  • Those rankings are projections. Its not an advantage until it plays out on the field. A&M had fewer 5*s and they made Bama look silly for 30 minutes. Do I think wed beat Bama 10 out of 10? No, but Ohio State caliber talent we can beat any team on any given Saturday.

    The game is on the field, not on paper

  • I understand all your points about it is played on the field but here is 247 Rankings for the top eight Bama and OSU players:
    Bama: 101, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100
    OSU: 88, 95 , 95, 96,94,,95,98, 95

    So 8 players dominant our 8 players.
    What do you say now.
    PS, I am an OSU fan die hard for over 40 years!

    I dont think any kid in the 90s is going to be dominated. Plus, youve gotta look at the competition and such. Bama has a great class, we have a great class. A number next to a kid whose never stepped onto a D1 field is an unknown. I think our strength and conditioning could very well even things up by January 2014. No worries

  • Yes I believe that we can. For osu thing our spread offense helps negate some of their talent differential and of our kids have more heart than it will also make up the difference.

    Also don't forget about the media effect. The entire time leading upo to the game all our guys will hear is how they don't have a chance. And how osu is terrible against the sec. That anger makes up a huge difference.

    Not worried. We've got very good players who can fly. We can beat anyone.

  • Keep in mind, 247's ranking is how they project in a future NFL draft. Not how they project to the college game.

    Also, keep in mind that there are tons of other talent evaluators across the country. All of which have completely different opinions.

    Furthermore, we don't play the same style as AL.

    If we are head to head with AL and lose most of those battles, then I might be concerned. But that would depend on the variables. Such as where is the recruit from, who did they grow up rooting for, what system do they better fit in, what does the depth chart look like, etc...

    Getting concerned at all over subjective rankings is absurd.

  • Just for the record, the statistics are from 247 on the OSU site and the Bama Site.
    I am an OSU graduate, a lifelong OSU fan......and there is not a bigger Buckeye than me.
    I have planted buckeye trees in the last four non-Ohio states where we lived!
    In WI, I posted a realtor sign at 3 am for the the OSU/WI homecoming nest door.
    It said "House for sail...Moving to Ohio...where real football is played!"

    You all have good points....but voted 4 down does not make sense when you were just asked what you think.
    Maybe I should post a topic all roses for OSU?
    This is a discussion.....the over all view wins.

    I gave you +1 in the future just remember you will get down voted if you are critical or question anything to do with this team you just have to realize that it actually says nothing about how good of a poster you are. I think you had a somewhat valid question. Star rankings do not necessarily mean how successful a player will be but given my druthers I will take my chances more often than not with 5* guys than 2 and 3 stars. I am absolutely happy with our class and finishing 2nd overall. Bama has the best class but they are also riding the coattails of 3 out 4 natty champs, and they should be.
    In the future you have to just make your point and live with what people will say about it. I doesn't necessarily mean that you are wrong.
