Post Up If Your Team Has a Higher SoS Than Ohio State

[Across The Field]

ESPN and CBS are the two who had it at 11. I’m sure ElevenWarriors is much more accurate.

That being said — even if UM had caught every pass — they still would have lost, as OSU’s offense was too good.

I did tell you before the game, if UM could figure out a way to limit Young, they’d be able to throw on them. And they did. Clemson and LSU have better QB’s and WR’s than UM. Don’t know much about their OL’s, but if they give them time — they will be able to do the same.

I still think this is the best OSU team I have seen, including the 2014 team. They may not have a WR as good as Michael Thomas, or a deep threat like Devin Smith and Dobbins may not be as good as Elliott. But Fields is a better QB and as a whole, they are much more complete and can beat you on the ground or in the air.

The only thing I think that could slow them down is if LSU or Clemson figure out a way to slow down Chase Young to give their QB time. Both teams have better athletes at WR than UM and better QB’s than UM and we saw what UM did throwing the ball.

If I had to pick who wins the National Title this year though — I would pick OSU-LSU and a crazy high scoring game, like both teams in the high 40-50 points. I don’t thing either defense will be able to stop the others offense. I think Fields ability to avoid the rush and use his legs will win it for OSU.

That coincided with a stretch in which Michigan dropped five second-half passes and six overall for the game.

Had Shaun Wade been healthy your passing game would have been even less successful. Arnette is very good, but I imagine it is rather difficult to play outside CB with a cast on your hand. There was actually a play he probably would have had an pick but they showed the replay and the ball bounced right off his cast when he tried to catch it

Have you met @UCFhonors yet? He is UCFantastic.

No. Does he also take a fair, equitable and reasonable approach to Ohio State as I do?

 

[Hang_On_Sloopy08]

Right. Week 14 vs. Week 13 SoS "blew up the thread."

The fact is that 50 other teams in America had a stronger SoS than THE mighty Ohio State.

How in the HELL can we anoint this team as one of the top two in the nation with a schedule like that? Clearly, until you beat a legit team, we can't.

Sorry.

You’re thirsty AF, you’re tryin too hard bruh. Just because you’ve been gone all year and a 12-0 #1 season prompted you to logon to run your mouth never go full retard. Had to particularly love you bumping other Ohio State threads. You’re officially triggered or why else did you show up?

Just have some down-time between traveling and nothing is more fun on tHoop than fucking around with insecure Ohio State fans. I have to be careful not to get hooked on this shit again. I'll be traveling 9 time zones on the 13th so that's my safety net. I'll quit tHoop then.

I don't have a problem.

We going to see about that.....

 

[Wild Turkey]

Still on this bit? Damn dude, you’re like that guy at the office who has one good joke and made some people laugh but are still telling the same joke a year later to anyone who’ll listen.

Ohio State cheats.

No, I've been living outside the US since 2012. Just spent 90 days in Europe, my time is up here and it's getting cold where I am so heading out soon.

Well dress warm....

hammer has a never-ending boner for the Buckeyes, this goes back many years. figured that with urban gone, he'd at least have gone down to a semi-rager, but nope, still a raging hard-on for the Scarlet and Grey

Word.
I remember when the Bucks whooped Alabama in the CFP, and hammer melted down to the point where he shut tHoop down for the night.
lolz

I do remember the server literally melting the night of the National Championship in (I think) 2013 then we moved on to the new server and software.

Embarrassment is you not changing your avi of Mannix for a decade. It is good however to see the Buckeyes still rub you raw after all these years - you and Pauly Finebaum.

That is James Garner who was a huge OU Sooner fan his entire life. "Garner was a supporter of the University of Oklahoma, often returning to Norman for school functions. When he attended Oklahoma Sooners football games, he frequently could be seen on the sidelines or in the press box."

Mike Connors played Mannix.

There's actually a good clip on Youtube of Jimmy (as I like to call him) talking to Johnny Carson about being from Oklahoma. His autobiography not long before his death was excellent.

It's easy to have a tough schedule when you're the easy win on everyone else's schedule.... Tennessee..... Tennessee?

You forgot UNLV and Purdue!!!
