Ohio State 2024 is one of the rare teams that are clearly elite but also have alot of room to grow. New OC and system, new QB and an evolving oline. Our schedule sets up nicely. We'll be a clear #1 by week 7

[@chubbawubbahubb24]

Us buckeye fans who have been paying attention have been telling everyone this was coming! We may be even better next year

[@ammielcoats9762]

I agree especially the defense

[@frankcarone6]

sam thank you for your honesty and professionalism

[@collegefootballwithsam]

You are welcome!

Sam's final 2024 playoff has Michigan vs Georgia in the NC game. Has Iowa, Notre Dame, FSU in the playoffs. Has Michigan's only loss in conference at Ohio State. Suddenly USC, Washington, Oregon, Illinois and OSU look like a possible loss putting Michigan at a dismal 7-5 season

[@CuddleBuddee]

Yessir. Theyre handling their business unlike other top teams against inferior competition. Still early but they look the best they have at this stage in years .

[@jd3428]

The biggest surprise to me is the young talent. Arvell Reese, Siereveld, SWD, Peoples, Sayin, JS, etc. I know after this year Ohio State will lose a lot of talent, but the future is very bright.

Who is SWD?

Thanks for the consistent content, Sam. Even as a Buckeye fan I’ve been following you for quite some time and watch regularly.

[@chrislane3228]

We did look good. It was the most dominating performance I have seen by my Buckeyes in a very long time. Nothing to get too excited about, though. We need the OL completely solidified. Also... injuries change a lot. It was great for the Bucks to be able to get the back-ups in for somewhat meaningful reps.

[@vooptr]

Good to see the face behind the awesome channel! Great stuff, as always. Go Bucks!

[@nickchislom9499]

Some honesty from a Wolverines’ fan/podcaster. 2024 is the year of the Buckeye! 👍🏾❤️🌰🌰❤️👍🏾

[@MegaEing]

When watching the Buckeyes play, I truly thought that this was a scary team. Yes, they played Western Michigan, but their level of play is far beyond what it was... and the players know it

[@matthewpeek6890]

I don’t care what team you play holding a team to under 100 yards is insane

[@b3stanman946]

Will Howard is the key…. Dude is in total control and it shows…. He’s underrated… and with a run game and play calling… yikes..

[@bschmid100]

Did u see that rpo game? It was crazy awesome to watch

[@sandradurham1995]

I concur Sam! Great analysis. Go Bucks!!!

[@noeticjustice1535]

Current Big Ten power ranking: 1. Ohio State Tied for 6th: - Penn State - USC - Michigan - Nebraska - Rutgers

[@jeffwalraven9961]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@chrislane3228]

Yes, Sam. We only beat Akron so badly because we took them out physically. That won't happen in Big Ten play.

[@dyoung12b]

Stop it Ohio State will physically beat any team in the Big ten right now and when we play Oregon it might get ugly because I'm going to tell you right now Ohio state's front 7 or front 6 is the best in country. Are offense is going to be one of them offenses that is hard to stop because we're good at all three levels if you want to take away the past fine we're going to pound you out with t Henderson and Judkins ok cool you wanna take away the run ok cool now you gotta guard Ebuka,Smith,Tate and innis . It's going to be hard for teams to game playing against Ohio State this year the only team that I can think of in the country that can match us is either Georgia or Alabama I don't even see Texas matching us when it comes to physicality

[@MrA7x14]

You and RJ are the best on KZbin

[@chrislane3228]

No one is perfect, Sam. You were right last year. It's ok. You're still a decent analyst. It is just going to be a weird year.

I'm not on that conference fan crap. The game is national now, not regional.

[@chrislane3228]

@@Al-Rudigor I get that. We just need the conference to be relevant. Do you want to be compared to the ACC or Big 12? It matters for every Big Ten team. I've been around long enough to know that a champion of a poor conference can mean nothing. See undefeated Florida State last season.

Looks like you were right about Ohio St. But I'm hopeful about Penn St still, and Nebraska.

