Top ten recruits on Ohio St.'s roster. Getting to know 10 recruits of interest on the Ohio State roster

If Miami goes MIA in the final two games, fine. But without one of the best players in CFB, I want Miami to win and tag the Domers with a second loss to go 0-2 vs. the Top-25, and hopefully out of the committee's top-12 from Week 11 through December 6th.

What goes around ... 😁

Without Toney the next 3 games look a lot tougher. @ND v.Duke v.VT. Is it to much to ask for a 3 loss Miami?

A Committee of Juan. 😁 The following ranking is as objective as it gets. But you have to use rankings from some source. This ranking uses ESPN's Strength of Record (SOR) and Strength of Schedule (SOS) Rankings through Week 9. I added a team's SOR and SOS rankings and ranked the top-12 teams by the result. The lower the total, the better the ranking. FYI, Oregon's SOR is 28 + 21 SOS = 49. Not in the top-12, but not far off. 1. Kentucky - SOR 2 + SOS 8 = 10 2. Ole Miss - SOR 7 + SOS 4 = 11 3. Alabama - 8 +7 = 15 4. Florida - 15 + 3 = 18 Tied 5 - Ohio State 9 + 10 and Texas 10 + 9 =19 7. Indiana 4 + 31 = 35 No. 8 LSU - 16 + 23 = 39 Tied 9 - Georgia, Miami, USC - 41 No. 12 - Tennessee - 18 + 25 = 43 GIGO? Perhaps. But the above rankings are based on statistics, not whimsy that has Ohio State ranked 8 places below a team it defeated and ranked 5 places above a team it lost to, a USC team that's 7-2 compared to Ohio State's 6-2. At least one thing that is crystal clear from the committee's 1st ranking: Ohio State should have played a G6 team at home instead of playing at Texas. Yet I'm certain that every committee member in the room wants to see better out-of-conference games.

Luck of the Irish. 🤬

Malachi Toney is having surgery, so Notre Dame’s chances to beat Miami this weekend just got better.

We have a chance, but it's a lot to hope for at this stage. I would be happy at 8-4.

I love it. I well remember their athletic director's condescending remarks in the late 1970s about our financial position.

Obviously it would require winning the Big Ten title game. If you like to play around with W-L scenarios in the B1G, you can go here and do your own prognostications and calculations. https://bball.notnothing.net/big10.php?sport=fb

Local long snapping prospect commits to Oregon footballThe Oregon Ducks are adding a long snapper to their 2027 recruiting class. Jamison Walsh, who also plays tight end and defensive end for Cascade High School in Turner, announced his commitment to the Ducks on Thursday. Walsh is rated a 4.5-star prospect by Rubio Long Snapping, ranked the No. 32 long snapper in the country. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2026/11/local-long-snapping-prospect-commits-to-oregon-football.html

No question a 9-3 Duck team would be worthy to make the CFP. The resume would be strong..... Question is, can they overcome the committee SEC Bias? And in the process climb over enough 9-3 SEC teams? The deck may be stacked against any team that does not win their conference title. Nothing matters unless OBD's handles tOSU this Saturday.... Go Ducks......

That goes hand in hand

What will also be interesting is IF we win, is that we should jump Ohio St. Both three loss teams and a recent head-to-head win. They lost to a SC team that we beat. But would the committee? We already have 'Bama 8 spots above a Tennessee team that pretty much crushed them. An Indiana team that lost to Ohio St. 8 spots above them. I think the explanation was that they placed teams in pods, then compared the teams within the pod and for some reason Ohio St. was not in the same pod as Indiana and Tennessee was not in 'Bama's pod. I've decided to listen to my 3-month-old grandchild for the explanation since his gibberish equals the committee's.

Couldn’t agree more. Great breakdown of how Johnson’s tweaks of the same plays from previous week finally got the offense going. Particularly liked Eric showing the simplifying of reads, and the narrowing of the read range from 80 degrees to 40 degrees in the passing game that allowed DR to get comfortable and confident.

From Ohio Duck No. 16 This would allow the Ducks to make the B1G championship game which and a win would be the sure way to make the playoffs. My biggest rooting this week is for the Ducks to beat Ohio State in Columbus. That is the biggest game of all the college games left to play this year for the Duck's chances. I'm not convinced OBD are out of the playoff picture without a B1G championship game win. Here's why. If the team that played the final 21/2 quarters vs Northwestern is the the Ducks team going forward there is a chance of winning out. Beat Ohio St. in Columbus (certainly a big challenge but doable, I think our back up QB is better than theirs) Beat Michigan at home (not as big a challenge, but take nothing for granted at this point but doable) Beat Michigan St. on the road - definitely doable Beat Washington at home - again definitely doable That's 9-3 with wins over Boise, USC, Nebraska, Northwestern and Ohio St. All in contention for a playoff birth though certainly not sure things. Losses to: Oklahoma St. who has a chance to win out themselves and be 9-3, Texas Tech will be tough, but its a home game and they have not lost at home this season (39 vs OBD is the least they have scored at home). UCLA still undefeated at this time by 2. and Illinois which could be the only really bad loss (looking at their remaining schedule they could end up 5-7, if they manage to go 2-2 the rest of the way they are a respectable 7-5) Given that our worst games were following an injury to our starting QB and it took time to adjust, that we made a needed adjustment in the coaching staff (jury's still out but the first game was promising), we will have won 5 straight games... that 9-3 record vs. one of the tougher schedules in college football and considering the circumstances, presents a good case for the Ducks to be in. I think if we win out and look pretty good doing it, we are in.

This thread is for playoff discussion. The other thread is for playoff articles.

I'm old so my opinion probably doesn't count for much of anything at all. I love the look of these uniforms, but I really do like seeing some of our actual colors from time to time when we're out there.
