I agree with you. In the years Ohio State didn’t make the playoffs almost no one opted out (only Denzel Ward I believe) and the team played just as hard as they did during the season. It’s a culture issues at schools and the programs with a lot of opt outs aren’t moving up the ladder

Part of the reason Ohio State players didn’t opt out is because they need film showing matchups against future NFL talent. You get some of that with Michigan and Penn State. They’re the only big 10 teams outside of OSU with top 25 talent. You also get that in a bowl game. In the SEC you get that almost every week. There’s 10 SEC teams in the top 25 according to 247 team talent composite.
