What is everyone's opinion on when TOSU will be ranked again and where do you project us ending up?
I hated not seeing us in the polls this past year. Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I enjoyed seeing us as the top ranked team in the polls. Plus I'm female and probably old enough to be your mother so go easy on me! LOL
I think they start at #15 or so
We arent elligible to be in any polls, maybe the AP.
Favorite Buckeye: Obviously BJ Mullens
I would love to see us in the middle/lower-end of the pack, say around 15-23, and have some other B1G schools ahead of us, so when we do play them, and beat them, that just proves how much better we are. especially being 1-year removed from a season we all want to forget
^ "BJ Mullens Over Sully" is hereby my favorite name on this site until further notice.
fyi, moving up in the rankings and not being bowl eligible will be a good sign as well, letting NCAA know that they can put sanctions on us, but we will continue to grow stronger.
As far as AP rankings, I think we'll start around the 12-15 range. I think we'll end up going something like 10-2, but I don't think an undefeated season is at all out of the question.
Who knows, I'm hoping for an AP title, albeit with an excessive amount of unwarranted optimism.
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.
I'm as excited as anyone for the upcoming season, but I think an undefeated season is out of the question. The condition of our offensive line is horrendous, but this year will no doubt be a building block for the MNC caliber teams to come.
Class of 2016. Go Bucks!
We really don't play anyone that amazing this year though. Our 3 toughest games IMO (in order):
1. MSU @ MSU (Breaking in new QB/Meyer sending a message)
2. Wisky @ Camp Randall (Breaking in new QB/Meyer sending a message)
3. Cal @ the Shoe (Meh)
IF we get solid OLine play (questionable, but anythings possible with the Walrus gone) and better LB/D-Line play (very possible, healthy SHAZR/NWill returns/Stud recruits) I don't see any reason we can't go undefeated against this weak schedule.
"You're pissed because we went after a committed guy? Guess what, we got 9 guys who better go do it again," said Meyer. "Do it a little harder next time."
MSU won't be as good this coming year (lost all of their receivers and their quarterback) and Russell Wilson was the only reason why Wisconsin stayed in the game against us. I think we have a shot at going unbeaten.
