The spread is currently Ohio State -10, and Michigan will cover that. This game will probably be low-scoring and close, similar to 2016 or more likely 2002, where Michigan can move the ball in between the 20s but struggles to punch it in the endzone, and Ohio State's more diverse offense gives them a greater probability of scoring touchdowns to achieve victory. Ohio State winning... let's say 27-23 or 20-16 sounds about right.

I'm going to make a shorter, more condensed version of this video that also talks about how I think these teams will fair in the College Football Playoff (and a potential rematch).
OhioState beat Michigan 17 out of 20 before 3 years ago. Believing that three straight wins automatically guarantees that Michigan will be just as good this year with a almost completely different team and coaches is the definition of insanity
Lol, so pathetic. That's all you got, lolololololololol, just stop, please, go back to Dreamland where life is good and bucks beat Michigan. It is better than reality for you. Sucks cannot beat Michigan, as those days are loooooooong behind that soft football team. Cheers to getting whooped in Columbus again little boy🤣
This is the best rivalry in football! No matter how good either team is the game brings out the best in both! Only the young believe the Buckeyes will blow out TTUN! Ain’t happening! I just want a win!
Definitely not because College Football is much older than college basketball 🏀. OSU vs Michigan is the second oldest fbs football rivalry in American football history.
@@kusansimpson2514 Much older? Hmmm? 127 years versus 104 years. I think the greater measure is how many times they've actually played each other UNC and Duke have played each other 262 time since 1920. Ohio St and Michigan have played each other 116 times. It's not even close. UNC v DUKE is the greater rivalry. Just saying.
I’d argue that 3 wins in a row against incredibly good Buckeye teams (top 2), is more impressive than 8 straight wins against some of the worse Michigan teams of all time, then mostly mediocre teams. And, if we go by Ohio State logic, 10-3 is a bad season, so 2018 and 2016 weren’t great teams according to you guys because that was their record. I can prove this by saying if Ohio State lost to Michigan, Penn State, and Oregon this year, but won 1 playoff/regular bowl game, would you think this was a good year/team?
Honestly they have the most talented team every year but the fact remains they don’t have the physicality and still don’t go blue 〽️〽️we winning the upset
@SBSBuckeyeG When Ohio States lines are being dominated on both sides of the ball for 3 straight years I would venture to say that we have a pattern there ...and a great one at that !
@@tylerderdin7691 for years Ohio State dominated yours line play, adjustments were made and they got out of that. So just using that simple logic shows that teams can progress and fix themselves in a certain area.

@SBSBuckeyeG I never said anything like Ohio State would never win again, but we can always hope 🙏.. Go Blue ! Besides that , most of Michigan's down years when Ohio State did dominate Michigan, it was not in the trenches, where Ohio State did dominate was with their passing game and by spreading the field out with 4 - 5 WR's and QBs who could run, of which was recognized, adjusted to and fixed and why Ohio State has not been winning anymore.
I won't be either way if they go 11-1 or 8-4. Heck if edwards goes down early I can see 7-5 but not hoping for that. But he really all they got on offense and a pretty good TE who has a 54% high school completion QB throwing to him 🤔 this not ncaa 25 video game 🤣

@genghiskhan9269 exactly and he's acting like 5 new offensive line starters are gonna be elite maulers too. Michigan also lost both starting wideouts. Not to mention Orji can't throw the ball

I’m not necessarily arguing, I just think the same should be afforded for any OL.
@@SBSBuckeyeG replacing 2 guys and replacing 5 is a big difference. My point is that time to gel is crucial for michigan with 5 new starters. If michigan had to play osu the 2nd week like texas I would be worried.
Really, my biggest concern for the Wolverines isn't QB play, WR position, the OL, or change in coaching, although those are concerns in ways. My biggest concern is leadership and who takes that responsibility on. A player that motivates both with his performance and words. The guy(s) that rally the men to endure diversity and then persevere to victory. Corum, McCarthy, Sanistril, Jenkins, and Michael Barrett were those guys.
