premise that people are saying they are going to come in to the SEC and dominate (win SEC), like Oregon in the B1G. however, they both come from conferences lacking defense and physicality and are in for eye an opening experience like other new comers to those conferences
@ralphpeck6927 you said a few things here. You implied that the b10 and sec are the only conferences that play physically and defense. You can have that opinion. But I disagree. A lot of what determines if a conference plays physically and good defense is determined by what style of offense the conferences play. For example, 10 years ago, the big12 was a high tempo spread league. Teams avg in the 30s on offense. Big10 and sec played more in the box which made for less plays and a slower game. They avg in the 20s on offense. Now over the last 5 or so years the big10 and sec both play more high tempo offenses and the big12 plays more in the box. The big 12 has been more of a defense conference than offense. That just hasn't been the narrative for some reason. So ill break down how many physical teams that play good defense for each conference. Pac12-Oregon, Utah, Washington. (Arizona did last year and Washington not so much last year) but I was looking for more consistency. Big10- Michigan, Iowa
Sec- Georgia, bama. Big12- Iowa st, Kansas st, Texas. Truth is not very many teams play good defense anymore. Most of the time is masked by the opposing offenses they go against.
Secondly. The big10 nor sec have ever added good teams to there conference. This is unprecedented. The sec added mizzu and ta&m. Both middle of the road teams in the big 12. Both had early success. Big 10 added Nebraska who had already fallen off when they joined. Both Oregon and texas are playoff caliber teams. They will both compete for conference championship. But the odds for any 1 team to win their conference is slim. You would always take the field vs any 1 team on any given year. So it's not really a bold statement saying they won't win it. Because odds are they won't. But they have just as good of odds as anyone else.
If your a playoff team then your a playoff team period. Doesn't matter what conference you come from. If your the 4th best team in the country then that's what you are. It's silly to say, oh your the 4th best team in the country in the pac12 or big12 but not in the sec or big 10. Just wait and see lol. Truth is the big10 and sec are going to adjust to the new conferences just as much as new schools are.
i dont see OR or TX winning their conference. OSU & GA are the clear top 2 pre season teams in the country. GA better look out in that conference.....I like OSU to win it all.
Oregon has really good linebackers idk what your talking about . That is not a weakness to be honest. Also Ohio state doesn’t have really a great case why they’re that much better than Oregon . Oregon is better at qb and the line of scrimmage while being a great defense also .
That sounds like the makings of a heck of a game coming up this fall. Go Bucks!
My take and opinion on Ohio States QB room is that the depth is great.
The take on Will Howard could be under rated since we are comparing his KSU stats and performance. It's not proven yet what he could become at OSU, but if you look at what he had to work with there to what he gets at OSU the upside feels enormous. If he csnt get it done there aretwo gun singers right behind him in Brown and Sayin.
With Chip Kelly on board the offense will showcase a better ground game with the QB threat in that. This will open up the insane WR room for bigger plays on that end. It won't be a lot of nickle and dime to go against, it will be exploiting defenses. All the QB has to do I manage, make first downs and wait for the big opportunities that will come with all that talent.
Politics/Hate...
OSU is now running it's program with corporate efficiency... and a corporation like Disney (ESPN) sees that.
Yes the SEC wins titles but Ohio State gets recruits NFL READY and sets them up well for that big contract AFTER the rookie deal...whereas many SEC players are fighting for a roster spot by year 3 on the leauge.
2025 recruiting rankings has OSU having more 5 stars than Bama, UGA, Clemson and USC combined.
Espn sees the future and they have no control over it cause OSU is a FOX brand!
Translation:
*ohio is trying to buy a Ring. IT does NOT work..
*THE TIDE has 75 ex players in the NFL..ohio?...lol....THE SEC had 372 ex-players in the NFL last season....369 the year before...
*Delusional ohio HOMERS "Star-Gaze" worse than anyone.
@jamesniday9236 ...check out the last 10 years of who was rookie of the year and how many were from one program.
Your dumb
Where THE NIL exist, it did not 8 years ago, so what was the reason then?
And you better believe that is a recruiting tool. 'Come to Ohio State and your development will be second to none and get u NFL ready and get you prepared for the huge second and 3rd contracts.'
Contrast... my favorite NFL team drafts it's share of SEC players...we didn't get Amarie Cooper or Percey Harvin... many Bama players where fighting for roster spots by year 3.
But when people go to caps and call people dumb and idiots...
In the end you are just a troll...another one who hates modern day college football.
So you must be calling out Oregon, Ole Miss, FSU, TxAM, Georgia, Bama, USC.
It's almost like OSU is the only program that has embraced the new reality. That can't be further from the truth.
They are the most prepared.
Won't respond to anymore trolls.
