Buckeyes will play Missouri in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl on Friday, Dec 29th at 8 ET on ESPN.

I would rather have gotten Ole Miss. A couple of weeks of Joey Freshwater would have been refreshing. That's three B1G-SEC matchups so far.

Damn, couldn't we have gotten Oregon or even Ole Miss. This just doesn't move the needle. Probably wanted to avoid Oregon because they'll be in-conference next year.

Yep, I just hope some Mizzou guys opt out as well. Probably not, though. A Cotton Bowl is a big deal for that program.

EE might need it if he's trying to boost his stock and declare this year

I've seen him around the 20 pick. I don't think he could boost it into the top 10 with one game, and an injury could drop him to the second round. I'd love to be wrong.

Marv: 100% top 10 pick
Emeka: 100% first round pick
Tre: 70% day 2 pick, but that won't change by playing this game unless he completely goes off
Stover 40%, I think he plays for the same reason he's a captain.

Will be interesting to see Hayden/Chip combo. Lose the explosiveness, but they will be able to pound the rock for 3-5 yards. Julian/Tate/X is also a pretty good WR1 group, rotate in Ballard and Inniss and it will be pretty good.

Burke: 90% first round pick
JT: 90% first round pick
Hancock: 50%, He finished strong and may have worked his way into the second round already. Potential is insane. He might also come back.

I think everyone else still has something to prove and potential of increasing draft stock with a great game.

We know we can play without Burke, and I'm kind of excited to see how the D line looks with Sawyer on one side and Curry/Kenyatta rotating on the other side. That could be sick next year, especially if Tyleik and Hall both stick around.

They'll get at least 3 points every drive they make it past the Bucks' 40.

He's not playing. He'll be a first round pick.