5 DL with AA potential is absurdly optimistic. “Anything is possible” and I really like Benny but that isn’t backed up by realistic analysis. All B1G potential? Sure.
As a Michigan fan living in California, I'm worried that Michigan is looking past their opener with Fresno State, which is very experienced and always play tough. Classic trap game.
Also I fear Michigan is looking past the fact they needed to cheat to elevate their program, and therefore won’t be relevant unless they consider a new cheating scheme
I bleed maize n blue. But they have an absurdly difficult schedule. 3 top 5 opponents! And you’re pickin them to be 11-0 going into the game? That’s really optimistic IMO. I sure hope you’re right…I just don’t see it. Not with the questions at QB & WR plus all the changes in coaches. Those are serious obstacles to overcome not to mention having the toughest schedule in the country. Texas, Oregon, Ohio State? Cmon…that’s just brutal. Good video, keep it up. Go BLUE!!!🤷🏻♂️ Michigan vs everybody.😤😤😤✊🏼
Thisbteam will show a dynamic offense that is run heavy, but will make a lot more big plays. ohio has bought their team. THAT IS THE NEW T SHIRTS. Play that narrative in the Wolverines lockeroom.. this team will be way better than you have a clue
Ohio st has to win this game if they don’t day might be done. I can’t see him surviving there with a 1-4 record vs Michigan. He will be branded John Cooper 2.0 if Ohio st loses again.
I can not wait until OSU fires Day and ends up getting a lesser coach than Day and Michigan has a field day for years after ! It is going to happen at some point , let's hope Michigan wins it's forth in a row and Day does get fired . YAY !
Every year Ohio state “should” beat the wolverines on paper but they will fail to do so once again and here is why: OSU’s talented players are individuals. Michigan’s talented players are teammates. The culture that has been built in double A will not diminish in a year. By the time November rolls around the men in blue will kick ass once again 〽️
If you factor in Ohio State's talent maybe not, but Oregon, Penn State, and Michigan will all be Top 8 teams and I think Nebraska and Iowa will be Top 25 teams.
In terms of difficulty our schedule is the exact same as the team up north’s was last year. Not difficult at all as it stands right now at least. Just really 3 teams to worry about. So we will se what we do with it.
@@simsryan1991 yup, and michigan had an easy schedule last year. It's no shade because you still have to win those big games and make it threw the playoff to win a title.
I love you to death sam, Ive always watched your videos and take your input into consideration.. BUT giving Michigan 11 wins... come on.. vegas isnt anywhere near that.. I dont think Michigan will be top five possibly top 10, but i see them sitting around ranked 11 or 12 at the time of this game. You tell me, Vegas is predicting O/U 8.5 win total.. and you think Michigan is winning 11? come on man throw the bias, as always love you man!
I think Michigan playing Texas in weeks 2 is bad for them. They'll basically have a brand new offense outside of Edward's to get ready and Ewers is a veteran and has weapons. I think its gonna be an amazing game, easily top 3 this year but I think Texas wins 31-21
The pieces on the offensive line are good and there is depth. There is lack of experience in the depth. And like all teams of all time, they need reps together to gel. That is the big question mark.
@SatansShart Well you winning yet another off-season natty might motivate Michigan...sorta' like Michigan winning an on-field natty has motivated ohio.
I’m blowing a whistle on the Oregon so great stuff. They are good but after the 2 losses to Washington last year and what Michigan did to Washington I’m thinking they will NOT steamroll Big Ten as many are saying. As for OSU the only thing that might get them past Michigan is the experience of the Trench players with a lot returning. But those trench players have seen Michigan plenty and haven’t been successful so……..Go Blue!!!!
Winning the offseason hasn’t translated into winning in November. Ohio is still soft on the offensive line. Over the course of 60 minutes they will once again get ground into stubble.