@@jamesniday9236 I guess Miami, FSU, Oregon, UGA, TxAM, Bama and USC aren't doing the same...
But it is Ohio State that is trying to buy a ship...
But I'm delusional. Ohio State has more NFL Rookie of the Year winners over the past decade and it's a recruiting tool. "Come to Ohio State and we will get U NFL ready and prepare u so that you can cash in on the second and third contracts."
While SEC players are fighting for roster spots by year 3 in the NFL. The South has the weather but going to Ohio State with a coaching staff that doesn't take a back seat to anyone is a sound business choice for the next 10-plus years AFTER college.
Also, my favorite NFL team drafts its share of SEC talent and by their 3rd season they are fighting for a roster spot and trade bait
Ohio State players conversely are about to get PAID.
I'm a grandfather... too old to be delusional.

Best of these three teams? Ohio State. Then Oregon. Third is Texas.
As a UM fan I know Texas lost a RB & a cpl. WRs but their O line is supposed to be stacked and ewers will have a big yr. But I can see them losing 2 games. Oregon is the team that scares me. Gabriel will be 1 of the top and in the country and they are loaded at all positions & I give them the edge over ish because imho I think lanning is a better coach than day
What makes you think that ? 0 Pac12 titles and no big wins for Lanning. Ryan Day 1st 2 years 2 conference titles 2 playoffs 1 national championship game . No comparison!

I know it sucks that you have top 5 classes every year and have nothing to show for it.
Michigan showed you how it’s done. 🏆
I don’t know how you can look at Ohio States roster and say anyone is better than they are. Just the defense alone has them in a position to win every game. They had a very good defense last year and they ALL came back to accomplish great things. No other reason just because they are pissed off at themselves. No better motivation than that. They added the best safety in the country. Offense is scary good as well. They had great players return that were equally good and equally pissed = motivation. They have a new QB that has already won a conference championship with K State and a receiver corp that’s going to be the best in the country when all is said and done barring injury. They have the best RB pair in the country period and hands down. Not even a debate there. ESPN hates Ohio State so I pay no attention to them. Ohio State just needs a good season from Will Howard and they will not lose. The O Line is going to be better this year than last and they were good last year. Could be great with another year together.
There are some assistant coaches at Ohio State that think Jeremiah Smith is going to be the best receiver in college football this season.
OSU always best there self when losing games & if they don’t do that which looks like they have made the necessary adjustments in the off season OC was the most important without a doubt, but they got a new AD, President OSU is going absolutely crazy
Oregon is grossly overrated coming into this year, they lost a Heisman finalist and they’re top WR and we’re just gonna assume they’re going to plug n play into a vastly tougher conference and win it although they couldn’t do it at all in the pac 12, people need to pump the breaks and reassess the reality
Theres always a surprise team with a breakout player. There are always injuries, bad bounces, and other freakish goings on. Despite the rapidly changing parameters college football is is still king in my sports world.
Oregon will show Ohio state that they are better and they will be dominant in big ten. Ohio state and Oregon have similar level rosters but Oregon has the better qb. I think Oregon and Ohio state will better than Texas. It honestly doesn’t matter Georgia , Oregon, Ohio state , and Texas are the best 4 teams no matter the order .
Based on how both teams look on the field at this point in the season, it's obvious ESPN was wrong. At least to get to Oregon anyway.
I think because both Ohio State and Michigan have very notable questions on the offensive side of the ball Oregon will go 12-0 beating Ohio State at home but then losing to Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game(OSU goes 11-1) and Michigan goes 10-2 and at most gets to the second round of the CFP
Michigan is the Big10 and National Champions until they are not.
Michigan are cheating champs until they are not
Ohio State Buckeyes will be 12-0 not 11-1 The ducks are going get beat by us 🤫🤫🤫
Thank you Sam. Oregon under Dan Lanning and Texas under steve Sarkasian haven't won a playoff game. Ryan Day has. Also Texas and Oklahoma have failed as Big 12 anchors not winning any playoff games while Ohio State has won.
Under Day?
I think the more I look at Oregon, the more their team on both sides of the ball scare me. We also have to go across the country to play them. TBH, I think we drop that game.. it’ll be like a 27-24 game. But I think it’ll be good for Ohio state to lose a game before the Michigan game/ playoff
Ohio might have a better team, at least on paper. But one things for sure, they aren't outclassing anyone.
Preseason predictions are just for conversion. They really mean nothing. The end of football season is what really counts.
GO DUCKS 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
Sam does a good job of covering college football because he can put his fandom aside. More professional than that clown desmond.
Just like ESPN this is your opinion and everyone is entitled to one.
