Aside from the consensus pick of Bowling Green being at the top of the East, the rest of the division was a toss-up. Most preseason polls had OU anywhere from 2nd to 4th. Bowling Green, barring a severe meltdown, will enter the OU game as double digit favorites, having destroyed the Bobcats the last...

Frankly, Michigan is playing like the 2nd best team in the conference right now. The only reason I give OSU the edge is talent level. They get N'western, MSU, and the Bucks in Ann Arbor. Wouldn't surprise me to see them go 2-1 in those games. Michigan State are posers.

I think the cats were underrated this year. Picked third in the division I think?? Looking good right now, should be an easier game next weekend against Miami (OH). Ohio should win 8 games, give or take 1. This is a game I truly thought that OU would win by 10 points or so. The offense was inconsis...

Teams that play on Labor Day traditionally play DII teams the following Saturday and many of them struggle. #13 Va Tech lost to James Madison the Saturday after losing to #3 Boise State on Labor Day back in '10 - and then went on to win 11 in a row en route to the Orange Bowl. It's kind of like the ...

First of all, OSU did not "struggle to win." Hawaii was manhandled by OSU's defense. 14-0 at halftime might as well have been 41-0. Bosa's return was immediately felt and Vonn Bell was fantastic. There will be times this year when the offense sputters and it will be up to the defense to ke...

For years, the arguments against OSU were: 1) weak schedule and 2) no conference championship game. Both arguments went against the Big 12 teams last year (and will this year if/when one or both lose). Get over it. While I personally would like to see an 8-team playoff (mainly just for the sake of m...

Buckeyes by two scores. VT is going to be better than last year, though. Darkhorse to appear in the ACC championship. They could very well be ranked by the end of the year.

The Cocktail Bowl?

Florida State/Florida?

Both of these assume that Florida gets back to relevance.

I'll definitely be at that Purdue game.

Good to have both seo_fan and peake on here still after all these years. I'm a fairly seasoned veteran on here (I spend more time on the HS football forum, though) and its good to see others still around.

I absolutely love the non-conference schedule. Quality opponents with track records of success (ok, not so much Hawaii). Northern Illinois and Oregon are the only two schools to have won at least 11 games each of the last 5 years. Western Michigan will be tough again, as well. VT has been in a bowl...

After watching this game and others like it over the last 6 or 7 years, I can honestly say I have no idea why a recruit who honestly wanted to win a national championship would choose Ohio State. The program, just like when John Cooper was there, is a publicist - a self-important, bloated national-T...

I hope it's nothing resembling a classic. A night game in front of possibly the largest crowd ever at Ohio Stadium including blue chip recruits against an unranked opponent should be grounds for a mauling.

^^^ Agree. Yeah, the Bengals should've won this by 14+ but the whole playoff-eligible AFC North blew important games yesterday. Either way the Bengals were going to have to beat Pittsburgh. The Colts are obviously going to be in. The AFC is a complete wash this year and 9 wins can get you the playof...

The Cowboys have given up 14 sacks in the last 4 games (7 against Cleveland). The Bengals' d-line is one of their strongsuits so hopefully they can get after him.

And the Bengals have to play the Steelers and the Ravens, already being down a game to the Colts. I say they at least have to win 3 of the last 4. Ever since the conferences expanded to 4 divisions, 10 wins just don't go as far as they used to.

And two super bowl wins in those past ten years too...But it goes back longer than that in all reality. Well of course there's no denying that since the early 70s, the Steelers have been one of the premier franchises in the NFL. I started with last decade - let's just dub it the "Marvin Lewis ...

I don't follow the NFL nearly as closely as I used to. I used to be a die-hard Steeler fan as many on here probably remember, but I lost a lot of interest in the league as I began to feel (like many do) that they were softening the game and being overzealous with safety precautions. I digress. I now...

Gotta go with Kelley. Ohio State was irrelevent for a season. Notre Dame has been irrelevent for 20 years.