@@uncommonsense5276 Don't be blinded by recent history. For many years prior to the last three years, Ohio State winning the off season recruiting battles HAS translated into victory in November. The last three years have been the highlight and climax of Michigan's run as champs of the BIG for another decade plus because 1. Michigan coaching is down, 2. recruiting is down, 3. the BIG is much tougher to win now than at anytime in the past 30 years because the competition is greater within the BIG. Ohio State & Oregon will be the cream of the BIG crop and Michigan, Pen State, Iowa will be no more than good teams but not elite teams.
@@lerongilchrist9942 right. Oregon got jail sexed by Washington Twice last year and The Suckeyes are offseason champs again. But still soft as tissue paper up front. Enjoy your season until Michigan ruins it again.
@@lerongilchrist9942 the failure in Ohio’s offseason championship was the only addition to the soft as tissue paper OLine was the scrub from Bama who couldn’t snap the ball all season. Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant will feast on that scrub yet again.
I think way too much is being overlooked when it comes to michigan by their fans. They lost a lot not only when it comes to players but also coaches which includes the HC. I am not worried when it comes to osu's o-line cause it was very young a season ago but they have talent. Howard is a 5th yr guy who's led a lesser talented team to a conference title so qb does not worry me.
The question is, can Ryan Day get it done again. Let's not act like he hasn't beat them already unlike harbaugh who started 0-6 vs osu cause that duck yr is an L
OSU ten points - likely going OSU’s way. MI had three of its best games ever BTBTB v some of OSU’s best ever. Really glad Day chased McCord - for all the disparagement in first year McCord was excellent. His first INT not much worse only unluckier than JJ v AL - and 2nd desperate not as bad as either of #2 draft seems close to history’s best Stroud’s. Returning 5* QB’s seems excellent - and any new QB outside Burrows or Williams unlikely to be immediate upgrade over 11-1 5* in first year with a last possession drive in Mich territory the difference. MI has 3/4 CFP favorites - and OSU has OR MI PSU IA - WINNER earns it - and this year’s The Game effort likely as intense as Natty final.
Also Corum average was 4.o ypp, compared to Trayanum averaged 6.2 ypp. I would say Ohio state controlled the line of scrimmage better then you think last year.
Ahhhh, yes. For the 4th year in a row, all of the experts will pick OSUx to beat (National Champion) Michigan. Michigan 24, anOSU 16 (for my way-too-early prediction).
You keep going back to previous games to bring up points for this game when michigan has all new coaches. Michigan fans thinking things just stay the same are in for a rude awakening.
“Deeper” RB room is simply false. There’s validity to saying “better” but Henderson’s propensity to miss games means it’s Judkins and a true frosh at times. RB is often a position of attrition and OSU isn’t deep. Certainly not deeper than Michigan.
@@eric50gobucks That’s definitely the consensus. I’m not sure it’s as clear as everyone else is. But my point is, even if better, OSU is obviously, not deeper at RB.
The changes ohio has made between the 2022 season and now, is trying to be more like michigan. I just don't see the immitation being better than the real thing head to head. Not to mention, ohio needs an elite QB in order to make their offense function on all cylinders and win the big games, and they simply don't have that. Howard isn't any better than mccord, and might be worse. Everybody talking about hiw great ohio is going to be this year and how UM is going to take a big step back is just going to feed into ohio's arrogance and make them overlook UM. There's a reason people refer to ohio as the offseason and/on on paper champions, and It'll be on full display again this year.
OSU offseason champs has been getting to their heads too much. Biggest cause for their fails against them maize and blue dawgs. Maybe they should stop relying on stars and work as a team.
