He's announced he's staying in school. Probably the right decision. Might be passing up 3rd round money of @ $1.2 mill and $800k or so signing bonus. Get some insurance protection and improve as a QB. I actually think JT Barrett is the better QB - more polished and versatile but this makes for a very interesting QB competition in Columbus starting in a few months.

Now the focus shifts to where is Braxton Miller going to transfer. I'm ok with anywhere and wish him the best as long as he moves south, east or west. Not north. This is all so crazy. The two time B1G player of the year will likely be voted off the island and the team MVP (Barrett) may or may not start next year. Good problem to have I guess.
 
Won't claim it's an SEC West schedule (which wouldn't be as strong as conventional wisdom claims) but there are nine bowl teams in the schedule. And, with the exception of Michigan State, Florida State will probably play one of these teams in their bowl game next year. :)

That is a LAME schedule,cant help the Big 10 schedule,but good grief,the out of conference is ridiculos.

BTW,saying your playing 6 bowl teams or whatever means nothing any more,6-6 gets you in a bowl,back when there were only 12 or 15 bowl games it meant something.
 
Teams play Lame easy Schedules like that then wonder why there not ranked #1 after going 12-0 or 11-1 Lol really?? OHIO ST. was a good team this season but its hard to rank a team in the top 4 thats Played NO ONE all year.
 
You guys make it too easy. Like taking candy from a baby. These schedules are set years in advance. When Va Tech was originally scheduled, they were actually good.

UT was 6-6 last year while eking out victories over Arkansas State and Vanderbilt, but I give them credit for dominating the likes of Utah State and UT Chattanooga. Here's that intimidating 2015 non-conf schedule topped by the most overrated team in the land, Oklahoma, based on preseason 2014 ranking (#4) to end of season ranking (out of the top 25). http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa/sec/ten ... nteers.php.

How about Florida State? http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa-15/acc/ ... hedule.php Doesn't appear to be set. Such an intimidating program, no one wants to play them I guess. Oh, but watch out for that upset special - Texas State. Hope Jimbo remembers to watch the UT vs UTC game film to figure out how to beat the Mocs.

Alabama? Give them credit for opening with Wisconsin, but how are they going to handle the Warhawks, Blue Raiders, and the Buccaneers? http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa-15/sec/ ... hedule.php.

Check the scoreboard!
 
VATech is an ok team,but good grief the rest????? BTW Bama,Lsu,Gergia,usually play a good opener,or have been lately,plus playing in the SEC.Even though I don't like FLA ST,hard for a Big 10 guy to bust on their schedule,the ACC mostly sucks,but they Play Fla every year,Notre Dame this year and one other "good" out of conference team I think.
 
Not defending the schedule, just pointing out that those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

As this article does so well in pointing out, thankfully with the CFP the SEC superiority fraud has been exposed. https://secexposed.wordpress.com/.

Hey SEC fans, you lost and you lost a lot of bowl games to all of those lesser teams from those lesser conferences. The ACC whooped your butts last season. The best of the Big 10 beat the best of the SEC. No, correct that, dominated them and kicked their arses back to Tuscaloosa. For those SEC fans whose team won their bowl game, congratulations, big whooped dee do da.

Pointing out flaws in OSU's schedule without recognizing that the same flaws exist in your favorite SEC team's schedule and then contending, based solely on your own bias and hyperbole, that "well, even if we play even weaker non-conference teams overall and even if only one of those non-conference teams went to a bowl game, those non-conf bowl teams that OSU will play in 2015 went only 6-6 and to lesser bowls" (as if a 6-6 UT and the TaxSlayer.com bowl is something different), we still play a much stronger conference schedule. Based on what? Your opinion? It gets settled on the field now, not in the boardroom of ESPN. And, with the legitimate arguments that TCU has, don't be surprised that not one of your teams from that bastion of football power the SEC (not) gets into the playoff next year. That would be a delight and the only outcome that will be better than that probability is a back-to-back national championship for the Buckeyes.

Now, this is where you start pointing out how Ohio State fans are obnoxious. The reality is that we and every other college football fan outside of the SEC just reach a point where the bias, obnoxiousness, and ignorance of the typical SEC fan makes us jump up and scream CHECK THE SCOREBOARD!!!!!
 
You won A game against sec. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in while.

Vandy could take that schedule and make it to playoff, muster up a win with 4 weeks to prepare, and make it to national championship. [emoji2]
Heck as long as you are up for one or two games then you got it made.

Let's see where you fall when schedule rankings come out. Of course ESPN and media has always been biased toward the big 10. I know it broke their heart having to watch sec dominate for so long. So we didn't make it to championship game one year and all of sudden sec has been over rated all these years. Haha, it's funny how media, and folks like you, were waiting for first opportunity to dog sec and try to down play how good sec has been.

Good point. Who knows. He could be a good or even great NFL QB or flame out. I think he made the right decision.

Ugh. It's like beating one's head against a wall. Not saying the SEC has not been good or that it is not good. Just that it is over-rated.

Can't win on the field so make a spurious argument based on strength of schedule. Strength of schedule is a losing argument.

By the way, the Big 10 was 2-2 against the SEC in bowl games this year.

MO over MN (Citrus)

Wisky over Auburn (Outback)

UT over Iowa (Taxslayer.com)

OSU over Bama (Sugar)

"Ohio State Just Can't Beat SEC Teams in Bowl Games

Not even the most die-hard Ohio State fan could deny it: The Buckeyes have been simply awful against the SEC.

How awful? This awful: The Buckeyes have never beaten an SEC team in a bowl game. They've had nine chances, too.

The failures have been magnified in the past two seasons, as the Buckeyes have been blown out in back-to-back BCS Championship games -- first by Florida (2007), then by LSU (2008) -- but the truth is, Ohio State's struggles against the SEC date all the way back to 1977, when they were pummeled by Alabama, 35-6, in the Sugar Bowl. What is most remarkable about the SEC's dominance over Ohio State, however, may be the fact that it has continued even during the Jim Tressel era. Tressel has delivered just about everything Ohio State fans could want -- dominance over Michigan, Big Ten titles, a national championship -- but even he can't seem to break the Buckeyes' SEC jinx."

I'm not detracting from their Championship this year, they proved it on the field. But until THE Ohio State garners more than ONE Bowl win over an SEC opponent then "the SEC is overrated" mantra won't hold much water around here. :poke:
 
A link please to this article from the sweater vest era.

I understand most of you consider OSU's championship was an aberration. The alleged SEC dominance was a period of 10 years give or take. I also don't think any of the SEC fans fully appreciate how the ending of over-signing is going to impact your football programs since the SEC was the last conference to end it.

agree he is a big strong guy but reminds a lot of a smaller Jamarcus Russell. Problem is that if he isn't very smart- which is a real possibility- he will not be able to grasp the NFL defensive schemes designed to fool him. Jamarcus surely couldn't read one
 
Thanks RB and GoB for putting the thread back on track.

Lots of very good college QBs run into that problem. Heath Schuler certainly did and it appears Johnny Manziel is as well. Interestingly, I heard an interview of Kurt Warner today and he thinks Mariota will as well. Probably more have difficulty making the transition than don't.

We don't get a thanks on here much since most wear orange color glasses and takes their pain from the last several yrs. out on others. I don't have any hard feelings against Meyer or Ohio because its all business and he is home. CJ could be a very good NFL qb and its a great college story... :)
 
I agree he has physical tools, but I have no idea about the mental part. he wont be able to run over NFL linebackers like he did the hapless Oregon run defense

Agreed. That's why I think it was a good decision by him to stay. Get coached up and more polish.
