Clemson's depth is getting the best of Ohio State as this game continues. Ohio State needs a big play to change momentum or Clemson could roll this second half.

The PAC 12 or Big 12 do not deserve a team.

OSU is getting outcoached right now. They need to make some adjustments.

At full speed, I have that clearly incomplete
In slow motion, it looked like a catch & fumble.

I dunno what I'd call that.

Don't cause me to end up on the DL due to well-deserved eye rolling.

I agree but it was called a TD so how was there indisputable evidence it was incomplete?

Yeah. Honestly, it seems like the call on the field should have stood. But I’m not complaining.

This almost feels like a red flag stat for his NFL future

Quote:
With 55 touchdown passes (and counting), Burrow became the fifth player in FBS history with 5,000 passing yards and 50 touchdowns in a season. Fresno State's Derek Carr (2013), Hawaii's Colt Brennan (2006), Texas Tech's B.J. Symons (2003) and Houston's David Klinger (1990) were the only other players to do that.

Nearly a dozen of whom are significant contributors

3 starting OL, 2 of the top 3 receivers, all-american DB, #2 rusher is out, #1 rusher is questionable at this point.

It's pretty depleted

Probably not that big of a deal, but they said a few times that Lebron had given the OSU team Beats, as a gift, before the game. If free tattoos are a problem, isn’t something like this along the same lines? Seems like bad optics for a program with their history.

UW has also consistently been a top defense nationally last 5-6 years and have put just as many if not more DBs in the nfl as anyone.

Here is what the NCAA head of officials had to say about that fumble scoop and score reversal:

"Veteran NFL official and collegiate officiating administrator Terry McAulay led the chorus on Twitter of those second-guessing the officials for overturning the Ohio State touchdown. “There is absolutely no way replay should have reversed,” he said. “’Indisputable video evidence’ is simply not there.”

That LSU/Oklahoma game is as good an argument against expanding the college football playoff beyond 4 teams as there is.

Well, several of those are simply "protecting their draft status" guys. And there could be a small eyebrow raise about some of the others too.