I think OSU will finally win this year under Day… so does Vegas as the spread as doubled since it opened… Caleb Downs and Quinshon Judkins are insane additions… Quinshon can be the best RB in the big ten and Caleb Downs will be the best defensive player in the big ten… I was a huge Caleb downs fan when he was on bama
Donovan Edwards is the best running back in Big ten no debate. Michigan defense is still #1 best in college football. Ohio State go lose 4 in a row vs Michigan 💯💯💯
@@JuwwnDunbar bro as a true freshman Quinshon led the SEC in rushing… Donovan is probably #2 but I have to see how he performs as the workhorse back every week before I say that… we haven’t seen that yet from Donovan over a whole season coz of Corum
Graham is elite but grant is overrated for me. The de's are good not great. This is the first yr since 2020 where I see osu as the better dline because of it's talent and depth. Michigan fans want to convince you their oline will be elite even though it wasn't that last yr it was more depth and all starters being 4th and 5th yr guys. I see and osu blowout.
Wait so let me get this straight half of Michigan teams left for the nfl along with harbought there best players mainly . And now ohio talking smack nice one ohio 😂 really sad
Some interesting data to consider, Darren Talks Ball just put out a composite team ranking based on the last 4 years of recruiting + transfer portal (from On3). Even with Michigan losing all that talent to the NFL - they still have a better roster on paper than Ohio State. 1.Oregon, 2. USC, 3. Michigan, #4. Ohio State ruclips.net/video/cZ0BNe5Meyc/видео.html
I’m so tired of people thinking how good ohio will be. They downgraded at Qb and WR, their most important positions. They’re weak at DT and LB, the positions that Michigan has to run block. They downgraded at OC and Day is still their head coach. Michigan was a touchdown dog going to columbus last time. How’d that turn out? I don’t see how them or anyone for that matter is going to be able to stop both Edwards AND Orji in the run game. You gotta stop falling for the media hype. They have still not addressed the main reason Michigan has beaten them which is OL/DL. Their DEs have done absolutely nothing against Michigan. Henderson has done nothing against Michigan. Harrison bailed them out so much last year and he’s gone. Once they start developing well on the LOS and bring in portal guys on the LOS then I’ll worry. Until then I predict not only will Michigan win but it won’t even be close
They added Alabama’s best player in Caleb downs and the best RB in the SEC LOL… it is a very improved team… Jermaih Smith can be a instant impact freshman WR he was not just the #1 WR recruit he was the best recruit in 247 rankings
@@noah.conley I want you to go look how Downs did against Michigan last year. He was run over and burnt multiple times. And only one rb can be on the field at a time. One of those guys is gonna get hurt, just a matter of which one
@@MasonShinrockmy dad is a huge Michigan fan! bro you must be a casual or in denial lmao… I watched every second of the rose bowl downs played good (he picked JJ off to start the game but it got overturned)… he was arguably the best coverage player in college football last year as a true freshman… he will be a top 10 pick in the nfl in two years lol, he is really really good… just coz he plays for OSU you can’t down play talent… he was one of best players in the SEC/country as a true freshman so he can get even better
Well Mason we’re sick of your arrogance. In addition to, everything you said was completely asinine. Ohio State has a top five rated D line. Our wideouts are compete studs. The O line will be better than last year, you know the one that ran over your butts in the last two minutes of the game last year. You have no cred…none. The fact is, Ohio State has a world class roster and will bury you in Columbus. Also your sorry rear ends are going to get sanctioned and punished by the NCAA for the Stalions cheating
This is a preseason prediction, and my thoughts could easily change depending on how the Wolverines and Buckeyes look in the regular season. As I said in this video, Michigan has MULTIPLE pathways to beat Ohio State. This game won't be a blowout like some in Columbus want to believe, but Michigan won't just waltz in and have their way like some in Ann Arbor believe.
