Ohio St has 6 returning starters.......on THEIR ENTIRE TEAM. That's average 8 new starters in both sides of the ball. I can't buy that. Not with that schedule.



It's not fair in any way to compare teams at this stage, but 2014 was similar. Lost 4 of 5 OL, lost the QB a week before the season, this RB named Ezekiel Elliott who no one had heard of, a former high school QB turned LBer, a talented rFR in Eli Apple, and unproven safeties in Vonn Bell and Tyvis Powell.

Saying that more to prove OSU has talent and coaches to get them from young and not ready to prime time, and has done it with less pieces in place than this year honestly (since QB is a strength and not a ?)

To me, the top sleeper may actually be USC (we will know a lot about them quick). The return 10/11 starters on offense, so that to me means they at least have been in big games. They have talented guys at the skill positions as we know

Overhyped I'm not buying Washington at all
