I miss GPAs.

Perspective is important.

I do think the shifting of what it means to be elite in this day and age, is a weird transition for some, myself included, and it makes sense.

Despite Sayins injury, everything's still on the table. I'm not quite sure there's a team I'd feel particularly confident to pick against us. Today was more impressive than many are giving it credit for.

Yeah - in the moment it sucked. We get a different perspective at home you literally don't get until after the game if you're coaching. Even coaches in the booth don't quite get what we get to see and hear, flawed as most color commentary is these days. Add in your own emotions, the vibe on the field and the emotions and attitudes of the kids around you, it can really swing things a certain way.

Even with that, everybody has warts this year. Last year Ohio State was the "clear favorite" until they weren't. Even after the IU game people gave them the benefit of the doubt.

No such thing this year. I thought UGA was potentially the closest to that and honestly I think they may lose another game or even two along the way.

If Miami makes it past ND they might be it but that's more about the ACC thern Miami being some juggernaut this year

Some in the Ohio State sphere are putting teams like USC and Oregon on way too high of a pedestal

USC has a god awful defense and Oregon's offensive situation is arguably worse than ours with them tossing out their 3rd stringer now.

Even if we run 70% of the time I still like our chances in both those games