It’ll all work out with Ohio State and Oregon playing along with Texas and Georgia. Just sit back and relax
OSU Beats Oregon OSU Has Better FPI Rating than Oregon Texas and Michigan
Oregon has a better O-line than Ohio State. Oregon has a better WR room. Oregon has a better QB. Oregon has a top-10 RB one-two.
We'll see.
Lies
You're high on 2 of those 4 takes, The only two I'll give to Oregon would be the O-line and QB, there's no way Oregon has a better WR or RB room than OSU.
Ohio State Buckeyes is better
OSU has the 2 best RB duo in college football, WR room is stacked, not even close on those 2. OSU has no. 1 ranked defense.
Georgia is the best team in the country, Ohio State is right there with them, both are in a tier of their own. Then there is everyone else.
We'll see...
I’m a Mizzou fan and in my opinion OSU is better than these teams. I have a ton of respect for that defense.
Dillon Gabriel is worlds better than Will Howard. Qb play is always 🔥
Even if he is better it’s not world’s better and OSU is the better team
@@kevinchavis8462Oregon arguably has a better team
@@kgrainz6265 Oregon is not a better team lol. Ohio State has more talent overall. Better defense, better rb’s, better wr’s, better coaching staff. Oregon only has a better qb and maybe oline, that’s it
QB play and oline can derail OSU. I’ll have to see how that shapes up first
I watched several different spring scrimmages, including ohio state. I agree with your statement but a good defense can definitely help when the offensive production is down. A great defense can offset poor offensive production. Those defensive backs look off the chart elite. I have no doubt they will create extra offensive opportunities and points.
I think Oregon beats Ohio State in a nail biter during the regular season, and I'm A Buckeye fan. Autzen is a tough place to play, and jet lag is a thing. Then Ohio State will destroy Oregon in the B1G Championship. If they meet in the playoffs, Ohio State wins again, but in a much closer game.
As far as Texas goes, they have the best QB in the country. However, Ohio State has better RBs, WRs, DL, and DBs. LB is probably a push. OL most likely goes to Texas. TE goes to the Horns as well. Defense and running decide big games. If they meet in the playoffs, Ohio State handles Texas.
The way I see it Georgia's roster is #1, Texas OSU and Oregon are all #2
Ohio State is always better than everybody every preseason, BUT....end of story.
It will be OSU and Texas playing for national championship...
OFF: Oregon, Texas, Ohio st
DEF: Ohio st, Oregon, Texas
Conclusion Oregon is the winner!
There’s more to offense than qb. And Ohio states defense is miles ahead of the other 2
@@eric50gobucksits closer than you think
I think Oregon or Ohio State could each be the best out of the three, but Texas is clearly third.

No you got it wrong, the Ducks have the talent and the coaches to contend with any one, and Ohio state doesn't outclass the Ducks in any way. Sometimes you have to read between the lines.

Ryan day can’t beat Michigan
He has beaten MI first year 56-27 on the road-Almost beat Georgia
@@thomasorzack5795 but that was before Michigan was a quality team and almost beating isn’t beating. And didn’t he lose to a 2021 trash Oregon team when he had cj stroud and Marvin Harrison jr. now osu has worse qb and wr and Oregon has gotten better and Michigan is osu daddy so osu goes 10-2
@@JajsnsjsnThat was before mIchigan was a quality team lol. Ohio State smoked Fishigan 56-27 at the mid house in Ryan Day’s 1st year lol. I don’t even want to act like Fishigan fans but I’ll go that route. They had to cheat to win, out of this 3 game losing streak only 1 was a legit loss. You see what happens when they don’t get to cheat, they barely win at home with OSU’s worse qb in a long time and he was the difference in the game in 2023. But I’ll give Fishigan 1 win if they didnt cheat and that’s probably 2021. We know OSU wouldn’ve smoked Fishigan in 2020 and Hairball gets wacked. That would’ve been 9 straight losses, it’s hard to beat a rival 10 straight games and Fishigan would’ve been due for a win so I’ll give them 2021. Oregon beat OSU in 2021 with a young CJ Stroud and OSU had a defensive coordinator that had no business having that job, we know if they had played later that year with Stroud’s more experience they smoke Oregon. 2021 Fishigan gets blasted by Georgia and can’t beat TCU in 2022, OSU would’ve blasted them, but OSU has bad luck with Georgia. OSU bad luck again with an offensive lineman tripping and allowing Fishigan’s d lineman to make a play to cause an int. If OSU wins that game they would’ve became national champions. The cheaters can get credit for winning without Connor but they still cheated for 2 plus seasons and that will never be negated. You know in your heart OSU is beating Fishigan next game and it’s will be by the very least 2 td’s. For all of the talk by Fishigan and their fans Ryan Day may run up the score to an extent lol. Ohio State is winning the natty, going undefeated or maybe just 1 loss at Oregon, and that’s a big maybe but OSU wins the rematch in the Big 18 title game. Fishigan on the the other steps back like James Harden with at the very least 3 losses to Texas, Oregon, and OSU. They might lose to USC and even could drop an unexpected game. Best case I see for them is 3 losses and worse case is 5 losses including the postseason. OSU is going 16-0 or 15-1 as national champs and look at it as that being good for the Big 18 with consecutive national champs and that takes away from the SEC’s dominance. We still have to wait and see what the ncaa does to Fishigan eventually though. OSU is starting another win streak against Fishigan and this is the beginning of a national dynasty. This isnt the same as past years and it’s especiaaly cause all of the players coming back, transfer pick ups, and coaching additions while Fishigan lost all of those upperclassmen to graduation and the draft, new coaching staff, doesnt recruit at a top 10 level and that’s what’s needed to sustain similar success. They have some key returns on defense but that’s not enough. They enjoyed their little 3 year run but now it’s over and back to minimum 3 loss seasons lol
@@kevinchavis8462 didn’t Michigan win the national championship last year and didn’t osu lose to Missouri. Also genuine question but is ksu qb really going to be osu starter cuz if that the case Dillion Gabriel going to wreck osu like Michigan did last year.
