idk to me to me if Ohio State had a QB I don't think it would even be a question that they're the best team frfr
I agree with @bruin except swap FSU and Georgia. Whoever wins the B1G and PAC is in assuming no upsets in the mix.
For Oregon, there isn't really a likely scenario where they make the conference shampionship let alone the playoff if they lose to USC because of tiebreakers so they really have to win out the regular season and make the CCG or the season is a bust. It's similar to 2014 for them.

i think the mizzou game is an interesting test for UGA but they annihilated florida and kentucky who were supposed to be at least competitive. they are easy #1 to me.
michigan has played no one but they have shown up every week. havent allowed more than 10 points. #2
washington and flazzu co #3 due to good wins (SQUAD/lsu) but both have laid an egg against bad teams (DILLY/bc). they are very dependent on good qb play.
then id put tOSU #5 because i just dont think they can keep up with the better offensive teams. we know nothing about their D.
all the 7-1 teams have a lot of HARD WORK WORK to do.

Idk when I watch Ohio state I see a team carried by their defense but idk I’m not gon’ die on that hill. I do think that with the talent they have on their roster that if they had a QB they’d be boat racing everybody doe. Idk how a team with so many CROOTS managed to miss on such a key position lol.

yeah i give them more leeway for sleepwalking though. washington couldnt score a TD against ASU and they were outgained. BC outgained flazzu by 100.

carried against whom? they havent played any offenses worth mentioning. they did the same thing last year then allowed 45 and 42 in their last 2 games. no good team is gonna fear a ryan day HARD NOSE d team based on anything but crootin stars. they will have to win a shootout and mccord has been a bum.
I think Ohio State D is legit but if a team can shut down MASERATI MARV they have almost nothing else. McCord is a bum and Marv bails him out constantly.
The bigger question is still MEATCHICKEN. Have they played any team with a pulse yet? No. Penn State will be the first.

yeah, my argument is almost entirely just that their offense is terrible and their defense looks legit af to me. All the fake stats more or less agree for what it's worth but I get what you're saying. Hopefully Oregon will be the team putting up 45 or 42 in their last game of the year!

(They might legitimately be the 4th best team in the Big Ten East. Debatable whether they have a pulse, but it was the one semi-competitive game Michigan was in.)

Is OSU similar to the Michigan teams pre-2021? They are clearly really good, but they have some gaping holes that mean they are not quite up there with the best teams. This OSU team has a mediocre OL and QB. The defense is good, but it wasn't great against the only offense they've played with a pulse (Notre Dame).

He was frustrating last year because he was inconsistent and very hesitant to throw downfield. So far this season, he’s really turned it up. He’s got the potential to put up numbers comparable to Joey Franchise.

i think it's more that we just dont know. a lot of these corches take a steep decline once they dont have ROBO QB to bail them out. what big games has tOSU won in recent years with day by relying on their D? hell, he made CRISTOBUM's career.
Hahaha this is perfect. I literally told my wife last night how much I hate these. I ate one out of the bag of candy we have for tonight and as I was still chewing 10 minutes later I finally spit it out. It has no crunch or taste other than just pure sweet sugar. Gross.

Against Penn State 2 weeks ago? But yes, you're right.
OSU had 3 straight first round QBs before McCord. Even with OSU's rivalzzzzz stars, you aren't going to hit on every 5 star. They were bound to have at least one shitty QB.
I don't know that it's a huge indictment on a coach to not be dominant without ROBO QB. The only coaches that have been consistently dominant without that QB are Saban and Smart (and arguably Harbaugh the last few years). Not every team can compete for a national title every single year. Most teams need to have everything perfect to win it all.

agreed but saban, smart, harbaugh are defensive corches/or can rely on HARD NOSE. look at bama this year, yeah, without good qb play they looked as vulerable as they have been in quite a while.
i wouldnt be as skeptical if they had a run game. they have talented guys but seems like they have been hurt all year.

I think we actually have a pretty clear picture rn
in a great spot if they don't majorly fuck up:
winner of Michigan-Ohio State is in as long as they only have 1 loss. both have a chance to get in again since there are so few 1 loss teams left already
Georgia is an auto-bid unless they lose 3
...
leaves 2 spots. maybe 1 if Ohio state/michigan only lose to hisselfs.
....
control destiny/small margin for error
bama will get in if they win out, or with 2 losses if they beat Georgia in CCG, they are in a great spot. they would get in over ohio state/michigan loser
flazzu or Washington can afford to lose 1 as long as they win CCG. Washington would get the nod if they both have 1 loss.
in a good spot if all the right things happen:
oregon is 100% in if they win out and beat Washington. if they win out and beat usc or OSU prolly more like 80%? pac-12 1 loss team will get in over flazzu 1 loss acc champ. Oregon is out with another loss (I think it's very unlikely they beat all of USC, OSU, TBD in CCG)
enormous long shot/they suck/need a lot of help
texas
oklahoma
- guys, okie state and Iowa state are a combined 8-2 in this trash league. texas/ou gonna play each other again. I guess if one of them runs the table they'll be under consideration (especially Texas since they beat bama). but I bet both drop at least 1 more game.
if they win out, sure, but they won't
penn state
ole miss
mizzou
if they win out (they won't) will get snubbed

only current 2 loss team with a chance

I still worry a bit about the USC game despite their defense because if it turns into a medium/high scoring type game that’s tight in the 4th it could come down to just who has the ball last type situation and their offense is still really potent. It’ll be at home and I’m reasonably confident but it’s definitely possible that the ducks lose.
I was there in 2011.
I feel pretty good about the civil war and the rest of the schedule though.
