They really just need one more excellent pass rusher and stronger play at the corners and they will contend for the title -- barring unforeseen injury to Williams
I like OSU to win it all next year. They have the clydesdales on both sides of the ball to get it done.
Yeah, they have a really good shot.
I wanna see a PAC12 in the mix before the breakup.

Yeah I think best course is to stick w Chip .. its been a pretty disappointing ride thus far but definitely the lowest risk option to at least stay a decently well recruited and competitive team as they embark into the B10 .. they show up looking like a fish outta water like Nebraska, MD and Rutgers did and could take a long time to get their act together esp if USC shows up strong as projected .. gotta shake the Lakers/Clippers image lol .. think the other good thing is getting past the DTR era w a premier QB recruit coming in .. DTR was Chips first big recruit and got thrust in there right away vs Cincy all those years ago and just throttled for years maybe he became decent his last couple years but it was a long road to get there and just never really made it to the top 1/3 of QB's in CFB, to me at least .. welcome change in my view ..

Excellent points. I think in this case it comes down to "if it aint broke don't fix it"
He should continue to do well out there.
One win improvement coming this year.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan All-American running back Blake Corum said his surgically repaired left knee has gotten strong enough that he has been cleared to run on an anti-gravity treadmill next week.
Corum said Thursday that he is "100 percent" sure he will play in the season-opening game Sept. 2 against East Carolina.
Corum tore a meniscus and sprained a ligament in his left knee against Illinois on Nov. 19. A
Instead of entering the NFL draft, Corum decided to stay in school for his senior year.
"Feeling great all-around mentally, physically, spiritually," Corum told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The 5-foot-8, 210-pound Corum ran for 1,463 yards and 18 touchdowns last season and had 952 yards rushing and 11 TDs as a sophomore in 2021.
"I'll be back definitely by fall camp," he said.
The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel has approved three rules changes in college football aimed at improving the pace of play and reducing the number of plays per game.
Per The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach, the approved changes that will go into effect next season include a running clock after first downs (except for the last two minutes of each half), banning the use of consecutive timeouts by a team and carrying a foul over to the second and fourth quarters instead of playing an untimed down.
The NCAA Football Rules Committee officially proposed the changes last month at a meeting in Indianapolis.
Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner on Tuesday said that he has entered the NCAA transfer portal "to explore my options, and decide what is best for my future."
Buchner's entrance to the portal, which he confirmed in a post on Twitter, will make him the most talented quarterback to enter in the spring period, and there is expected to be a strong market for his services.

Marquee game today is Gators at UTES
Line moved down around 3 pts on Utah since announcement star QB Rising is very doubtful.
My take: he won't play. Way too risky. In fact, given the less than 100% status of his knee (ACL) he may well be out next week at Baylor and the following week vs Weber State.

Utes starting TE is also questionable (ACL)
However Barnes is a very capable backup. Just not quite as good as Rising. They are solid on both sides of the ball but that line drop seems reasonable here.
I was inclined to take UTES su at home if Rising was 100% healthy. Not now.

Gators will return a very powerful "clock eating" run game, and Wisconsin's 3 yr starter Mertz should be capable of helping the Gators improve by 2 or 3 more wins this year but competitive in all of them. I look to see more improvement in the Gators defense.
This one could be close!
IMV, Florida is just a lucky bounce (turnover) away from a road upset, let alone a cover, vs a ranked opp!
Of course, as always, anything can happen in football as we have all witnessed before.
Gators are on a 30 - 1 streak for season openers (albeit most in Gainesville)
