Ohio State AD's $38M Deficit

Nothing to get worked up about from what I read at first glance.

38MM is not a lot of money vs a budget of 300 and it’s a known, one off thing (6 home games) year.

What are you going to do, cut spending on the cash cow when you know another positive revenue fiscal year is under way?

This is a timing issue. Nothing more.
Not worried about it either. Plus aside from only 6 home games, most games at home aside from The Game were not exactly banner matchups that drive in revenue.

Regardless, we got a Natty and Bjork is off to a good start there. I also think he is doing a good job with other programs so far, or at least the ones I follow. If there is an actual issue with the budget, it is Ohio State and you can be damn sure it will be corrected.

TE Patrick Gurd (National Champion, transfer to Cincinnati)

Walked on. Worked himself onto the field in 13 games this year. Became a national champion. I have a tremendous respect for the persistence and attitude behind that kind of achievement. Now, I hope he gets a chance to start a Masters degree and hold down a starting position.

Well done, Patrick!

LB Joey Velazquez (National Champion)

what a story this kid is.

He's the anti-Tony Alford, who managed to coach for both Michigan and Ohio State over the last two years and get zero conference or national championships and 7 losses.

Kevin Wilson (Former HC Tulsa)

Totally agree with that sentiment. Currently with an empty title, Hartline should (?) be pushing to put some relevant experience behind it. He's on a tremendous run as WR coach/recruiter, but as we all know, things change, and nothing lasts forever. Mid-majors might tab him as HC, eventually, but a lower level doesn't ensure success, methinks. Sitting in the meetings, even participating, watching game plans being fomented is important, but until one has the experience. doesn't make sense to be named 'the guy'.

CB Calvin Simpson-Hunt (National Champion, transfer to Baylor)

Best of luck and hope he does well back in his home state, but it is a bit of a bummer as a recruitnik...really thought he would be a good one here. Figured he would make a run at a starting job with all the DB talent that is graduating. That said, there is going to be a lot of talent in the CB room still and we don't know where the pecking order was other than Mathews seeming to have a spot pretty much locked up.
Feel the same. Thought this would be the year he and Mathews took over the reigns and balled out but it looks like some guys with more size are ready to go. I think he starts at Baylor and he'll have a good run in the Big XII

Rating teams based on All-time poll rankings

This has been updated after the final polls for the 2022 season.

OK, here's how this was calculated. I took each team's ranking in every year-end poll since the AP started in 1936. Once 2 polls were involved (the Coaches Poll started in 1950), I always used the higher ranking. Sliding scale points were awarded for every year that a team ended up ranked, and 10 points were deducted for each losing season. The scale was determined before seeing where teams ended up.

For each year since 1936, a team earns points based on these criteria:

NC (#1) in either poll = 100 points
02 -> 05 = 65, 55, 50, 45 points, respectively
06 -> 10 = 40, 37, 34, 32, 30 points
11 -> 20 = 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 points
21 -> 25 = 08, 06, 04, 03, 02 points
non-ranked, but .500 or above = 0 points
losing record for the year = minus 10 points

Here are the all-time totals, updated after the 2022 final polls:

01. 3044 - Alabama
02. 2861 - Ohio State
03. 2778 - Oklahoma (-10 for losing record in 2022)
04. 2534 - Notre Dame
05. 2179 - Michigan
06. 2113 - USC
07. 1801 - Texas
08. 1640 - Nebraska (-10 for losing record in 2022)
09. 1636 - Penn State
10. 1505 - Tennessee
11. 1499 - Georgia
12. 1413 - LSU
13. 1359 - Florida State
14. 1195 - Florida (-10 for losing record in 2022)
15. 1193 - Miami (-10 for losing record in 2022)
16. 1143 - Auburn (-10 for losing record in 2022)
17. 0975 - Clemson
18. 0877 - Michigan State (-10 for losing record in 2022)
19. 0862 - UCLA
20. 0710 - Arkansas
21. 0689 - Washington
22. 0545 - Texas A&M (-10 for losing record in 2022)
23. 0522 - Georgia Tech (-10 for losing record in 2022)
24. 0509 - Wisconsin
25. 0507 - Ole Miss
26. 0419 - Pittsburgh

Other schools: Iowa (353), Minnesota (351), Colorado (303), Oregon (298), Boise St (278), Syracuse (267), Army (259), Stanford (245), BYU (221), Va Tech (218), West Va (174), Oklahoma St (39), Purdue (35), and Illinois (-87).

Since 2007, I have created separate ratings by adding National Championship credit for those earned prior to 1936, on a sliding scale based on 12-year periods.

1869-1899 - 10 points for each MNC (no top teams here, almost all Ivy League)
1900-1911 - 25 points for each MNC
1912-1923 - 50 points for each MNC
1924-1935 - 75 points for each MNC

Here are the all-time totals, updated with the pre-1936 MNC points:

01. 3319 - Alabama (MNCs in '25, '26, '34, 2/3 for '30 = 275)
02. 2861 - Ohio State
03. 2778 - Oklahoma
04. 2759 - Notre Dame (MNCs in '24, '29, '30 = 225)
05. 2354 - Michigan (MNCs in '01, '02, '23, '33 = 175)
06. 2313 - USC (MNCs in '31, '32, 2/3 for '28 = 200)
07. 1801 - Texas
08. 1640 - Nebraska
09. 1636 - Penn State
10. 1505 - Tennessee
11. 1499 - Georgia
12. 1413 - LSU
13. 1359 - Florida State
14. 1195 - Florida
15. 1193 - Miami
16. 1143 - Auburn
17. 0975 - Clemson
18. 0877 - Michigan State
19. 0862 - UCLA
20. 0710 - Arkansas
21. 0689 - Washington
22. 0647 - Georgia Tech (MNCs in '17, '28 = 125)
23. 0595 - Texas A&M (MNC in '19 = 50)
24. 0544 - Pittsburgh (MNCs in '10, '16, '18 = 125)
25. 0509 - Wisconsin
26. 0507 - Ole Miss
27. 0501 - Minnesota (MNCs in '34, '35 = 150)
28. 0359 - Army (MNCs in '14, '16 = 100)
29. 0353 - Iowa
30. 0303 - Colorado
31. 0298 - Oregon
32. 0278 - Boise State
33. 0267 - Syracuse
34. 0245 - Stanford (MNC in '26 = 75)
35. 0221 - BYU
36. 0218 - Virginia Tech

Note - USC and Bama received 50 points, rather than 75, for disputed titles in '28 and '30, respectively

Note - Illinois, with MNCs in '14, '23, and '27 fails to make the top 35.
If there were points for coaches who ended up doing really well somewhere else, Fredo would be top 5.
