Obviously it's is a little early to ask this question, but this team is just so well rounded.

This team has the 2 best Wrs in the sport, the best QB, the 2 best defenseive players ( Downs and Reese), and the best coaching. Its hard to find a weak spot anywhere on the roster. Maybe punter, but he never gets a chance anyways.

Is this the best OSU team of all time? If not, then which team was better?
 
Nah 2019 is still my gold standard. At this point 2019 shut out a Cincy team that won 10 games and finished in the Top 20, beat a 10 win Indiana team by 40 in their own building, destroyed one of the better Wisconsin teams in recent memory by 31, and was up 21-0 on a Top 10 Penn State team before the usual Pedster weirdness kicked in and made the game game closer than it should've been. Outside of bad luck and injuries, 2019 didn't have too many weaknesses. Fields wasn't Sayin but he'd still light your ass up if you let him and the run game was light years better. 2019's defense was arguably as dominant as 2025 against better competition overall.

If 2025 goes on a dominant run from SCUM to the NC though, I'd be willing to put them at the top.

Hard to argue with this lol.

I will say however that the way the game flows now is different than 5 years ago. Not as many opportunities to score with less gametime due to a running clock, ie: less style points. I dont know the numbers but this year's offense may be more efficient and effective with the opportunities they have had.

Day also manages the game in a way to limit plays, wear, and tear for the players. He operated in a more conservative manner to start the season, due to having so many new starters with little experience. By the time the playoffs roll around I expect the offense to be a death star. Only thing I'll say is that this year's team does not have a J.K. Dobbins.
