Ball State from their preseason outlook looks like a pretty bad MAC team.

Their QB is either going to be a guy who only completed 56% of his passes in D2 last year or a guy who has only throw 12 passes (4/12) across 3 seasons between SMU and Texas State and their oline is horrible (gave up the 2nd most sacks per game last season)

Our D should feast easily here.

Defensively they are replacing their top 8 tacklers from a meh MAC defense with a bunch of lower-level transfers. Can't see them being able to stop us much.

We could very well be up like 42-0 at the half. A cover probably depends on how much Day is willing to let the backups actually play.

The cover is really a bet on Ball State scoring or not as I see it.
-50.5
56.5

Right? The bet is does OSU kick a FG or score that 8th TD/does Ball State find a way to score a TD.

Looking at it probabilistically and not trying to predict exact outcomes I'd say the odds are a lot better that OSU can score 8 or more than they are that Ball State scores 1.

Miami leads for Asher Ghioto with Ohio State and ND making the biggest moves recently per Chad Simmons.

Chad Simmons says Ohio State has made a huge move on Miami for Asher Ghioto along with Notre Dame. Miami is still the leader but he’s been told not to sleep on Ohio State or Notre Dame here.
No way we do this to Miami two classes in a row right?

FS2 just replayed The Game from last year. What a heart warming, soul- crushing 15 minutes of F You from Ryan Day and the Buckeyes eating clock, smashing them in their POS cheater mouths, and putting the game away at 27-9. And then... Brutus.

An eternally applied, Fuck'em!

I watched as well. I specifically enjoyed watching the body language of the players once they realized they a) didn't have the plays and b) weren't facing a mind numbingly stupid gameplan. They realized the better team was actually going to win and they just quit.

MORE THAN $40 MILLION?! Remember when Ross Bjork made headlines before the 2024 season when he said Ohio State’s roster cost $20 million? Two years later, the Buckeyes have doubled that total along with six other schools, according to CBS Sports’ Chris Hummer and John Talty.

This month, Hummer and Talty talked with a dozen sources to pinpoint the most expensive rosters in the sport. Here are the 12 that have price tags starting in the upper $30 million range.

More than $40 million​

  • LSU
  • Miami
  • Notre Dame
  • Ohio State
  • Oregon
  • Texas
  • Texas A&M

Right off the $40 million line​

  • Georgia
  • Michigan
  • Ole Miss
  • Tennessee
  • USC
And here’s what Hummer and Talty wrote about Ohio State’s spending:

The Buckeyes made waves in their national championship-winning 2024 season when athletic director Ross Bjork publicly admitted to a $20 million roster. That may have been a shrewd maneuver as multiple sources at the time thought the true number was more like $30 million.
Bjork's bill has only gone up since then with a stacked roster that includes quarterback Julian Sayin, receiver Jeremiah Smith and defensive lineman Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Smith, an all-world receiver who will be a top NFL draft pick next year, could be the highest-paid player in college football. Multiple industry sources believe his 2026 compensation is in the neighborhood of eight figures. Smith himself has claimed he turned down a $10 million offer to transfer elsewhere this offseason.
"They lost a ton," says a Big Ten general manager, "but I think their offense is going to be ridiculous."

I think this list is mostly accurate, though I find it hard to believe Texas Tech isn’t on it considering how much money Cody Campbell has pumped into that program over the past two years.

What are you currently watching on TV?

It's only been one episode, but "Laterns" on HBO is really really good.

Do you remember how Andor was the "Star Wars show for people that hated Star Wars?"

Laterns is the Super Hero show for people that hate Super Heros shows.
It's basically a buddy cop show but very dark. More to come on this - but this might be as good as "The Penguin"
