Sark hasn't magically learned how to be an elite play caller. He's still the same coach who hasn't yet figured out how to score inside the 10 yard line.
Yet the media and a lot of our fanbase call him an "elite offensive mind"...which cracks me the frick up every time I hear it.

With Sark? I'd say there's about a 95% chance OSU wins that game.

Ohio state is in full rebuild
What are you talking about? They are never a full rebuild anyways, but this year? They have the best odds to win the championship in the country.

They lost over 50% of the starters

What point are you trying to make?
You switched from talking about this year to last year? All those guys were taken in April 2025 so how is that meaningful in making Ohio State a rebuild in the 2026 season?

Losing half your players leaves you with a rebuilding year
That’s obvious
And yet you missed it

I understand that, but this is what you wrote.
“They absolutely should win especially since Ohio state is in full rebuild and Utrans has an experienced and uber expensive team”
You’re writing in the present tense, which would suggest you’re referring to this coming season. Whereas all the of the players you mentioned weren’t on the 2025 Ohio State team anyways because they had already been drafted, so carry no relevance as lost production for the game in Austin this year.
Ohio State returns a more experienced team this season, not less, and shouldn't be considered to be rebuilding. They’re the preseason favorite to win it all.
