You guys know I like Lebron as a basketball player, but he's such a freaking bandwagon cfb fan. When Bama was winning titles he was a Bama fan, now he's an OSU fan.

I think he's simply a fan of success. He likes to see people succeed and put himself around that.

In the last two years theres been a pretty clear trend about PI. If the CB is looking at the ball he can mug the WR, if he's not looking he can't make any contact.

Ha. Sorry, I thought italics weren't needed. That was definitely PI

VT really isn't anythig special. Even when they went up in the first half, I had zero confidence they could keep it up. VaTech is very small.

Athletes everywhere on offense. Team is going to be explosive and will probably score 200 points through their first 4 games.

Considering their next three games they should.

I take a back seat to no one in my utter contempt for Ohio State, but I think that offense is going to be tough to handle. And if Jones get offtrack, like he appeared in the second quarter, they just go to Barrett. Add in a wild card Braxton and Ezekiel and other good receivers....tough -- not saying impossible, but tough -- to match up with that.

They didn't even play well and were on the road and were missing multiple players and still looked dominant. Maybe MSU can bully them and win an ugly game, but I don't see how they lose this year. I don't think they're necessarily steps above the other contenders, but they are leaps and bounds above the rest of the B1G IMO.

Seriously, and i love how on ESPN Braxton Miller talks about his comeback and says "all the glory to god i just stay humble....etc" Really?? Humble is shushing the crowd/ team and doing whatever that dance thing Lebron does? Ok

I agree their schedule is a joke. They play one more team all year. The committee should penalize them for beating Western Michigan and Northern Illinois.

We'll see. They penalized FSU last year, but they were barely winning games. If OSU is winning every game by 14+, I would guess they'll be #1 the whole season.

Yeah if they destroy people it will be hard to penalize them. FSU got punished for looking like shit for 3 1/2 quarters in all of their games and squeaking by. FSU was a fraud last year and got exposed hard against Oregon.

You can say the same thing about our 2012 run, the only actually good teams we beat that year were Oklahoma and Stanford.

Question. If OSU loses to its only remaining quality opponent (MSU), but win the BIG conference championship. Are they a shoe in for the playoffs still?

OSU should walk through the B1G without much effort this year. But waiting in the wings will be one or two teams that won't be pushovers. The Buckeyes have some fundamental weaknesses and aren't as great as they are being made out to be. Time will tell just how good they are or just how bad some of their weaknesses are.

Depends.

SEC and Pac12 champs are a lock IMO regardless of record, so:

Undefeated Big 12, ACC champ, one loss ND > OSU, and if MSU beats them, Sparty may be the B10 champs anyways.

*I see OSU only getting better as the year goes on, and once they figure out all they need to do is pound the ball, and not manage 20 egos on offense, they will be close to unstoppable
