it's the middle of July and media days are starting for college football. great time to start up a thread to see what should be an improved Big10 this season (Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, Northwestern, and Wisconsin all look to be top25 teams --- Michigan State & Penn State may push for a spot).
also, just in case it's been awhile since you have seen a wolverine get killed in his native habitat:
Quote: We'll see about that on October 4, 2014 when OSU travels to College Park to find out what it feels like to play in a real big high school stadium.
lol
ps - nothing brings a smile to my face quite like a college football topic.
Everything I read about Clowny says that he has too big of an ego to rest on his name. Time will tell if he maintains that attitude once the cash starts flowing in but for now, I wouldn't worry about it.

You're assuming the cash isn't already flowing in. Come on, this is the SEC we're talking about.
“...Iguodala to Curry, back to Iguodala, up for the layup! Oh! Blocked by James! LeBron James with the rejection!”
Quote: Intrested in seeing how Clowney does after all this media hype, Will he work to get better or just sit back get lazy and try to live off the media.
Projected 1st pick in the draft, hit of the century against Michigan the NFL is his if he works for it...gonna be intresting.
The thing that sucks for him is that I don't think he can up his value any more. Not from that position. DE is a premier position, but not like QB, on top of the fact that he's already gotten so much pub. He can only maintain what he has, and hope that he avoids injury, but man, what a freak.
I still think that come next April, a QB gets picked first, but if he keeps his pace up, he will go right after.
I'm pretty excited for the upcoming season, especially being an Ohio State fan and actually having something to get excited about. All we had last year was seeing Urban install his new systems, and kicking Michigan's ass.
Now we can get back into that mode of every game being crucial. If you're like me, and you root for all 3 Cleveland teams and Ohio State football, aside from OSU hoops, we haven't been able to have playoff/do-or-die type games since 2010 with the Cavs final run with Lebron and Ohio State having a decent run that ended up with the Sugar Bowl win. It's been awhile.
I root for OSU hoops, and I was all for the Blackhawks on their cup run, but those and everyone else pale in comparison to the Browns, Cavs, Indians, and OSU football for me.

Vegas Futures" odds have the following Big Ten teams in the top 25 as far as becoming National Champs.
#2 Ohio State #15 Michigan #16 Nebraska #21 Michigan State #24 Wisconsin
I've had a little extra at home time this past week so I've been watching the Big Ten Network. Saw some great games where Michigan got their asses handed to them big time.
Quote: if bama, buckeyes, florida state and texas are all undefeated who goes? the buckeys might be in trouble with there soft schedule.
Yeah those teams play some real powerhouses in Nevada, Bethune-Cookman, Idaho, New Mexico St., BYU, Colorado St., Georgia St., and Chattanooga as part of their non-conference schedules.

If tOSU and Alabama go undefeated they will play for the NT, I don't care who goes undefeated ... there already hyping this as "the game" ... besides, Texas and FSU aren't little sisters, but there names don't compare to those 2 ... JMHO

Hey! Don't be putting down Chattanooga.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
those other teams don't have to play perdue, Indiana, ill, buffalo, vandy, cal {ranked last in the pac 12}. penn state etc. 9 cup cakes. the truth of the matter is the buckeyes have the softest schedule of those 4 teams.
do you agree that if there is more than 2 undefeated teams the should take the 2 with the harder schedules. bama plays in the hardest conference in the country. besides you really don't want to see osu play the tide or do you? I don't, this bama team can be better than last.

have you looked at osu schedule. these teams play a harder schedule the osu does. the big 10 mave not have another team in the top 12 at the end of the year.

Yeah Florida St.'s schedule is real tough.(Sarcasm)
There is no news link so I can't post specifics, but I've heard he was in trouble with police.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Quote: Are you kidding or just another Ohio State hater?
i am not a buckeye hater, but rather a fan. but if you are going to sit here and say that osu's schedule is tuff you are looking at it with blinders on. and don't go by last years teams, its this year that counts. I will give you a example cal last year was ranked high in the pac-12 but this year they are ranked dead last in the pac-12. then they pick up one of the worst teams from the sec in vandy [real powerhouse} buffalo. I just see it and call it like it is. its one of the softest schedules of preseason top 2 ranked teams ever. it is what it is! you have to admit it.
It's not so much about who recruited the kid. A pretty significant amount of these kids come from a rough upbringing, all coaches recruit these types of kids. Urban Meyer clearly doesn't have control over his players, though.
It's definitely something to look at. He takes a chance on these kids more than other coaches would.
But like you said, he can't sit there and babysit them at night when they are off school and practice hours.
He did the right thing though. He definitely has more pull at OSU than he did at Florida.
As far as OSU's schedule goes, most fans know that this schedule has set up very nice for them. Their only tough OOC game is at Cal, and the rest of the Big Ten is just flat out weak. They know their only shot at the title game is to run the table.
I do think they will get the nod if they do that. Don't forget, they were screwed out of anything last year, and will have won some 25 games in a row to get to that point (if it happens). You're only fooling yourself if you don't think that comes into play with the voters.
