Come On.. It's Ohio State.. They got 5 star kids on the 3rd team.. Give me a break.. They just are not that good.They’re short handed.

Um, 5 stars or 3 stars, there is a reason why they are 3rd team. OSU was down 21 guys, and many key ones including Olave, I don’t care who you are that is difficult. I’m no OSU fan, but they will be fine when/if they get all those guys back.Come On.. It's Ohio State.. They got 5 star kids on the 3rd team.. Give me a break.. They just are not that good.
Even at full strength. This team is a dog in the spread to Alabama, Clemson, or ND. I could see Alabama be at -13 to -15 favorite over the FULL OSU team. Trevor Lawrence will expose their pass defense like IU did..Um, 5 stars or 3 stars, there is a reason why they are 3rd team.

Uh, if you want to give me 15 , I’ll take it, I don’t care who they are playing. I think Alabama is the best team, but to pretend OSU is not in the class of the FF4 teams is a mistake.

I'm really starting to dislike him. Alot. He is turning into an arrogant prick. If he really wants sympathy for fOSU, then he lives in fantasy land.Ryan day sobbing about Ahia playing through "unbelievable adversity" all year.
LOL
You had weeks off to rest and stay healthy then the league got together and changed the rules that all had agreed on so that your team could play in a game they didn't otherwise qualify for.
You had ZERO adversity Ry Ry...you were very fortunate this season and you are going to get your ass handed to you in your next game.
And the world outside of Columbustuckey will love it.

And another thing. Not just fOSU, but all coaches and players need to just shut the hell up when they want to talk about how hard it has been to play their game. In the real world people have lost income, jobs, and loved ones. I really don't think they want to hear a sob story from an athlete or coach.I'm really starting to dislike him. Alot.

Nah. What set me off was hearing the same from Trevor Lawrence.Well, fortunately...only Ry Ry and the A-H-I-A nuts had a tough season.
Tell that to the former members of the wrestling team.Oh...and how ironic is it for Ahia to have "Equality" on the back of their helmet?
Not gonna argue but wanted to say something along this line:Um, 5 stars or 3 stars, there is a reason why they are 3rd team.

Being ready is one thing, OSU did win today, but expecting 2nd and 3rd team guys to go out and be as sharp as the first team is completely unrealistic. As I said originally, there is a reason they are 3rd team, and as we know, and many have argued on here, stars from recruiting services often don’t pan out.Not gonna argue but wanted to say something along this line:
Didn't we hear from Rivals the reason that people would get bumped up when committing to an OSU type program was because of their player development compared to a program like IU?
If OSU has a top 10 class every year - I doubt they are 3 star on 3rd team but even if they are their player development should have them ready.
What is your point? Do I think overall the Big Ten is mediocre this year. YES..You do realize that the more overrated OSU is, the more overrated IU.
Maybe a couple years ago but this team is a bunch of high-end players & an above average team. Maybe if OSU would have played a normal season, they would have developed as a team, but their back-end was only challenged once- IU. NU had zero passing game. I'm not saying that they don't have a bunch of NFL players on their roster. They just really have not played enough games to develop as a team. IMO. That is not the case for ND, Clemson, or Alabama; that is 3 stellar passing teams. But we will collect $6M & say thank you. If the B10 looks bad in the final four, it will be blamed on COVID.Uh, if you want to give me 15 , I’ll take it, I don’t care who they are playing.

Olave was a high 3*. A bad - as in inaccurate - rating no doubt . . . but isn't that the point? Olave didn't let it keep him from showing the talent he had.Not gonna argue but wanted to say something along this line:

I'm not buying the argument that Ohio State shouldn't be in the College Football Playoff. I know the score was closer than expected today and they shot themselves in the foot several times. But if you watched more than just the scoreboard they were dominant, especially in the second half. To not give them credit for doing so while being significantly short-handed is silliness. Who are you going to put in ahead of Ohio State?

Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints, Wide Receiver

The thing I like most about this staff is their ability to find talent where the rating agencies haven't. 😉
Did I say that???? He was their only starter that was below a 4 star level? You’re not helping your argument
I was saying that OSU has a roster full of recruits rated generally higher than ours and Tom Allen has built depth by playing a lot of people so I did not feel sorry for OSU having to dig into that depth.The thing I like most about this staff is their ability to find talent where the rating agencies haven't. 😉
So they developed 1 player? Maybe you’re talking about IU but your entire post is about OSU??
And I like Tuttle, but our offense was NOT the same with him versus Penix, and that is the point. I’m not in any way detracting from Tuttle, he stepped in admirably , and won the game. But even Sheridan said he called a more conservative game because the back up was starting. With scholarship limits of 85, it’s foolish to think ANY team will not have a drop off from 1st to 2nd to 3rd team, again there is a reason why a kid is 3rd team. Not to say that 3rd teamer won’t ever be any good, but in the case of the OL for instance, he may be a freshman who hasn’t developed physically yet, or doesn’t have the footwork, or doesn’t have a complete grasp of the playbook or protections. To just say, “they should have a 5 star “ on the 3rd team ready to go, is well, not reality.I was saying that OSU has a roster full of recruits rated generally higher than ours and Tom Allen has built depth by playing a lot of people so I did not feel sorry for OSU having to dig into that depth.
I felt it was bad coaching to not have the 3rd team on a roster full of Top 10 recruiting classes ready to play...JT had to go against UW in his first EVER start. Suck it up OSU.
Sope was pointing out that he agreed for the most part while pointing out Olave was a 3* when I stated OSU did not have many of them.
I like people as long as they agree with me .
Totally agree on JT. He should have had more meaningful snaps before the UW game. That , IMO, is an issue I have with IU this year. Your #2 QB has to have more meaningful minutes ahead of a game like that.And I like Tuttle, but our offense was NOT the same with him versus Penix, and that is the point.

OSU was missing 20+ guys, not 1, Fields clearly had a throwing hand issue, yet they found a way for Sermon to set a single game rushing record against a pretty stout rush defense. Their OL looked pretty damn good to me. I’m no OSU fan, but minimizing their personnel losses for this game is a mistake. At the end of the day , they won by double digits and had the ball on Northwestern’s 2 yard line to end the game, yes, it was sloppy, but they won going away. I may well be wrong, but if they have their roster healthy, and make the FF4, I think they will hold their own.
Care to revisit your thoughts in this thread ? OSU is flat out curb stomping ClemsonCome On.. It's Ohio State.. They got 5 star kids on the 3rd team.. Give me a break.. They just are not that good.
Go Bama!!Care to revisit your thoughts in this thread ? OSU is flat out curb stomping Clemson
Nailed it.Even if they win.. Not very good..
