What Will Be the Buckeyes' Record in 2012?

What will be the Buckeyes' record in 2012?

 

[BUCK3YE5]

Sorry if obvious, but are we even eligible to be named AP National Champions?

 

[NFBuck]

9-3, with a win over scUM. Gonna be some growing pains, but it'll come together the last 2-3 games and be a springboard to big things in 2013...

 

[BUCKYLE]

I voted for "I don't care, as long as they beat TSUN". I do care, I'd like to win 'em all...but the final record is ultimately of little importance so long as TSUN gets a reality check.

If I had worded it, my choice would have been..."Fuck Michigan".

The NCAA has no way of forcing the Associated Press to vote a certain way, and as far as I know, the AP has no "rule" disqualifying a team on probation from the number one spot.

The AP Poll is not tied to the NCAA or BCS in any way, so yes we are...

 

[BUCK3YE5]

That would be so awesome, just the biggest "f*ck you" to the NCAA if we were named AP National Champs haha.

But the chances are very slim, it'd have to be a 2-loss NCAA Champion from outside the SEC

Not with Penn State in the hunt.


Last year was not a 6-7 team talent wise. Anything less than 11-1 and Urban HAS to go.

I'm with Kyle...I expect to win every game(probably wont happen so I voted 9-3), but as long as we take the skunkbears to the woodshed, I'll be happy since there's no postseason this year

 

[BigWoof31]

I'm not an alumni and don't follow the team, but I voted 9-3.
No trolling, but I remember Meyer's first year at UF, the acknowledgement of growing pains is accurate, his system is just wholly different than anything run last year. There is a learning curve.

Year 2 will see a vast improvement.

 

[billmac91]

I just do not see three losses on that schedule.

Last year was such a mess from a tactical standpoint, there is no reason to even judge what this team is capable of based on last years debacle.

I also think having a ready-made QB to take over will be big for the transition. It's obviously a new system for Braxton, but having that weapon will surely help Meyer integrate his philosophy. Chris Leak was good, but surely an adjustment.

I think 11-1 or 10-2.

 

[muffler dragon]

9-3. I'll be pissed about each loss, but I intend on being full-on giddy with the result of the last game of the year.

The difference being that Ohio State's defensive staff carried over mostly intact.

Just one more TD per game & the team been 11-1 last season. The Buckeyes won't need a 35 pt offense to run the table this year.

 

[Zurp]

Looking at last year's schedule, I STILL don't see 6 losses. But they happened.
I picked 9-3. I don't actually SEE 3 losses. But that was my guess.

 

[LitlBuck]

I think the media is underrating us. We lose at Wisconsin and that's it. I think our defense will win some games for us or should I say losses into wins.
