Degenerates like myself

I don’t know if the data backs me up on this but I feel like Ohio State rarely sweeps these marquee OOC series. OU - split Texas (mid 2000’s) - split Virginia Tech - split Miami - split USC - lost both Oregon - lost (they joined the conference so only one game of the 2 game series was played) That has me extremely nervous for this game in Austin. Unlike in ‘06, we don’t get to go against a true freshman QB.

I understand that this is all opinion based, but my rankings are based off of their entire careers with more weight put on how each coach is trending plus the previous 3-4 seasons. Kirby Smart has more players in court than he does meaningful wins over the past several seasons. He can’t develop quarterbacks, his offense is stagnant, and once again Georgia doesn’t appear to be a threat on the national stage heading into the 2026 season.

1. Cignetti 2. Day 3. Kirby

Neither team is taking it to each other. Both teams have the goods whether they win or lose.

Already have our AirBNB within walking distance to the stadium. I can’t wait! Ohio State is absolutely loaded again and the current favorites (FanDuel) to win the national championship.

As a Buckeye fan, I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to hear this one as well haha

Arch Manning is not a young QB, and he’s not going to get better. Arch is who he is after 3 years in the system. Sark wastes another talent.

Sayin had 12 career passing attempts prior to being the first player in history to beat the #1 ranked team in their first career start. I think that was a hell of a first game.

100%. I was shocked when I saw the yardage difference because watching the game live it felt like Ohio State was clearly the better team.

1. Ohio State 2. LSU 3. Miami 4. Penn State 5. Georgia 6. Texas 7. Oregon 8. Notre Dame 9. Clemson 10. Florida State That would probably by my top ten if I had a vote

I’m thankful for every win, but Texas is just as lucky they didn’t lose 21-0. I believe Arch had 38 yards entering the 4th quarter. It was complete domination.

I have a feeling we’ll see each other again

I am fascinated to see how Arch bounces back against SJSU Saturday

Yeah, Arch has a higher ceiling than Sayin though. Arch is the prototype of what you would want your QB to look like if you built him in a lab. I still don’t know about Sayin’s deep ball though, he under threw Tate pretty bad on the TD. I was glad to see that his “quick processing and accuracy” that we heard about all off season seems to not have been overstated.

It just doesn’t make sense because I truly believe Sark is an elite play caller, and this game doesn’t diminish that to me. I just wonder if behind the scenes Arch has struggled and Sark knows he isn’t capable of running the full offense, at least not yet.

That was a very good catch. That might have been the only time. Ohio State was up two scores at that point and were just trying to keep everything in front them. Hence all of the empty yards that Texas fans think shows they were actually better. The real issue is that why is Julian Sayin already better than Arch Manning? That on top of Sark turning Quinn Ewers from 5* #1 overall into a 7th round pick would have me really questioning your program.

And CJ Stroud would have torn ya’ll apart lol. Wtf does that have to do with anything? Sayin is already being developed better than Arch is

Sorry, I don’t know how Texas got those yards because their offense wasn’t a threat. I don’t think one of their WRs beat an Ohio State DB the entire game

I’m not going to act confident about beating Michigan until they actually do it. I’m just glad Ohio State will be a completely different team by then. Sayin will be a night and day different QB.

At no point after Ohio State went up 7-0 did we feel threatened by Texas.

“The game was ours for the taking” The game could have also just as easily been 21-0 Ohio State.

If their name weren’t Michigan, they wouldn’t worry me. They don’t have near the WR/TE and D talent that Texas does. Until Ohio State actually beats Michigan though, I’m not going to assume it’s a W.

Your D completely shut down our running game. Both sides threw out a lot of opinions the past week, but one opinion I think you guys were right about was Ohio State is going to miss Judkins and TreyVeon this season

I only care about being 1-0
