This past weekend was pretty crazy around college football but it didn’t seem to affect the Big Ten pecking order too much. There were a few close calls with Michigan and their big brother Michigan State, but that is about it. Really, outside of Rutgers getting a win there wasn’t too much shock value in the Midwest. With everyone at or around…
Well folks, this weekend was a success in more ways that one. I had made a promise on The Sons of Schmidt that if Ohio State lost to Maryland…I would personally ban myself from Ohio Stadium. Thank the good lord that I don’t have to break that promise because SPOILER ALERT…I totally would have. Another weekend passed by…
I’ve come to realize a few things over the first five weeks of the season. First, outside the top four teams (OSU, PSU, Wisky, and UM) and the bottom two teams (Illinois and Rutgers), it is almost impossible to judge who is actually good or not. Secondly, much like Tony has no idea when I’m turning this piece in every week…none of us…
We are at that point of the year where any SEC team with a pulse gets shuffled around the meaningless AP and Coaches poll to prove dominance. This week we had the privilege of watching Georgia jump up into the Top-10 because of their huge win over Mississippi State…who for some reason jumped up into the Top-20 last week…
As I sat there on Saturday in my mom’s basement as the best blogger/writer this side of the Sons of Schmidt, it really was difficult to figure out if the Big Ten conference is any good. Sure, there are four teams in the Top 10, but there is like 60% of the Top-10 filled by NON-B1G teams! That certainly can’t be any good.
Anger, sadness, frustration, confusion…those are all words that can be used to describe how Buckeye Nation felt on Saturday. Outside of punting and possibly the cheerleaders, there was not much celebrating going on during the game. Within the Big Ten, things were a little different as the conference built on a very good week…
Mike and I had a discussion on The Sons of Schmidt a few weeks ago where we were talking about the “Most Overrated” and “Most Underrated” conferences in America heading into the season. My response was that I really wanted to put the Big Ten for each of these categories. I feel like the top end of the B1G will be considered…
Urban Meyer took his turn on the Big Ten Coaches Teleconference on Tuesday. He provided some updates on his Ohio State football team and also looked forward to the Buckeyes’ matchup this weekend against the Oklahoma Sooners. Here are the highlights.
Wow, what a weekend for the Big Ten. The conference went 10-2 outside of conference play in Week 1 of the 2017 college football season. Even the two losses by Purdue and Rutgers weren’t any type of embarrassing losses. We here at The-Ozone finally sat down around the table in the conference room to discuss our first Big Ten…
Ohio State fifth-year senior quarterback J.T. Barrett was named the Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week by the conference on Monday, and true freshman running back J.K. Dobbins earned the Big Ten Freshman of the Week nod as well. With a 5-yard pass completion to H-back K.J. Hill on the second play from scrimmage…
This is it, the final step. After this, it’s just a matter of tallying up all of the previous ratings, which should only take me about three months to tabulate. I am expecting very accurate findings. In all seriousness, though, I should start doing more time-capsule predictions where nobody sees what I’ve predicted until after the event has…
