I had to read this article twice to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.. Barrett Sallee (whom I typically feel is a pretty good writer) had his (very) early picks for the first 12 team playoff for 2024 and OSU was excluded (he only has UM and UW from the Big 10)
1. Georgia
2. UM
3. Clemson
4. OK State
5. Texas
6. Alabama
7. Washington
8. Notre Dame
9. Utah
10. Ole Miss
11. Tulane
12. Boise State
Obviously, these types of predictions in January of 2024 are just clickbait (worked with me), but it still popped out at me that he would have so much confidence in TSUN, when you consider Harbaugh is one foot out the door and the mass majority of the team is moving on. They COULD make it back, but to predict them to be the 2 seed at this point is rather silly. It is a bit disconcerting to see a national writer that covers the sport to exclude the Buckeyes.
IF, this were to pass, I would think it would be safe to say we would have an entire new coaching regime in Columbus in 2025..