@@Jajsnsjsn I clearly said Michigan won without Connor. That has nothing to do with this upcoming season, pay attention to what has transpired this offseason. I have explained this to many casuals, OsU did did lose to Missouri, only casuals and trolls take stock in that game. OSU was without Marv and their another top 3 wr. Without 2 of their top 3 rb’s. True freshman 3rd string qb takes over early in the game due to the 2nd string qb getting hurt after Kyle Mccord transfers before the game. Starting Center out and the rest of the oline was reshuffled. Out their top 2 linebackers. When Missouri sees a reshuffled oline with a true freshman 3rd string qb with no significant snaps all season Missouri stacks the box to help limit OSU’s run game and brings constant pressure on run and pass plays. Missouri had all of their stars except just 2 defensive starters. It’s a non playoff game so really it doesn’t matter, it’s just bragging rights and I still would’ve said that if OSU won, especially when teams aren’t even close to full strength. That’s why I don’t put stock in that Gerogia/Florida St bowl game. If any other top team had the exact same circumstances as OSU against Missouri, that team loses to Missouri too. The same Missouri team that played the true best or 2nd best team in Georgia at Georgia’s stadium real tough. While both teams were near full strength. That game came down to the final 5 minutes. If OSU has some of their players available, especially one of their top 2 qb’s, OSU beats Missouri. Will Howard proved he can lead a team a Big 12 championship and beat the national runner up TCU in the conference championship game. That was with him playing with a far less talented team than OSU. At OSU Howard is an experienced qb, playing with way more talent, being coached by one of the best qb developers in the game, playing in a mobile qb friendly system under Chip Kelly while blending in the passing concepts from one of the best play callers in Ryan Day. OSU has the best rb duo and a top 3 wr unit if not the best to mesh with Howard. Plus OSU will have the best defense which be an historic unit which takes pressure off of what will be one of the best offenses which will be a balanced attack. If not Howard, OSU has a deep qb room. None have to be what OSU has had in the past with being a top qb, just good enough and Howard or any other will be that. I don’t think Howard will be the no 1 qb in all of college football but it’s not like that’s impossible, but I do see him being improved and being one of the best qb’s in the game, doesn’t need to be a top heisman candidate but I think he will be one of the best qb’s, if not he’ll still be good enough and that’s definitely enough for a national title in which OSU accomplishes that goal. Then the recruiting floodgates get even bigger and that’s scary hours for everyone else. Even if OSU loses to Oregon in which I don’t think so but it is a possibility, it will be a close tough game if Oregon wins. OSU’s defense is too good to be wrecked by Dillion and Oregon’s offense. OSU has a better chance at wrecking them than the other way around but I think it will be a tough game for both. If Oregon wins or not OSU beats them in a rematch in the Big 18 title game on a neutral field.

They honestly may be a very good pass blocking unit.
How so? The center position was rated extremely low by PFF last season, and despite the tackles receiving high ratings that was the worst Ohio State pass-blocking OL (and run-blocking OL) in the entire Day era. Simmons is highly penalized, Fryar might be a better fit at guard, and Donovan Jackson is the most talented player on that OL by NFL projections, and is only behind Fryar in PFF player rankings. Given that Montgomery could play at guard and either Hinzman or McLaughlin will play at RG along with Jackson at LG, the interior of the OL could be very good, particularly at run blocking. Also, this unit is extremely thin across the board as they are about as young or slightly younger compared to Michigan, despite losing 5 less players to the draft.
