Ohio State @ Rutgers, Friday Jan. 2, 8pm EST, Peacock

I finally saw this game. First of all, a bit surprised Evan Turner repeatedly pronounced Devin Royal's name as "Royale" ... anyways, it really was a team effort in this game with a number of Buckeyes contributing at times offensively, and that's really critical for this or any team really. I don't think anyone here mentioned it, but Diebler strategically switched to a 1-3-1 zone defense, which pushed Rutgers guards past the 3-point arc, and it worked really well. I think certainly being able to adapt and change as necessary is vital for this team being able to win games like this. Diebler also has been pretty good at getting these guys to score out of timeouts, and it happened again in this game. Ogbole for Rutgers was a beast on the glass - very big, strong, quick and high motor - so I can see why OSU struggled with offensive rebounds against him - that being said, you don't want to give up that many offensive rebounds. I would have liked to seen Bynum in particular go a little harder on pursuing defensive rebounds. Tilly I think always is going to struggle a little bit on the glass in a particularly frustrating way, but it is what it is.

ESPNs ever so great FPI has 5-7 Miss State ranked 17 SPOTS above 8-4 Wake Forest lol. You'll have people from the same company that uses the FPI to pimp the SEC still claiming this was a mismatch favoring Wake Forest though even though their own biased ranking system says otherwise

Landing Jacobs this week was huge for the 2027 class, but the only thing better than one elite defensive line target out of Georgia for the Buckeyes would of course be another, and so far so good when it comes to Justin Weeks.

The No. 179 player nationally and the 22nd best edge rusher in the class per the 247Sports Composite, Weeks has well over 20 offers to his name, but has made it clear Georgia and Ohio State are the schools that at least currently are sticking out the most for him and his recruitment.

2025 Cotton Bowl BMW Thread: tOSU vs FairWeatherConvicts Led by this Generation's Chuck Amato

I think one big knock on the defense, that I'm also jealous of because OSU didn't utilize it, is the QB run on broken plays or you know just throwing the ball away to avoid sacks. Beck was able to extend multiple drives due to almost just "wanting it more" and taking off. Sayin had at 2 3rd downs I can remember where he could've run for less than 5yds and got a 1st down. There were also countless times I was screaming at my TV for Sayin to just throw the ball away and not get sacked. I think the experience gap between the QBs was on display. Beck kept his offense ahead, and not having to make hero throws to get 1st downs.

I so agree with this post. Miami just seemed to want it more top to bottom. The energy and individual efforts by Miami players was different.
Lots to digest. I come away with more questions than answers.
I do not like the way they do the playoffs with such a long layoff and I also feel like with such a long layoff other things off the field come into play more due to player movement and coaching chances. The product of the actual football game is suffering due to the current structure of the playoffs and current state of NIL and transfer portal.

I am now convince the 1st 2 rounds should be home games for the higher seeds and the semis and finals should be the only bowl games. This weekend should be the semis IMO.

Imagine if HS football to a 3-4 week break between the last game and playoffs.
