Something needs to happen. They almost played each other in the conference championship a week before their "rivalry" game. Probably messes a bit with the bowl scheduling too. It would be kind of cool if the NFL got rid of their third Thanksgiving game to make room for Army-Navy.

The following was a while back but I remember Larinitaus making an interception against us and absolutely getting crushed by one of our RBs. I think it was when we went to Ohio St. and broke their home game winning streak. Long time ago. But I think I remember our RB was small but muscular and became a pro. Was it Jamal Charles?

I remember thinking that LB is not very good or our RB is a cannonball. I could not understand how a LB could get crushed by someone clearly smaller.

[pgardn]

Maybe it was AJ Hawk…?

My father was extremely impressed with that hit.

"...On the last weekend of November 2024, there wasn't a head coach on a hotter seat in college football than Ohio State’s Ryan Day.

The team was fresh off of a 17-10 home loss versus the 7-5 Michigan Wolverines that kept them out of a fourth consecutive Big Ten Championship Game. Since taking over for former head coach Urban Meyer in 2018, Day has had more losses to Michigan (4) than Big Ten titles (3) and hasn’t won a single national championship.

In the wake of potential buyout talks, Day has delivered postseason success that many of his detractors didn’t believe was possible...."

There doesn't seem to be a reason why FBS can't have a playoff like the FCS. 22 relevant bowl games would be a bonanza for all parties involved. Might as well do it since any pretense of the "student-athlete" has ended.

The only arguments I ever heard was "it's too much stress on the students and extra games could mean more injuries".....

And yeah, meanwhile the FCS kept trucking along.

Decent article on the history of why it kept getting shot down year after year:

[pgardn]

I would do the same.

One interesting point is if this year was 4 teams, Ohio St does not get in most likely.
They were the best team by the end of the year. The Michigan loss lit a fire.
The problem I have is the first part of the season is not worth enough. I value consistency. Just don’t lose.
And I definitely get rid of conference championships. Play more games in conference and then write up the same crazy tie breakers they already have for getting into the conference championships to determine the champion of the league.

Will be interesting to see if we get undefeated National Champion teams in CFB again. In the pros, the Miami Dolphins really accomplished something I guess. Because pro football is built for parity, CFB is not at present or past.

We now have regular season, then two separate playoffs in CFB. Very messy.

Maybe they think he does not last long.
I have not seen enough of all of them but I know Jeanty had wiggle with more speed and took on secondary guys more.
Skattebo seemed to find DL to wrestle with it seems as well as running over smaller guys. And then you got pass pro and ability to run the correct routes out of the backfield.
Again, I did not see enough of either but this could be what Mel and some others see.
Skattebo is also not that big for the style of running he used in college. Avoidance of collisions with large humans is preferred for longer usage I guess.

I wonder where they have Jeanty going overall? As high as Bijan? 8th?

[Blake]

The thing about Jeanty for me was his level of competition. When Boise got to the playoffs his numbers were nice but nothing spectacular.

Not sure he's the #1 back in my book but still should be fun to watch in the NFL

Yeah this is where it gets difficult. The way he rag dolled guys in the secondary was quite unique imo.
The thing is he may have had obvious holes to get to speed to show the attributes off. ( sort of an eg of what you mentioned)
Bijan did not rag doll guys like that. He was often jumping into and back out of openings that collapsed or just jumped here to there in the backfield to avoid getting tackled for big loses. I think the pros saw this along with his ability on pass routes. Bijan did not have the Oline to show off as much imo. I use Bijan as an example mainly because I saw him encounter what should have been very frustrating difficult situations for him numerous times. Numbers could have been huge with some blocking in Big 12.
