Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Ohio State's offensive line without McLaughlin at center and Simmons at OT is... really not great for a top 10 team.

With McLaughlin they have the #12 interior OL in my player evaluation system. Without him they drop to #48. They looked like it against Michigan.

With Simmons they're #34 at OT. Without him they drop to #63.

Overall they've got the #59 offensive line. Below Mississippi State and Kentucky. and 4 spot above Vanderbilt.

Meanwhile we're #9 at the interior DL and #5 on the edge (with Pearce Jr. as the #1 edge player in the country).

LET'S EAT.

It will all come down to how much do the zebras allow them to hold.

Hey Bama, no shame in the Reliaquest Bowl. Welcome back to reality and hopefully another Dubose-Francione-Price-Shula era! Too many spoiled “social media era” Bama fans out there who are quick to forget life before Nick Saban. The Vols are here to stay, and really just back where we belong after stepping on our own feet for too long!

Cole is awesome. He recognizes and acknowledges our physicality.

I was telling a buddy yesterday that I really like this matchup for us. I think it all comes down to how we play on the road, do our WRs step up, and can Sampson make some noise?

It’s incredibly obvious how much Dari Nowkhah hates Tennessee.

He’s an OU alum.

I don’t see how it makes any sense that penn st is above osu

They finished second in the BIG and Ohio State finished third. It’s that simple.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Never heard of that bowl game..lol..Is it a new one??

Former Outback Bowl

I know he is but it doesn’t matter. He loves all things Kirby and Saban.

Yea, but that doesn’t mean much anymore with unbalanced schedules. Ultimately, they both lost to Oregon. Penn State beat Illinois, but OSU beat Penn State and Indiana.

Just look at Indiana’s conference schedule. Awful.

Just locked in tickets for the playoff matchup.
I’m juiced.
Spot the ball.

Can’t leave out Texa$. No ranked wins to their name. Got whooped at home by the only ranked team they played and lost that same team again without out their starting QB

Yep, good point. At least their only losses were to the SEC champ, but having zero decent wins shouldn't let them be ranked so highly.

 

[dmwvol12]

Here comes the threats and the whining by the privileged.

What a whiny b!+ch. they lost too Vanderbilt and got slaughtered by 6-6 Oklahoma. They should have never been under consideration. They are so used to preferential treatment they can’t handle reality. I HATE ALABAMA.

 

[Orange_Crush]

No one likes the reverse centaur.

 

[Orange.]

And notice that “y’all” refers to the SEC Network. WTF.

"I don't know why y'all question [Tennessee] so much.

Were you on one of those TLC “Sex sent me to the ER” shows?

Anyone see that Fowler and Herby will be calling our game.

Yuck.

 

[Orange.]

Dari: "At the Shoe!?"

F that guy.

It does provide insight as to why the committee thought it so important that we not host. It is was easy to manipulate: just overrate some of OSU’s untested opponents.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

He murdered that rim.