Michigan WILL have their way. Name me one player on OSU’s o-line that won’t get put on roller skates by Mason Graham, KG, Derrick Moore, and Josiah Stewart, I’ll wait… JS and DM had 1 less sack than JTT and Jack Sawyer last season as BACKUPS! I know you’re trying to sound fair to OSU but come on. The factors are right in front of our faces. Henderson got popped by Mikey Sainristil last year and he’s supposed to be a tough running back. Henderson has what, 2td’s in 3 years against Michigan? And now we’re supposed to worry about Judkins? Chip Trayanum and Miyan Williams are better than Judkins and we shut them down the past 3 years as well. They don’t have MHJ, JSN, Wilson, and Olave to save them. Carnell Tate? Brandon Inniss? No Cade Stover? Come on. Look at Will Howard! Can’t throw for 2300 yards against Big 12 defenses and now you think he can do better against B1G defenses? Caleb Downs isn’t helping against a running team. Somny Styles isn’t enough at LB. Denzel Burnt Toast got burnt by a 6th round WR in Cornelius in 2022 on the deep post. Tommy Two Brain Cells(sorry, Two Thumbs) is gone, Mike Hall is gone. Lathan Ransom is bad at fundamentals. There’s so many weaknesses to this OSU team and it’s not even funny. To say that OSU in any way is favored to win is ludicrous.
Bro stop hyping ohio State up every off season when ya go give up?? Osu with Ryan day not going nowhere and ohio state go lose 4 in a row vs Michigan 💯💯💯. Michigan go kick ohio state ass in the shoe again💯💯 book it. Donovan Edwards go have another huge historical game in the shoe
Sam, Michigan is always who they are. You buying in to the hype is concerning. Michigan interestingly doesn’t need a lot of top end quarterback play. This is the only perceived gap between the two. Expect Michigan to have a similar toughness and upgrade on the defensive side. Michigan will win by 2-3 possessions.
Ryan Day is buying the most expensive and talented college football team in history. Michigan is rebuilding with back up players from last year's NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. SO. . . the spread for this year's game in Columbus SHOULD be double digits. Right! Wrong. . . let's watch Ohio fans pucker tightly as the clock ticks down. Day is a LOSER.
Why Ohio State will win should he a 5 second video consisting of anyone with a brain stem saying, “They won’t… they suck ass”. That is the only logical take on OSU. I see all I needed to see in the interview with Joel Klatt. Nothing has changed. Sure OSU has a bunch of depth like Michigan last year. Difference is, MICHIGAN ACTUALLY ROTATES PLAYERS! The reason why nobody has heard of these underclassmen before is because they only let the stars play. They don’t rotate their lineup consistently enough to get meaningful experience for other players. Ryan Day is too scared to run the ball. We saw that in the Mizzou game. Still hasn’t learned how to adjust. Michigan 28 OSU 20. CJ Stroud, MHJ, Wilson, Olave, JSN ain’t here to save y’all. Brandon Inniss and Carnell Taint ain’t gonna be enough. Will Howard can’t even throw 2300 yards against Big 12 garbage defenses all of a sudden I’m supposed to believe he can compete with B1G defense? Yeahhhh okay sure. Josiah Stewart and Derrick Moore had one less sack last season than JTT and Jack Sawyer… Stewart and Moore were BACKUPS! There’s levels to this! OSU is not on Michigan’s level! Michigan was not on OSU’s level in the 2010’s and early 2000’s. Whether Michigan fans wanna admit it or not, it’s true. Now it’s flipped. Now OSU gets Michigan cards for Father’s Day.
I don’t think Michigan has a chance so does Vegas spread opened at -5 OSU now it is -9.5… Quinshon Judkins and Caleb downs will be huge X factors in the game this year
@@johnnyoldenjr. true but Ohio state has the deepest roster in college football behind Georgia! Michigan just doesn’t have the star power that OSU does… their transfer portal class isn’t even fair to the rest of the big ten
The spread is currently Ohio State -10, and Michigan will cover that. This game will probably be low-scoring and close, similar to 2016 or more likely 2002, where Michigan can move the ball in between the 20s but struggles to punch it in the endzone, and Ohio State's more diverse offense gives them a greater probability of scoring touchdowns to achieve victory.

