Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
SKULL SESSION: JUSTIN FIELDS' HISTORIC TOUCHDOWN-TO-INTERCEPTION RATIO, THE OHIO STATE BASKETBALL TEAM SHOULD TOP THE RANKINGS, AND DRUE CHRISMAN'S BEEN PRACTICING AT QUARTERBACK
BEST DAMN TEAM IN THE LAND, ALSO.
Tired: The Ohio State football team deserves the top seed in the college football playoff.
Wired: The Ohio State basketball team deserves to be the top team in the latest college basketball AP Poll.
Chris Holtmann's men have already defeated Villanova, North Carolina (in Chapel Hill) and Penn State by an average of 27 points per contest. Those are three opponents that, barring major surprises, will all play in the NCAA tournament.
Ohio State, in all probability, won't actually be No. 1 when this week's AP poll is released. Still, no team has put together a more impressive record of basketball so far than what we've seen from the Buckeyes over their first 605 possessions.
The Buckeyes have shown they can win very different types of games. Statistically, this is a defense that can rival Virginia's, yet on Saturday they exploded for 106 points in just 70 possessions in a 32-point win at home over a very good Nittany Lion team.
It's looking like we'll see two snubs in two days, so break those pitchforks out.
I know a significant portion of y'all won't give a damn about this until about the middle of January (listen, I get it), but the Buckeyes aren't just playing well, they're blasting the shit out of every team they face by historic margins.
And it's not like one or two guys are carrying the load themselves – eight dudes averaging between seven and 13 points. That balance is absolutely absurd. Sustainable? Who's to say! But still, absurd!
It's early, but so far it's legitimately the most impressive Ohio State basketball team in almost a decade. But Chris Holtmann will never, ever admit that.
If you would have told me a month ago that the Ohio State basketball team would have the same ranking as the football team at this point in the year, I would have just assumed Ohio State would got waxed on the road against Rutgers, because for some reason that would have made a hell of a lot more sense than reality.
But hey, reality is good!

Not Banned
IMO this team has the best bench that I can remember at OSU. There have been teams with one or two pretty good players, but none with three guys that are all-around good players who legitimately contribute. You could argue for 2007 but Cook really tailed off and was not very effective in February & March (plus his D wasn't very good) so it was really Hunter and frosh Lighty with a modest boost from Twigs.

Too soon old, too late smart
Who woulda thunk it? Holtmann has really got the Buckeyes drinking the Kool-Aid regarding defense, and they're seeing that it is true. Love the legs and hops of this team. Kaleb is looking mighty impressive, and the role players are playing their roles to perfection. The fire is in their eyes, and there's not the 'standing around' that I've witnessed in the Buckeyes in the past. AND, to my surprise, it appears that the FT % is above 70%! We've lost quite a few because of low FT %, so this is marvelous to see. Keep the kids healthy, and keep getting the 2's some good minutes. Oh yeah, it also seems like the Buckeyes are going 8-9 deep, instead of the 6 or 7. Liddell is becoming nice relief for Kaleb, leaving Young to do his thing on the wing. That's also nice to see. There'll be a loss or two coming, but everything is looking really good so far. Add a little adversity to strengthen their 'steel', and I predict a deep run in the Dance this year. Go Bucks!

if we're not #1 after a minny win, it's going to be really tight. not much of a gap right now between kansas and osu. might even be #2 in the ap and #1 in the coaches. analytics will have us higher than ku.
