[Bestbuck36]

We'll pass VA within the next month!

 

[Oh8ch]

We have been near the top before, but I can't recall our average star ranking ever being that high.

 

[tibor75]

Yeah, this is fun and all, but really does it matter? Our amazing 2002 class has helped bring both a national title...and one of the most embarrassing 3 game stretches in OSU history...

 

[tsteele316]

going by rivals current rankings, a verbal commitment by lawrence wilson will put OSU ahead of UVA.


However, come the end of the season, osu will likely be somewhere around 10.

and winner of the "Most predictable post" contest goes to........

 

[Holy Buckeye!]

Lol

 

[brutus2002]

TSTEEL WHO WILL BE THE NINE TEAMS AHEAD OF US? Your out of your mind. We will be at least top 5. If we get either Stewart or Wells that will give us 5 top 100 players.

Ummmmm---

If you win a another National Championship... no one cares about at three game losing streak.

Answer is... If I can't get one without the other... no problem.

The problem is that we will only have 20 commits. Teams like fsu, UF lsu etc, sign about 25-28 every year due to academic casualties. OSU wont be at the bottom of the top 10 for lack of quality, it will be due to lack of quantity.

just look at the point totals associated. osu has 1260. with the final 9 we are targeting, 2000 is a likely outcome for total points. historically, that puts you anywhere from #5-#12.

in 2004, 2000 points was good enough for 9th.

in 2003, 2000 points was good enough for 7th.

in 2002, 2000 points was good enough for 11th.
http://rivals100.rivals.com/teamrank.asp?Year=2002

all you have to do is look ath the number of commits for a majority of the top 5-10 teams. only having 20 commits makes it nearly impossible to have a high ranking class.

 

[slobberknocker]

I could careless about our ranking as long as we get who we want and need


Thx bn27 for the post

Yeah, Rashmish...blame the 2002 class and not the fucking shitty coaching that Bollman has given them. If the OL hasn't sucked so bad the last two years, we're not 9-5 over the last 13 games and 4-4 over the last eight games.

We don't know if it's Bollman's fault or not..the only way to tell for sure is to fire his ass and look for improvement next year. I"m all for that experiment.

A lot of the top ranked teams last year (LSU, FSU, Miami) had 27-28 commits, so they won't have near that this year. Hell, LSU had 28 commits in 2003 also, and 26 in 2002, so they won't be signing shit this year with 82 commits over the last three years. So the lower amount of commits as a whole across the board this year will make 2,000 points "worth more" this year.

The problem is the schools that sign those large numbers do so because they have many academic casualties. That is why they sign large classes year after year. This year will be no exception.
