Was greatly overrated. It’s clear not only did their pass rush greatly cover their backend, but they didn’t face a team in their sec schedule with an elite wr room outside of maybe bama and they got that game at Nyland. They were completely outmatched vs OSU’s skill group

Game was at Ohio st and super cold. Its not like they were playing SMU. Ohio St is a National Title contender. Honestly not super surprised. I still think it ends up Texas VS UGA for the National Title.

OSU is the most talented team in the country. They just have a coach who chokes every now and then. They would beat down most of these teams in the playoffs when they are playing their A game.

Ngl I don’t think Texas matches up well with OSU. OSU’s secondary is very stout they can cover the longhorns wideouts and force Quinn into some turnovers . Their wr room is also absolutely elite we saw the longhorns backend struggle vs Clemson’s dynamic young wideouts I think Jeremiah smith and Egbuka gives them fits

I gotta agree. They’re loaded with talent. Their one clear weakness is the o-line but their skill position group offensively is electric. Defensively they have the most talented backend in the country and stud pass rushers and good lb play. When Day isn’t coaching tight their scary

OSU lost to a bad Michigan team. They’re not that good.

Have to remember every year basic logic goes out the window just for these rivalry games

Ryan day forgets how to coach vs Michigan doesn’t take away their loaded with talent. Ole Miss lost to a dog shite Kentucky team at home and beat down a strong GA team sometimes loses that don’t make sense happen in CFB

Every coach has some WTF moments these days, that's why LSU fans should be careful what they wish for when we want Kelly fired

Honestly it looked like an SEC vs Big 10 game in regards to speed and explosiveness. Ohio State was the SEC team this time.

Honestly that stuck out to me the most it was shocking how much more explosive and faster OSU looked. Tenn looked flat out slow on both sides of the football

Ohio State has far superior talent to Tennessee, at the end of the day, it still comes down to the Jimmies and Joes

Tennessee’s hardest road games were Oklahoma and Arkansas. They won one and lost one. Tennessee has a favorable schedule, I honestly believe that the best SEC team after Texas and Georgia was South Carolina.

Tennessee had a charmin soft schedule, and that reared its head tonight. Their DBs literally were incapable of staying within 10 feet of tOSU’s receivers. It was a big shocking, to be honest.

Texas’ schedule was similar, but they’re actually a good team. Tennessee was not.

It showed two things:

1. There’s a huge discrepancy in scheduling with these massive conferences.

2. The SEC was dog shite this season.

Ole Miss when they were on was prob just as good as anyone in the SEC. They had a tremendous pass rush and a ton of weapons on offense