Really, my biggest concern for the Wolverines isn't QB play, WR position, the OL, or change in coaching, although those are concerns in ways. My biggest concern is leadership and who takes that responsibility on. A player that motivates both with his performance and words. The guy(s) that rally the men to endure diversity and then persevere to victory.
Corum, McCarthy, Sanistril, Jenkins, and Michael Barrett were those guys.
The biggest loss from the team last year is losing Connor
My biggest concern is Sherrone won’t have continuity of culture if he doesn’t find a new Cheater-in-Chief
5 DL with AA potential is absurdly optimistic. “Anything is possible” and I really like Benny but that isn’t backed up by realistic analysis. All B1G potential? Sure.
As a Michigan fan living in California, I'm worried that Michigan is looking past their opener with Fresno State, which is very experienced and always play tough. Classic trap game.
Also I fear Michigan is looking past the fact they needed to cheat to elevate their program, and therefore won’t be relevant unless they consider a new cheating scheme
I bleed maize n blue. But they have an absurdly difficult schedule. 3 top 5 opponents! And you’re pickin them to be 11-0 going into the game? That’s really optimistic IMO. I sure hope you’re right…I just don’t see it. Not with the questions at QB & WR plus all the changes in coaches. Those are serious obstacles to overcome not to mention having the toughest schedule in the country. Texas, Oregon, Ohio State? Cmon…that’s just brutal. Good video, keep it up. Go BLUE!!!🤷🏻♂️
Michigan vs everybody.😤😤😤✊🏼
Phil Steele thinks OhioState has the better defensive line
Thisbteam will show a dynamic offense that is run heavy, but will make a lot more big plays. ohio has bought their team. THAT IS THE NEW T SHIRTS. Play that narrative in the Wolverines lockeroom.. this team will be way better than you have a clue
Ohio st has to win this game if they don’t day might be done. I can’t see him surviving there with a 1-4 record vs Michigan. He will be branded John Cooper 2.0 if Ohio st loses again.
Chip Kelly intern coach the playoffs if Day loses in C-Bus
@jackharrington697
“OSU has to win …or Day might be done.”
Wow, you’re really putting your neck out there on that bold take
I can not wait until OSU fires Day and ends up getting a lesser coach than Day and Michigan has a field day for years after ! It is going to happen at some point , let's hope Michigan wins it's forth in a row and Day does get fired . YAY !
@@tylerderdin7691😂😂😂😂😂not happening
Jeremiah is gonna absolutely expose Michigans number 2 corner.
Will Johnson probably will be checking Smith. Jyaire Hill/Aamir Hall on Emeka Egbuka. Regardless they definitely won’t be able to pass on Michigan
@@JoshWhitehorn😂
@@JoshWhitehornwill Johnson will be hard to throw on but 2 nobody transfers? A healthy Egbuka and Carnell Tate will eat them alive.
Every year Ohio state “should” beat the wolverines on paper but they will fail to do so once again and here is why: OSU’s talented players are individuals. Michigan’s talented players are teammates. The culture that has been built in double A will not diminish in a year. By the time November rolls around the men in blue will kick ass once again 〽️
😂😂😂 osu schedule is not that hard
If you factor in Ohio State's talent maybe not, but Oregon, Penn State, and Michigan will all be Top 8 teams and I think Nebraska and Iowa will be Top 25 teams.
In terms of difficulty our schedule is the exact same as the team up north’s was last year. Not difficult at all as it stands right now at least. Just really 3 teams to worry about. So we will se what we do with it.
@@simsryan1991 yup, and michigan had an easy schedule last year. It's no shade because you still have to win those big games and make it threw the playoff to win a title.
