Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Player retention strategy works great when you recruit top 5 every year like the Buckeyes do. They aren’t paying 20 million a year to keep squirrel whites, Telander and Jalen Smiths of the world. They certainly pay both coordinators elite money. Both over 2 million a year. Entirely different model being used in Columbus. It’s ran like an NFL factory.
They also didn’t have to raise their program from the ashes. I don’t know why people really expected our roster and recruiting to be on par with Ohio state by year 4.

In the last 20 years, they've won double digit games in 18. 1 of those years was Covid shortened, and they went 7-1. There is no way to expect us to be on par with them.

Plus, until this year, their schedule wasn't even remotely the same as ours when we have to play Bama, UGA, and UF ever year.
 
Don't believe there will be any changes to CFP format til the 2026-2027 season. When the playoffs are expanded to 14 or 16 teams.

The "B1G dominance of the SEC" narrative of the day is peculiar.**

B1G total playoff wins over SEC teams:
Oregon 0
Penn State 0
Indiana 0
Ohio Taint 2
Ohio Taint wins over B1G teams: also 2

Total B1G playoff wins over non-SEC teams (excluding OSU):

Penn State: 2 (SMU, Boise :rolleyes: )
Oregon: 0
Indiana: 0

Just say Ohio Taint beat hell outta erbody. That would be honest.

**Of course when Finebaum hopped on the train, you knew something dumb was afoot.
They'd say the same for Bama and UGA in recent history.
