Just sayin': I never would have thought that Ohio State's 2026 Transfer Portal Class would be ranked as high as #4....

Give me Barwis or give me death!

Whenever I see this thread pop up, I’m expecting to see that De La Cruz has entered the transfer portal.

sorry I wasn't implying that guys weren't playing because S&C coach... I wasn't even implying that they weren't rotating because of that ... I was implying that maybe we need a refresh on the S&C side because its stale ...

I think it's a little bit of a few things...

They have NFL style depth at a lot of positions lately. Wr, dl, lb, with enormous dropoffs to the next level (albeit at lb they have the talent ). They also had a few coaches with NFL approaches to depth.

What I could come around to agreeing upon is where the floor of the DL talent is... Which is close to what you're arguing. You're not going to consistently have bosas or Youngs, but there are a lot less tyquan lewis types at DE these days. Who is far from the floor, but the point being there are a lot less pretty good DEs lately.

Whoa. The last time a school won its first national championship was Florida in 1996.

lol at the 9th ranking for Michigan. We shouldn't even be ranked. The best would be 21-25. I know we have an actual adult as a head coach now and he did a better job at keeping the class/transfers together than I anticipated, but our front 7 might be the worst I have seen in a decade unless some of the unknowns step up.

You guys missed the memo. Chill. They’re doing things much differently this year.

It makes the regular season almost unwatchable, but then again, it was anyways.

Cavs will build up towards last few weeks of season. They decided entering this season, as I said 2 months ago, they are not chasing a great regular season record. It hasn’t helped them last (2) years.

They’re punting on regular season to be fresh in post-season. Let’s see how it plays out….

I recall a certain college football team that tried that same thing this year. Better hope we don't get the same results

Ohio State Finishes Fifth in Final AP Top 25 of 2025 Season​

Ohio State is ranked fifth in the final AP poll for the 2025 season.

The Buckeyes finished behind Indiana, Miami, Oregon and Ole Miss in the final AP Top 25 of the season, which was released Tuesday following Indiana’s win over Miami in the national championship game.

Final AP Top 25 for 2025 Season
It’s the 11th time in the last 12 years that the Buckeyes have finished the year ranked in the top six of the final AP poll. The only exception was two years ago, when Ohio State finished 10th in the year-end AP poll after ending the year with back-to-back losses to Michigan and Missouri.

Final AP Rankings Since 2014
Ohio State is the only team to finish in the top 10 of the AP poll in all 12 seasons since the inaugural College Football Playoff in 2014.

The status quo sucked. Taking advantage of athletes and using the hammer to control them. Now the athletes have the hammer and it’s entertaining to me. Go to a Wittenberg or Capital game if you want “College Football “ and student athletes win one for old Alma mater.

Mine jumped quite a bit last year and I fully expected a large increase this year. So far it barely went up in the estimate. Still some County stuff to be worked out though. A lot of folks seeing 20+ around me

Just sayin':
1. The last year Miami lost less than 3 games was in 2003 (they were 11-2); which was their last year in the Big East.

2. "Nine and three Mario" has a familiar ring to it.

If it's true, that the IU kid was going in on Mark's dad (passed away) then honestly, Mark gave that kid what he deserved.

Football is one thing. Shit talk is one thing. Then there are lines you cross when retribution is warranted.

Mine went down by $3 this year.

Weird what happens when everyone is paying their players.

Move to South Carolina. We have some of the cheapest property taxes for owner occupied houses. They make it back on commercial properties. My home and and a business property I own have similar tax valuations (1.5M). My annual tax for my home was 5,600.00 . The business tax hit is 61,000.00 plus.
