What's up with you and your confident prognostications? First it was Grunk....now it's OSU.

Really? I don't care for the coach and his lousy attitude but I'm still pulling for Indiana

You're very brave to make this prediction. No one is giving THEE little old Ohio State University football program a chance against the might Hurricane of Miami, let alone, win championship. It's a miracle that the lowly buckeyes are even here to begin with. A true underdog story, I tells ya!

Wife is a Hurricane. I see them play quite a bit. They remind me of the early 2000s PSU teams under Paterno. Strong reliable defense, but no idea what you are going to get from the offense. Keep it close and mostly conservative for four quarters and see what happens at the end kind of team.

Miami's only real shot is their pass rush that forces OSU to run or makes those OSU WRs shorten their routes for nickel and dime type plays that leave you susceptible to picks or knockdowns. Miami's run stopping defense is serviceable as their LBs are pretty good. I don't know that their DBs can hang with the OSU WRs if the refs are going to call handsy PI calls. They have the horses up front to do it, but I don't know if they can do it for four quarters. Miami also has the type of RB who can grind a game and there is an "it" factor with Toney that might be good for a "momentum shifting" kind of play every once in awhile. Beck is not all-world, but they brought him in for his experience in these kind of games, so who knows what he delivers on this type of stage vs the OSU QB who is new to all of this and hasn't played in a few weeks. I would still take OSU if I had to bet the farm.

That would make the portal and NIL blueprint 2.0 to building a program.
Correct--rooting for Indiana, Texas Tech or even Miami is rooting for the portal.
If any of them win we should just set it up so all players are free each year and teams can recruit them come 1/2

I don’t think OSU wins it all. This team is not as dominant as last year. The Miami defense is giving them all they could handle, actually pushing their O-Line all over the field.

duhO$U's running offense has sucked, and been unreliable, all year long - this has led to duhO$U's Offense looking like crap against Top 10 teams. I pointed this out in the Texas game. Against Indiana they had 58 rushing yards and their offense looked like crap (they scored a grand total of 10 points). Tonight, duhO$U has -7 rushing yards and 85 yards total offense (0 points) with only a 1:30 left in 1H.

duhO$U's offense is completely one-dimensional and has been easily defended by top defenses.

Not a bad summary.

You're a moron troll - there, I said it.

LMAO, duhO$U couldn't even win their first CFP Game as a 9.5 point favorite (losing by 10 and it could have easily been worse) - so you weren't even close dipshat.
Buckeye fan here. Miami won fair and square, no excuses. OSU"s oline got exposed the last 2 games. Lost many key guys from last years OL and DL. That is how college football works now. That said, "duhOSU" has 3 NC's in the last 23 years. I'll take it. By the way, every major college team is a "$" now. Good luck to PSU going forward. Michigan lost, that's good. I am going to drown my sorrows in a couple of beers and welcome in the new year.
