1. CLASS OF 2013 • 23 ENROLLEES • NATIONAL RANK: NO. 2 • SCORE: 303.35
Urban Meyer’s first full class was an instrumental part of Ohio State's 2014 national championship season. Five-star safety Vonn Bell was the class's top-rated signee as Meyer beat out the SEC for the prized defender. Middletown athlete Jalin Marshall was also a five-star and – believe it or not – Joey Bosa was a measly four-star and the class's third-best signee.

Four-star tailback Ezekiel Elliott is now perhaps the best pure rusher in the National Football League. The class also included Eli Apple, J.T. Barrett, Gareon Conley, Marcus Baugh, Billy Price, and Tyquan Lewis. If you're a fan of the productive three-star signings, then you'll be happy to know that things worked out quite well for both Darron Lee and Chris Worley.

The class did include a few signees that didn't work out so well. Mike Mitchell was a freakishly athletic linebacker, but a family member's health problems led to a transfer to Texas Tech. He has since moved to Florida, bulked up to 270 pounds, and most recently played for the NAIA's Southeastern University.

Dayton's Cameron Burrows was the No. 2 player in Ohio behind Marshall. Injuries plagued his Ohio State career which ended with 31 tackles for four pass breakups. Centerville's Evan Lisle eventually transferred to Duke after spending his time in Columbus as a backup lineman. Cleveland's Donovan Munger saw his career come to an unfortunate end due to a blood clot issue.

Here's hoping the 2020 class is even better!!!!

Also, Fruity Pebbles are in a league of their own.

We will never find a better name for a QB.

I'm waiting for the Keith Richards celebrity endorsement first.

Attendance for the seven games run by the College Football Playoff dropped to an all-time low this postseason, halfway through the CFP's initial contract that created the New Year's Six games and the CFP National Championship. The attendance at those seven games were down a cumulative 42,500 fans or 8 percent from a playoff-era high in 2015.

That's an average decline of 6,069 fans per game across the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Peach Bowl, Sugar Bowl and CFP National Championship. A sellout crowd of 76,885 Monday watched LSU defeat Clemson at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in the title game. That brought the CFP attendance total to 492,220, down 3 percent from the previous season.

For the fourth consecutive year, four of the seven CFP games decreased in attendance from the previous season.

"It's exactly what Nick Saban has been saying," said Wright Waters, outgoing Football Bowl Association executive director. "We've created a group of schools that their goal is to be in the playoff."

The biggest declines this season came in the Cotton Bowl and Sugar Bowl, each of which featured a non-traditional team and was not a semifinal game.

It was nice to see them not suck (?) for the first time in a couple weeks.

Anyone know anything about the two suspensions?

Holtmann said it would be a day-to-day thing, they'd keep it in-house, but that they showed good attitudes and "supported their teammates in the locker room." Here's hoping the suspensions are brief and Chris pressed the right buttons to motivate them.

I had a feeling this would happen.

@Bucklion has LSU, so @TampaBuckeyes did what I did and went with Clemson. I had LSU but changed because I was guessing they did too.

One of them is going to win.

Was worth it to see Clemson get wiped. Fuck that inbred shithead.

legs must still be tired

One thing we're seeing too often this bowl season is the replay system lost its way. Instead of correcting obvious errors they're now re-officiating the game and making hair-splitting calls.

Fredo just experienced it. The announcers, again, were dumbfounded since there's no obvious view to change the call.

However, it is pretty cloudy.

Guess there were punt returns listed on here earlier, as some were like 50 -60 yard returns. Was wondering if maybe they were on-side kicks returned for TDs but it seemed like a lot for that to be true. Amazing Bucks have not returned one in 10 years.
