Julian Sayin, Kayden McDonald and Jeremiah Smith Lead Pro Football Focus’ Highest-Graded Ohio State Players Against Purdue​

159410_h_0.jpg

1. QB Julian Sayin (89.2)​

Are we living in a Bill Murray movie? For the fifth straight week, Sayin earned the highest grade among all Ohio State players. His passing grade of 88.8 against Purdue was the second-best in the nation among all quarterbacks with at least 25 pass attempts for Week 11, and his offensive grade of 89.2 was the best in the conference among QBs with a minimum of 25 passes.

For the season, Sayin continues to lead all quarterbacks in the FBS in offensive and passing grades. He has a 93.5 in both categories, as his passing grade is up from last week's grade of 93.1.

2. DT Kayden McDonald (88.3)​

McDonald earned the nation’s highest grade among defensive tackles (88.3) for his play against Purdue. It’s the second week in a row that an Ohio State defensive tackle has been the nation’s best, as Eddrick Houston was PFF’s highest-graded DT of the week for his performance vs. Penn State.

McDonald's rushing defense grade of 89.4 was the second-best in the nation for DTs in Week 11, and his 87.6 overall grade for the season is the best among Big Ten players at his position.

3. WR Jeremiah Smith (87.2)​

Smith's receiving grade of 87.8 and his overall grade of 87.2 against the Boilermakers were the best in the Big Ten for the week among all players with at least four catches. For the season, Smith has improved by 2.3 points from last week and leads the nation with an offensive grade of 90.3 among receivers with at least two targets.

Smith was Ohio State’s third-highest-graded player behind Sayin and a defensive tackle for the second week in a row, with McDonald replacing Houston in this week’s top three.

Week 12 Game Discussion Thread

Looks like Kent State tried to blow it and give the game to Action U, but the good guys prevailed in OT and now have the Wagon Wheel.

There was some epic cripple fighting in that game.

Kent State tried to blow a double digit 4th quarter lead with multiple turnovers. They came up just short and fell on the one that would have lost the game in regulation, made it to OT and then...won because both teams suck and when you let bad teams have at it, the random variance is off the charts.

LSU Tigers (official thread)

that should read "The Governor" instead of LSU.
He's basically typing up his own political obituary right now and is too stupid to even realize it.
Hell he's somehow figured out a way to make me glad I left Louisiana.

Scoot Woodward had the buyout secured (from private donors) and in his back pocket to use pending negotiations with Kelly.

Then Huey P. Landry steps in and can't keep his mouth shut. Bashes Kelly, bashes the buyout, bashes Kelly's agent, etc. Boasts that Louisiana ain't footing a bill like that (which the state wasn't footing anyway). Runs off Woodward and puts his little puppets in place as President and AD.

Negotiations go to shit and now here comes the lawsuit. And that lawsuit is against the State. and is now sitting on the State AG's desk.
And LSU will lose that lawsuit.

Meaning we went from the state Taxpayers not paying a penny for any of this to paying for all the court and legals fees for this fiasco, PLUS whatever dollar amount Kelly wins (because good luck rounding up the money again from the donor you just cut out of the loop).

How can any of that be true? It makes no sense at all. Reasonable people who’s decisions affect millions of constituents don’t just…

2027 CT DL Mekai Brown (Verbal Offer)

My favorite Edge prospect this class, Mekai Brown, will be visiting for the Rutgers game on 11/22, not this weekend as originally planned. I think he will be a 5* when it’s all said and done. He’ll be at TN this weekend and then USC on 11/29.
I was really hoping that he’d be quietly kept under wraps and only visit us this fall (PSU and FL were the only other big schools after him). He says his dad is from LA and that offer excited the family. Says scheme will be very important, which is in our favor as we move our DL all over the place and he has similar body measurables as Kenyatta.

I don't think they did.
I haven't looked at the polls this week, but last week, there was no G5 team in the top 25. But Memphis was put into the 12 spot.
I'm saying that that the rule should be that if you aren't in the top X teams (whatever X is), you aren't in the playoffs, no matter which other criteria you meet.
If no G5 team (*conference winner) makes it into the top 25, then no G5 team should be in the playoff.
Same goes for ACC, SEC, Big Ten, whatever. I mean, I can't really imagine a situation where a P4 conference winner isn't in the top 25, but if you aren't in the top 25, I don't care how many conferences you won, you aren't in the playoff.
That's my vote.

Oh, I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you meant they should pick a number for polls to count as "ranked", and didn't equate that to the playoffs. I don't really care what the playoff committee does as far as selecting the 12 "best teams", meeting automatic bid requirements, there are always going to be arguments about who was in and left out. I would like to see the ranking system taken down to like a top 10, and solely for talk points. Everyone knows that the rankings are made up and arbitrary and hold no actual weight, especially the further back you get. Just do a classic "top 10" list, which is A) more clear in narrowing down some of the "best" teams from "the rest" and B) more defined and honest. I feel like right now the polls are just writers and coaches (let's be honest though, more likely aides to those folks) probably putting effort into the first 10 or so, and then just filling out the rest based on their prior rating, or pulling names from a hat, etc. Nothing after 15 matters in the grand scheme anyway, other than for the SEC to thump their chest. Keep it simple. Pick your 10 best teams, find the cumulative 10 best teams, and occasionally there's a top 10 game on the schedule to pimp.

My real fix action would never happen, but I'd love to see 12 conferences of 10 teams each. 9 Conference games determine a champion, who makes the 12 team playoff (which is seeded by a committee, no selection process, just seeds). 3 Non-conference games at the beginning of the season to serve both as a chance to warm-up/get to know your team, and a chance to "look good" against other conferences when trying to earn a 1st round bye or host the 1st round, should you make the tournament. Otherwise, these games don't matter in terms of making the playoffs, much like an NFL pre-season. Here, you could get those marquee games out of conference without it hurting either team in the long run. These games allow you to test some things (can your kicker make that 60 yard FG? Still uncertain of your QB battle, test them both out these 3 games, etc.)

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Tennessee getting comically propped up so they can slide Vandy in if Vandy beats beats them.

Tennessee plays New Mexico State and Florida before then so unless there's a big upset they will easily move into the top 20 by the. With 3 losses and their best win being against Mississippi State

I hope they seed the playoff field with a bunch of undeserving SEC teams. Makes our path easier.