[@JoshJorg44]

Penn State and Oregon are doing worse than I expected. Especially Oregon.

[@kylemason883]

Nebraska has a good team full of seniors (except QB)

[@nickma71]

I will just copy and paste my review from Eleven Warriors. "The fact that it was a lesser foe doesn't change the execution the players showed in the proverbial game 1 to game 2 jump. 1. They blocked much better. 2. The WRs blocked. 3. Play calling was excellent especially the play action pass. 4. The defense continued it's discipline and execution. 5. While there were a few "whiffs" in blocking, there are no big clean-ups of the team. This was a great performance, and much better than the Akron win." Bennett Christian had a huge miss on his block on the TD run by Howard. Howard just beat the defense to the pylon. The credit goes to the coaching and the improvement in their actual play. This really is the best they played since 2019.

[@dcgravity7822]

All the TEs blocks were lousy. Hopefully, they get that fixed before conference play. The WRs on the other hand, put on a blocking clinic. Thanks, Chip Kelly!

[@brettk9316]

Man you can almost power rank ohio st, usc, nebraska as top 3 schools in big ten no one would of guessed this couple weeks back.

[@JoshJorg44]

I honestly can't stand the fact that Ohio State plays three cupcakes in a row before finally playing a Big Ten team

[@armandhammer3782]

A "whole standard deviation !" 🤣

[@jaydoll487]

Im so mad that will howard is not getting as much recognition as he should soon as ohio state got him and now with chip Kelly and not ryan day calling the plays and people will say kelly wasn't that great as a coach but hes never had this much talent EVER or these wrs and qb to work with this could be the best team they ever had to bad howard is a senior but its also a great thing at the same time but they still don't aint respecting howard and of course they are once again saying a alabama player milroe will win heisman hes not close to ewers,raiola,howard not even mccord but I wont say mccord till they play vs a good team with a real d line because mccord is horrible when under pressure he chokes hes always been good when he has time but i agree georgia is the best at the moment until the oregon game and we will know what ohio state is about

[@pauliewalnuts2527]

they didnt allow a single first down the entire second half

[@iykykyle]

No one in the B1G can play with these guys this year. Nebraska and Oregon will give it their best shot. IMO the Buckeyes and Texas are the best two teams in the nation.

[@jeffwalraven9961]

Georgia?????

[@iykykyle]

@@jeffwalraven9961 Yes, UGA undoubtedly in the Top 3 with OSU and TX rankings dont really matter at this point. Was more so speaking on B1G since UT played TTUN.

You can tell a lot about the character of someone who can admit their wrongs. You’ve been that way since the beginning👍 we all make bad or wrong takes. I thought USC would be soft lol.

Put respect on USC 2nd best team in conference rn

[@joeresch8772]

Buckeye fan here, I agree USC is looking damn good

[@JoshuaRoe-r7s]

Nebraska is right there too

[@JoshJorg44]

I still think Will Howard will continue to improve and could end up as a Heisman finalist.

[@gregjames9875]

Why would anyone think the Michigan was going to be anything but average this year? They lost all of their defensive coaches, all of their offensive line, and half of their offensive coaches. They lost their running back, their quarterback, and their head coach. Harbaugh pulled a Pete Carroll. He left ichigan to die on the vine.

[@SBSBuckeyeG]

WMU coach - They look bigger and scarier in person.

[@Ducks4Life91]

THEY AINT PLAYED NO DAMN BODY BRO CALM DOWN😂😂😂😂😂😂😂im glad we having issues early in the season Ohio state could tumble later

[@JoshuaRoe-r7s]

They still look unstoppable and have some of the most talent ever assembled in college football.

[@rogerhayes4055]

I can't believe they dropped the buckeyes from 2 to 3 with that 56 - 0 that does not make since to me

[@JasonBaer-k3c]

It's because of who they've played. Texas really should be #1. I'm a buckeye fan.

[@wattsinc.]

