    Once games are actually played there should be more to talk about as these ratings should change weekly.

    Don't see anything changing before that happens but you can conjecture and guess aplenty about what's about to occur.... ( Thank God !!! )

    Buckeye's are #1 on Rivals and you guys also have big leg up on the 2017 class as well. Harbaugh is going to have to work very hard to catch you guys.

    The Buckeyes are pretty much sitting where Florida was with Meyer after the second Meyer led national championship in 2008.

    But then Saban happened and Meyer's health became an issue.

    Could Harbaugh be another Saban in his side?

    In spite of how strong everything looks for OSU currently **** can happen.

    Dave,

    We currently are sitting pretty for 2016 & 2017. Who knows what will transpire down the road, I am just going to enjoy the next couple years!

    Yeah well 2015 may be pretty good too. :wink:

    I would be more concerned about '16 and '17 if Harbaugh gets things going in Ann Arbor.

    All 40 Big TEn Media Voters have predicted Ohio State will win the Big Ten this year. I hope the players are not paying any attention to this kind of praise.

    With the addition of Nick Bosa and Isaiah Pryor, a four-star safety out of Georgia for the 2017 class, we are securing a lot of talent laden players!

    Issiah Prince is the first freshman to lose his black stripe.OT/massive human Isaiah Prince was the first freshman to lose his black stripe in fall practice. He is 6'5 and 320 lbs. This means he is likely to see early playing time as the season opens. Pat Efligen says the easiest thing to teach the new Slobs is how to eat! :p

    Kp,

    One of Coach Meyer's motivational ideas for incoming freshman players.

    Losing the black stripe means they are ready to compete at the college level and help the team immediately.

    Interesting Don, Lou Holtz used to do that same thing. Meyer was on his staff I wonder if that is where he picked up that idea.

    Terry, I would not be surprised, but really do not know for certain. Personally I like the idea.

    Tom,

    No activity here, maybe a good idea to change the Sticky status?