I love you to death sam, Ive always watched your videos and take your input into consideration.. BUT giving Michigan 11 wins... come on.. vegas isnt anywhere near that.. I dont think Michigan will be top five possibly top 10, but i see them sitting around ranked 11 or 12 at the time of this game. You tell me, Vegas is predicting O/U 8.5 win total.. and you think Michigan is winning 11? come on man throw the bias, as always love you man!
This is my problem with CFBwSam… he has a right to be a homer, but stop presenting the podcast as being as unbiased and neutral as possible
If Michigan is a top 5 team when they play Ohio State they have survived a bear of a schedule and will be hard to beat.
By the tike these 2 teams play Osu will be incrdible with Jeremiah Smith being the best wr in cfb and judkins and henderson being unstoppable.
Michigan would have been better suited for the upcoming schedule with last year’s roster.
I think Michigan playing Texas in weeks 2 is bad for them. They'll basically have a brand new offense outside of Edward's to get ready and Ewers is a veteran and has weapons. I think its gonna be an amazing game, easily top 3 this year but I think Texas wins 31-21
They have nothing better to do than cry,and assume as they always do.
The pieces on the offensive line are good and there is depth. There is lack of experience in the depth. And like all teams of all time, they need reps together to gel. That is the big question mark.
@collegefootballwithsam Will you be giving your predictions for the other conferences?
I plan to, yes.
Several reliable sources tell me Michigan will be ranked at least number #2 if not #1 in the polls by the start of the season
@SatansShart Well you winning yet another off-season natty might motivate Michigan...sorta' like Michigan winning an on-field natty has motivated ohio.
I’m blowing a whistle on the Oregon so great stuff. They are good but after the 2 losses to Washington last year and what Michigan did to Washington I’m thinking they will NOT steamroll Big Ten as many are saying. As for OSU the only thing that might get them past Michigan is the experience of the Trench players with a lot returning. But those trench players have seen Michigan plenty and haven’t been successful so……..Go Blue!!!!
The Buckeyes will blow Michigan out this year. The game will not be close like Ohio St. v. Oregon.
Winning the offseason hasn’t translated into winning in November. Ohio is still soft on the offensive line. Over the course of 60 minutes they will once again get ground into stubble.
@@uncommonsense5276 Don't be blinded by recent history. For many years prior to the last three years, Ohio State winning the off season recruiting battles HAS translated into victory in November. The last three years have been the highlight and climax of Michigan's run as champs of the BIG for another decade plus because 1. Michigan coaching is down, 2. recruiting is down, 3. the BIG is much tougher to win now than at anytime in the past 30 years because the competition is greater within the BIG. Ohio State & Oregon will be the cream of the BIG crop and Michigan, Pen State, Iowa will be no more than good teams but not elite teams.
@@lerongilchrist9942 right. Oregon got jail sexed by Washington Twice last year and The Suckeyes are offseason champs again. But still soft as tissue paper up front. Enjoy your season until Michigan ruins it again.
@@lerongilchrist9942 the failure in Ohio’s offseason championship was the only addition to the soft as tissue paper OLine was the scrub from Bama who couldn’t snap the ball all season. Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant will feast on that scrub yet again.
I think way too much is being overlooked when it comes to michigan by their fans. They lost a lot not only when it comes to players but also coaches which includes the HC. I am not worried when it comes to osu's o-line cause it was very young a season ago but they have talent. Howard is a 5th yr guy who's led a lesser talented team to a conference title so qb does not worry me.
No shot Michigan gets through both Oregon and Texas. It's at home but I believe both those teams will be better than them
How? Those teams havent won big games
Texas is not as physical and will get beat up by Michigan , Oregon will be a much bigger problem imo.
@@TheGoodTherapist new season, Michigan isn’t the same team as last year. Offense will drop off, defense will still be good tho
@@tylerderdin7691 Oregon wasn’t tougher than UW. Texas was last years version of Michigan vs TCU. I think Michigan can beat both.
