I’d put Jonathan Wells’ 46 yard House Call against the cheaters in 2001 as first on that list, but your point is a good one despite that.

I liken it to Elvis.

There were other acts that were really good and actually came before Elvis. There have been innumerable acts post Elvis that you can say were "better" for whatever reason and a lot of those reasons are valid.

Elvis has a special place though. He was the first superstar. He was iconic when that phrase hadn't been as watered down as it is today....and you will never be able to convince an Elvis fan that he wasn't The King.

Holy Buckeye is our Elvis of 21st century moments.

I don't think the G5 deserves an auto bid, JMO.

Point of order: There is no P4 or G5, anymore. No conferences get auto bids. Only the top 5 conference winners. 98% of the time, all of what we all consider the "P4" will get those auto bids, with the "G5" getting one of them.

That being said, I think the G5 will always get at least one auto bid. Do you remember the old BCS? The old, old BCS? The original BCS rules stated that the G5 teams (they called them something different, back then) needed to be in the top 4 of the BCS standings in order to get an auto bid to one of the BCS bowl games. And there were only 4 BCS bowl games, counting the championship game. I believe that the G5 conferences threatened a lawsuit, so the P5 conferences opened a 5th bowl game (keeping the existing 4 BCS bowl games, and adding a championship game to the 4 bowl sites), and changed the criteria for G5 teams from top 4 to top 12.

I don't know who sues or gets sued, but the story we were fed back then (2005-ish) was that opening the gate to let more G5 teams in was started by threats of a lawsuit.

2026 Ohio Tight End Nick Lautar Flips Commitment from Louisville to Ohio State

Ohio State adds an in-state tight end to its 2026 recruiting class as Lebanon’s Nick Lautar flips his commitment from Louisville to the Buckeyes.

A fluid pass-catcher who shows good route-running ability for a high school tight end and the receiving skill to make tough catches in traffic, Lautar caught 38 passes for 511 yards and eight touchdowns in his senior season at Lebanon. He’s also a strong blocker who’s often seen knocking defenders into the dirt when the ball isn’t coming his way.

2026 PA DB Jay Timmons has signed!!!

pnuts34
For those wondering, this is the kid that Walton chose over Singleton in state. And I'm sure he's also fine with getting Timmons over Hill as well. I like getting players that are sons of former pros, they approach the game from a professional level that many do not. And are more willing to trust their development process

I mean he clearly looks like he’s avoiding taking a normal walking stride with his right leg, but I dunno.

Dude has no business playing against Rutgers imo, give Sayin another week of learning to leverage Inniss and Rodger’s. It willl only help the boy.
Click to expand...
I agree. Sayin and the young receivers did not look like they were on the same page. They need more reps to figure what each other are going to do depending on coverage and whatnot.

Just kind of looking at things from a broader perspective...

There are about 7 teams that are basically in, no doubt, barring some pretty unexpected results

1. Ohio State*
- In
2. Indiana
- In
3. Texas A&M*
- In, but a loss in the SEC title game could shake up the seeding
4. Georgia
- In, they're not losing to GaTech
5. Oregon
- In if they take care of business against USC, but a loss there puts them firmly in a precarious spot on the bubble
6. Mississippi
- In
7. Texas Tech*
- In, no one in the Big 12 is gonna take them down
*Projected conference champ

The ACC Champ is in, as is the best G5 team, as of now, I suppose id bet on GaTech/UVA but not with confidence, if Miami somehow sneaks into the acc title game and wins, that would open up another. I'll go with James Madison or North Texas at the moment for the G5 spot, but with the advent of the portal, I don't think the G5 deserves an auto bid, JMO.

This leaves, for all intents and purposes, 3 at large spots available, being fought over by:

Oklahoma
- they're kinda flaky, but two games against two mediocre teams are all that stands in their way

Alabama
- a loss to Auburn would, hilariously, end the season, and I wouldn't be so sure about a W there, given how their offense is playing

Notre Dame
- Interesting position they're in, if the chalk plays out, there's a good chance the last spot comes down to them and...

Miami
- I don't think this team is consistent enough to compete in a playoff scenario, but if they win out, and don't make the ACC title game, the last spot likely comes down to 10-2 Miami and 10-2 Notre Dame, would be extremely interesting to see how they choose, given the head to head. If they do make the ACC title, Notre Dame would likely be a shoe in

USC
- If they beat Oregon, good chance they're in, replacing Oregon, who would be thrown into the debate with, likely, Miami and Notre Dame, for the last spot, although the head to head against ND doesn't favor USC, so that's something to watch potentially

Michigan
- fuck them, it's not happening, even if the bullshit persists, I'm not sure who they would replace

Vanderbilt
- see above, unless there's chaos

I don't think BYU or Utah are legitimate options

I think projected ratings, er, I mean the eye test will determine which three teams fill the at-large spots. Maybe it should be called the eyeball test.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

Just sayin': Apparently he had some "issues" at Tennessee:

www.espn.com

DB Carter no longer with Vols, says he'll transfer

Tennessee defensive back/punt returner Boo Carter is no longer a member of the football team, a team official confirmed to ESPN on Sunday. Carter said on social media he won't play the rest of the season due to injury and will enter the transfer portal.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

1. Carter didn't play a defensive snap in the Volunteers' 33-27 loss to Oklahoma on Nov. 1 because of a coach's decision.

2. The source told ESPN that Carter had been informed by the coaching staff that he wasn't going to play against the Aggies because of disciplinary issues.

3. Shortly after school officials confirmed Sunday that Carter was no longer a member of the team, he announced on social media that he won't play the rest of the season due to injury and plans to enter the transfer portal when it opens Jan. 2.

I think it’s in the eye of the beholder.

Maybe we’ve gotten spoiled over time but in the moment, the way things had gone for my lifetime up to that moment…..there has been no single play that made me feel like Holy Buckeye did.

Pure, unadulterated joy for the first time in my Buckeye experience (thanks Coop you fucking cocksucker). Something finally went our way.

When I think back, and try to remember the feeling it’s only Holy Buckeye. Sawyer and Zeke won us a NC (basically) on a single play and I was jumping up and down for sure but Holy Buckeye (and beating Iowa in ‘85) gave me hope.

The miserable sonofabitch in between had damn near extinguished that in me so Holy Buckeye took it back.

Lots of great things happened post Holy Buckeye but it was the OG. You don’t ever remember one like your first one (unless you are @Thump mom and so many have come ((pun intended)) and gone you can’t remember your first one).

At some levels I think that play, and sorry for the pun-ish statement here, may have been the play where everyone on the team realized that they were ‘on a mission from God’ that season. No denying its place in history, that’s for sure.
