Herbstreit is the only one with a lucid thought and he has already stated that ND will return to prominence within 2-3 years once recruiting gets rolling. I'll take his word for it because he's the only one with any sense of football and how the game is played at the college level.

Could not have said it better myself.

KH said any WR recruits would benefit from going to ND in particular.

He's very honest and impartial. Everyone else has agendas. He has even picked against OSU and is honest with himself about the team despite is allegiance.

And he has picked the last three or four national title games correctly, including OSU over Miami.

No he's not. He picks the Buckeyes to win every single week.

Well, Ohio St. is favored to win most games. I pick them almost every week too.

Herbstreit's knowledge and professionalism are second to none. No one else on that network even comes close. He and Jay Bilas are true professionals. He has allegiance to OSU, yes, but he doesn't spoon feed the audience. The fact is, when the crew is in Columbus he gets a huge response and for good reason. I think he does a good job of keeping his obvious alumni status on the far back burner.

And he is already touting ND is a very positive manner, pre Michigan.

Herbstreit is more critical of OSU than other teams. He goes out of the way to be impartial. He said he truly believed that OSU would run the table this year and go to the Rose Bowl -- good for him making that prediction bc he believed it.

Their schedule was set up for them to do it...and they still can. A three point loss at home to Texas in September is not going to hurt them badly if it is their only loss. They may even meet up with the Horns again.

Ohio State will pound Iowa into the tenth level of hell when they come to Columbus. Sorry, but they won't get away with not having a running game this year. Welcome back to Earth, Hawkeyes. And as for Michigan, I don't think they're that good and though they will improve by the time the game rolls around, I like OSU to go up there and beat them. Tressel has done well against UM. OSU and Iowa kids will play harder than the candy ass, Tom Lemming press clipping kids in Ann Arbor.
