Win or lose, Saturday’s game vs Texas is a positive for Ohio State (but I’d much prefer win)
Let’s get this out of the way at the very top.

Last week ATS: 16-9 (4-3 National, 12-6 B1G) Last week was about as good of a start to the season as we could have asked for. About the only things that are sticking with me is trusting Rutgers as a 30-point favorite over UMass last Thursday, along with seeing Ohio State cover late. Had the […]

Column: Should big programs like Ohio State even bother to recruit high school QBs anymore?
The current college football landscape is almost completely different than it was even five years ago. Players can legally and rightfully be paid for their services, 12 teams make the College Football Playoff (and likely soon to be even more) and nobody recruits their own quarterbacks anymore. Rather than recruiting and developing a player out […]

The first full week of the college football season is in the books. Now it’s time for some knee-jerk reactions.