​@user-yl8lo1sl8x no Michigan isnt the cheaters. Texas was putting third string in

[@jeffwalraven9961]

Because Texas/Michigan was bigger game then OSU/WMU. Looking forward to week 8. GBR

[@aaronford8112]

Texas dominated #10 ranked (probably should've been lower) Michigan on the road and OSU played Western Michigan. So yeah it makes sense that Texas jumped us.

[@johnwakefield9378]

OSA defense looked off first half against Akron too? Cab fans and experts downplay defense which is key to an elit dominant team no red zone allowances in 2 weeks? Sounds like defense was elite against Akron both halves.

[@chrislane3228]

We just look weak as a conference.

[@FranklinFanatic]

Of all the B10 teams Ohio state is the only one to have coach Franklins number until 2024

[@GBU61]

After watching Penn State struggle against a MAC school and having Allar at QB, plus Franklin as the HC will give Ohio State a comfortable win this year. If PSU only loses 2 games, I will be surprised.

[@chrisowen3264]

I’m not sure it’s even close this year. Penn st and USC are decent teams but Ohio st is miles ahead of both.

[@joeresch8772]

USC is clearly the 2nd best team, OSU won't see them this year unless they play in BIG championship or playoffs

[@ChimichangaGuy]

Ohio state played better against than Western Michigan, than Georgia did against Tennessee tech. Western Michigan would easily beat Tennessee tech

[@calebleeson5662]

Ohio state has a higher ceiling than Georgia. Obviously they’re not on Georgias level yet but if they continue the trend by playoffs it’s bane and Batman and someone’s back is getting broke

lookin like it at this point

USC v Nebraska may be the game to determine who meets Ohio State. Both of these teams could be playoff teams as well.

[@elijahmahone9358]

Sam this ain't a shot at you what you and tons of others did this off season was stop believing in the reliable teams besides georgia outside of a few years against Michigan ohio state has been reliably one of the best teams in college football year in and out no rebuilds just reloads.

[@bschmid100]

Ohio state is 3 steps ahead of Penn state

[@jayburke1601]

Sam I love you but I tried to tell you all Michigan fans and even in a nice way your expectations for this season were so unrealistic. Besides all the other things and you all know what I'm talking about you would have been expecting a first-year quarterback to come in and do the same thing that the veteran JJ McCarthy did when we all know college football does not work like that only once in The bluest of moons will you see a team be dominant with a veteran quarterback and then come back the very next year without him and be just as dominant especially in the Big ten maybe Alabama has done it a couple times or something like that. Even without all the other noise and you Michigan fans know what I'm talking about you would have at best been in the same position as Ohio State was in last year . You would have been a good defensive team with a first-year quarterback who would have to go on the road and beat Ohio State...who this year one way or the other has a veteran quarterback at home with a loaded team like you all had last year. It doesn't make sense to think you wouldn't be at the same disadvantage Ohio state was that last year and that is without even considering all the other s*** Michigan has going on all the investigations all the coaching changes all the personnel changes all the draft picks who are gone etcetera etcetera.... I had never seen any college football fans in the history of my life who had more unrealistic expectations coming into the season than the Michigan fans of this season. And I understand Michigan are defending national champions but as I kept telling you and as you can see last year has very little to do with this year it's a new season it all has to be done again. There was no way you were going to get through this season riding the accolades of last season. Texas just exposed every weakness every non Michigan fan could see coming the WHOLE time.

[@ml1754]

Your drunk PSU will not beat them

[@sandradurham1995]

I feel you're the only non-delusional Michigan fan..and you realize your demographics which of you stay the course who knows where you might end up! Go Sam and did I just hear you shout Go Bucks? Hope you don't get too much push back on that from your delusional fan base. Have a blessed day.

[@deborae3635]

Yea u lost all credibility a long time ago u picked michigan to win natty lmao go horns

I picked Michigan to win it all in 2023, and was correct. I did not pick them to win it all this year, and didn't come close to doing that.
