My 2 real sleepers for this years playoffs are UVA and BYU. I think both of those teams play great Defense and by the end of the year the QBs will be difference makers in close games

TCU is not a good football team

Horrible spot.

That is why I don't get people being hung up on money, NIL, transfers etc.

Watch that, and if you were a fan of W&M watching it live...you going to tell me that NIL is on your mind?

Come on. It's still bat shit crazy fun.

Same reason I never liked the NFL that much: it's almost purely business. There isn't the same commitment and love for the university that there used to be, and it's harder to be invested in the stories of mercenaries. There's still entertainment to the game, but it's lost most of its soul

4 catches 96 yards for Thurman

TCU ending a drive on downs for the 4th time today.

Unfortunately I fell asleep before the end, but Poly’s QB will do some damage this season.

I was about to say. I know usc has talent but they probably don’t go to games anymore.

86 -Olejnik loses Bronze match.

2026 Season Preview: Final Projection of Ohio State’s Depth Chart, Offense and Special Teams​

It's all speculation by 11W; however, the big surprise to me is Legend Bey. Apparently he took the suspension well, worked his ass off, got out of the coaches' proverbial "doghouse", and could have passed a real solid transfer RB on the depth chart.

Running Back​

1. Bo Jackson
2. Isaiah West
3. Legend Bey
4. Ja’Kobi Jackson

Kickoff Returner​

1. Legend Bey
2. Brandon Inniss
3. Kyle Parker

There’s been no real indication of who will return kicks for Ohio State this season, so I’m choosing to buy stock in Bey again. Assuming he is what everyone’s saying he is, his explosiveness and agility make him a natural choice to return kicks and could make him the top big-play threat the Buckeyes have had on kickoff returns since Ted Ginn Jr.

For a guy who played the game, Booger McFarland has some really strange takes on the teams that play it....

It's funny how different our team looks compared to teams like TCU/UNC, physically. There are a whole lot of "skinny " players for them that you don't see in Columbus

TBH, I totally forgot Thurman was on UNC.

Glad to see him as such an important weapon. They’re building things around him and the other WR.

So I guess that means he has to come back next year .....

Yeah I was thinking about this.

With Luke pushing Tavien that’s not exactly comforting for the back up spot. Julian was ranked in the late 80s lately by someone for next years draft.

If that’s the case, give me another year of Julian and have Luke as the backup next year. Would prefer that over a late round pick for Julian and a Tavien St. Claire that’s not ready

Given how the 'local boy' narrative was pushed for Kenny Pickett, on top of the Marino curse - I'm positive we'll deal with a lot of that come 2027 draft re: Dante.

That is a big human
