Just sayin': I'm just guessing that he knew he wasn't going to beat out Montgomery, Tshabola, Padilla, and VanSickle for an OG position. In his case I don't think it was about NIL money. He had already earned his degree at Ohio State in "sport industry". He had one more year of eligibility left; so he "took a chance" and transferred to his home state team. He just wanted an opportunity for more playing time in his final year in college.

He really didn’t even play much this year to be honest…..tons of injuries saw him getting some PT. He was third string entire season…

Rating teams based on All-time poll rankings

BB73
This has been updated after the final polls for the 2025 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 2025 final polls:

01. 3137 - Alabama
02. 3036 - Ohio State
03. 2818 - Oklahoma
04. 2651 - Notre Dame
05. 2287 - Michigan
06. 2123 - USC
07. 1937 - Texas
08. 1705 - Penn State
09. 1639 - Georgia (jumped Nebraska)
10. 1630 - Nebraska
11. 1555 - Tennessee
12. 1439 - LSU
13. 1379 - Florida State (-10 for losing record in 2025)
14. 1272 - Miami
15. 1175 - Florida (-10 for losing record in 2025)
16. 1113 - Auburn (-10 for losing record in 2025)
17. 1013 - Clemson
18. 0847 - Michigan State (-10 for losing record in 2025)
19. 0842 - UCLA (-10 for losing record in 2025)
20. 0744 - Washington
21. 0690 - Arkansas (-10 for losing record in 2025)
22. 0612 - Ole Miss
23. 0579 - Texas A&M
24. 0525 - Georgia Tech
25. 0489 - Wisconsin (-10 for losing record in 2025)
26. 0443 - Oregon
27. 0409 - Pittsburgh

Other schools: Iowa (377), Minnesota (341), Boise St (312), Colorado (285), Army (267), BYU (263), Syracuse (257), Stanford (215), Va Tech (198), West Va (156), Oklahoma St (37), Purdue (05), and Illinois (-77).

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. 3412 - Alabama (MNCs in '25, '26, '34, 2/3 for '30 = 275)
02. 3036 - Ohio State
03. 2876 - Notre Dame (MNCs in '24, '29, '30 = 225)
04. 2818 - Oklahoma
05. 2462 - Michigan (MNCs in '01, '02, '23, '33 = 175)
06. 2323 - USC (MNCs in '31, '32, 2/3 for '28 = 200)
07. 1937 - Texas
08. 1705 - Penn State
09. 1639 - Georgia
10. 1630 - Nebraska
11. 1555 - Tennessee
12. 1439 - LSU
13. 1379 - Florida State
14. 1272 - Miami
15. 1175 - Florida
16. 1113 - Auburn
17. 1013 - Clemson
18. 0847 - Michigan State
19. 0842 - UCLA
20. 0744 - Washington
21. 0690 - Arkansas
22. 0650 - Georgia Tech (MNCs in '17, '28 = 125)
23. 0629 - Texas A&M (MNC in '19 = 50)
24. 0612 - Ole Miss
25. 0534 - Pittsburgh (MNCs in '10, '16, '18 = 125)
26. 0491 - Minnesota (MNCs in '34, '35 = 150)
27. 0489 - Wisconsin
28. 0443 - Oregon
29. 0377 - Iowa
30. 0367 - Army (MNCs in '14, '16 = 100)
31. 0312 - Boise State
32. 0290 - Stanford (MNC in ‘26 = 75)
33. 0285 - Colorado
34. 0263 - BYU
35. 0257 - Syracuse
36. 0198 - 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.
