Though their current recruiting class hasn't started our very hot, I doubt it stays outside of the top 10 when all is said and done. But it would be very hard for me as a prospect to look at that roster and believe that they develop players, as well as a school like OSU. It's almost like Saban and staff have simply stockpiled high 4star and 5star recruits year after year, and fail to develop the guys that came the year before. I've never seen a roster with so many guys I wondered what happened to, and then see that they've been riding the Crimson pine for 3-4yrs, and may never see the field except on special teams. Just think, guys like: Robert Foster, Hootie Jones, Derek Kief, Hale Hentges, Rashaan Evans, among others are all on the bench. And there are a number of Bama players who are just getting to start after being with the program 3-4yrs. It seems like OSU's players have more of a natural progression(unless injury is involved) in seeing the field, and that may have to do with the fact that the OSU position coaches believe in rotating players in, so there are a large number of guys who have game reps throughout the season. It seems like once Bama finds their starters, no one else on the team matters all that much, and you run your starters into the ground(hence why so many get injured seriously in the NFL) and hope that if a starter does get hurt, that that highly recruited backup can fill in.
I say all of that to say this: IT SURE FEELS GREAT TO BE A BUCKEYE!

After watching this game against FSU, I really want OSU to Play Bama. I wasn't impressed in any way. I could see OSU beating Bama by 2TDs. FSU played right into their defensive strengths, especially with their terrible O line play and Francois playing like a young kid. I dont see Barrett getting rattled in the 2nd half like Francois did. And OSU has much more weapons that FSU, and our defensive front 7 is every bit as good as Bama's.

Bama's o-line doesn't scare me at all. Their defensive line looks good but FSU's offensive line has had trouble since last year blocking people so it's hard to know how good they are. Still sickens me how well coached that defense is though. For once I wish Saban would have a mediocre as hell defense for one year. 2014 was the closest and even then it was pretty formidable.
