He uses AU since they were voted to win the SEC during media days.
I don't know Ohio State players well enough, but the fact he mentions Lawson would be 2nd string leads me to wonder.
Trying to remember if Bruce Feldman is an Auburn hater like Thayer Evans.

Feldmans not an auburn hater, but he's not a talent evaluator either...

Ohio State is the team the talking heads have been waiting for to stand up to the SEC. The love fest for them is no surprise. Alabama wasn't great last year, but everyone thinks Ohio State would come out of an SEC slate undefeated. I don't buy it. Their weak arse schedule will always give them an opportunity for success, though.

This particular article certainly doesn't come across like he's hating on AU. I couldn't remember if he has written shite about AU in the past.

AU is 2-0 versus Urban Meyer coached teams.

Urban is the best coach in the country. This isn't a stretch.

I would love to get a shot at Meyer with Champ on the sidelines again. That was an awesome game.

3 NC, undefeated seasons at BG and Utah, and a 9-2 bowl record. He is in a tier of his own. Would stand to reason any team he coaches would dominate the SEC, or any conference. If/when Gus leaves for the NFL, JJ better call him and gauge his interest in coming back to the SEC. Being a pain to Saban and the SEC west might be enough to peak his interest. I doubt he coaches for money at this point.

The shite he pulled at Florida puts me off of him. I think he'll eventually crack under the pressure in his current gig, just like he did in '10. But I could be wrong.

That's not what he says at all. He said Lawson would be the second best DE behind Joey Bosa, which you can't really argue at this point, meaning he would be the other starter at DE.
He has 6 Auburn players that would start for OSU:
WR- Duke Williams
RT- Avery Young
DE- Carl Lawson
DT- Monty Adams
MLB- Cass McKinzy
CB- Jonathan Jones
In reality I think we'd have a few more. I'd say 9-10 of our guys would start.
-I think Alex Kozan would start if 100%. He has a rising sophomore who was their own freshman All-American over Kozan. He calls that kid a "powerhous". Braden Smith is also a SO and I have a hard time believing anybody could be more of a powerhouse than Braden. I think both our OG's would have a good shot to start
-Kris Frost. I know he gets a lot of crap here, but he's one of the top draft prospects at OLB and a SR so you'd think he could grab at least one OLB spot anywhere.
-Tray Matthews. He doesn't really mention the safety position I don't know who OSU has, but you'd have to think he'd have a good shot vs anybody they have.
Regarding JJ, I think he's a better pure QB, better pro prospect, and will have a better NFL career than any of OSU's 3 QB's. But there's no way you can make an argument for him to start vs those guys right now. He also doesn't fit Meyer's offense as well as any of them, he isn't as good of a runner. I have no idea where he would fall on their depth chart, but he wouldn't beat out all 3 in that system.

You just did though.
I think it's cheap to assume JJ couldn't start simply because they have three very good QBs. Maybe JJ is better?

He doesn't have much pressure at his current gig, that's why he's there.
Unless Harbaugh can resurrect Michigan Urban is going to have to royally F up to not be in the playoff almost every year.

Harbaugh will have Michigan back in short order. Penn State is off sanctions. Michigan State is on an impressive run. Wisconsin is Wisconsin. Ferentz is out at Iowa after this year and they have a large pool of alumni turned good coaches to pull from. Nebraska has a new coach. The pressure will be on Urbs in the B1G big time in 3 years. Similar timeframe to his exit from UF...

Penn State is coming back as well. I do not know if any you watched that game last year, but Franklin got hosed by the bad calls.

I was in Columbus Ohio today on business ironically. tOSU is scrong. However, I like Gus's chances against any Meyer coached team. Perhaps we'll meet them post season.
Also tOSU's schedule is pussy stuff compared to an SEC schedule. frick the B1G.

Ohio St shouldn't even have a halfway shot at a playoff invite with that schedule again, much less with a loss. It drives me nuts. Not that it's so much Cryer's fault (they have Oregon St, OU, and TCU in the future), but funny how every year in the little 10, rarely do the 3-4 teams that are worth a crap in their weakass conference all play each other. Ohio just conveniently doesn't have to play Wisconsin. Next year will be the first time since 2012, and in 2017, nope, and off the schedule again until '19.

Writer basically said JJ should be good he just can't put him as starter over what OSU has which is record setting Big10 POY JT Barrett and NC winning out of nowhere stud Cardelle Jones
We base our JJ hype off a couple quarters he's played. OSU has two guys that dominated against top competition so much that Braxton Miller, former Big10 POY moved positions

This is the most interesting thing to me. As of now, Meyer hasn't had anyone challenging him for those B1G recruits or coaching and now Harbaugh can do both from a traditional powerhouse. Harbaugh will start on defense and make them stout and add in the offense over a couple years. They will be a very strong team under him but it will take time to 180 an oddball group of offensive players.

with a good coach. I don't think they have the ability to go as high as Michigan and OSU but they can certainly make it tougher with Franklin.
quote:
Michigan State is on an impressive run.
Are they good because they are good or because the rest of the conference has been shite. Add in a few more good teams to make those tough games tighter and will they keep playing well? We'll see on that.

Wisconsin is Wisconsin.
And always will be.

It will pick up but it will never be like the arms race that was the SEC in the mid 2000s to late 2000s where every team went out of their way to hire big time coaches that could recruit and coach at the top of their fields. He just won't ever have 10 teams in the B1G that can beat him in any week and the others won't be able to physically beat him up in a loss like the SEC can.