The question is, can Ryan Day get it done again. Let's not act like he hasn't beat them already unlike harbaugh who started 0-6 vs osu cause that duck yr is an L
OSU ten points - likely going OSU’s way. MI had three of its best games ever BTBTB v some of OSU’s best ever. Really glad Day chased McCord - for all the disparagement in first year McCord was excellent. His first INT not much worse only unluckier than JJ v AL - and 2nd desperate not as bad as either of #2 draft seems close to history’s best Stroud’s. Returning 5* QB’s seems excellent - and any new QB outside Burrows or Williams unlikely to be immediate upgrade over 11-1 5* in first year with a last possession drive in Mich territory the difference. MI has 3/4 CFP favorites - and OSU has OR MI PSU IA - WINNER earns it - and this year’s The Game effort likely as intense as Natty final.
Henderson had more yards per carry then Edwards last year in the game 🤫
Also Corum average was 4.o ypp, compared to Trayanum averaged 6.2 ypp. I would say Ohio state controlled the line of scrimmage better then you think last year.
Ahhhh, yes. For the 4th year in a row, all of the experts will pick OSUx to beat (National Champion) Michigan. Michigan 24, anOSU 16 (for my way-too-early prediction).
You keep going back to previous games to bring up points for this game when michigan has all new coaches. Michigan fans thinking things just stay the same are in for a rude awakening.
“Deeper” RB room is simply false. There’s validity to saying “better” but Henderson’s propensity to miss games means it’s Judkins and a true frosh at times. RB is often a position of attrition and OSU isn’t deep. Certainly not deeper than Michigan.
Theyre straight up better at the position🤷♂️
@@eric50gobucks That’s definitely the consensus. I’m not sure it’s as clear as everyone else is. But my point is, even if better, OSU is obviously, not deeper at RB.
Michigan no longer has any of these blockers. This guy is stuck on the past
Why is michigans previous team has anything to do with next season and the better part of 70% of that team including coaches are gone
Not beating texas definitely not or oregon
The changes ohio has made between the 2022 season and now, is trying to be more like michigan. I just don't see the immitation being better than the real thing head to head. Not to mention, ohio needs an elite QB in order to make their offense function on all cylinders and win the big games, and they simply don't have that. Howard isn't any better than mccord, and might be worse.
Everybody talking about hiw great ohio is going to be this year and how UM is going to take a big step back is just going to feed into ohio's arrogance and make them overlook UM. There's a reason people refer to ohio as the offseason and/on on paper champions, and It'll be on full display again this year.
OSU offseason champs has been getting to their heads too much. Biggest cause for their fails against them maize and blue dawgs. Maybe they should stop relying on stars and work as a team.
Is this from last year? This doesn't make any sense whatsoever
The Buck$ are national champions every year and then the real football season starts. B S never won the Natty.
I think OSU will finally win this year under Day… so does Vegas as the spread as doubled since it opened… Caleb Downs and Quinshon Judkins are insane additions… Quinshon can be the best RB in the big ten and Caleb Downs will be the best defensive player in the big ten… I was a huge Caleb downs fan when he was on bama
Donovan Edwards is the best running back in Big ten no debate. Michigan defense is still #1 best in college football. Ohio State go lose 4 in a row vs Michigan 💯💯💯
@@JuwwnDunbar bro as a true freshman Quinshon led the SEC in rushing… Donovan is probably #2 but I have to see how he performs as the workhorse back every week before I say that… we haven’t seen that yet from Donovan over a whole season coz of Corum
Edwards was very average last year, has to prove it this year before u crown him.
@@edandra615 Edwards go win the Heisman this year he's now rb1 🔥🔥🔥
@@noah.conley Donovan Edwards is in the Heisman race this year. Donovan fasho better than quinshon💯💯💯
Graham is elite but grant is overrated for me. The de's are good not great. This is the first yr since 2020 where I see osu as the better dline because of it's talent and depth. Michigan fans want to convince you their oline will be elite even though it wasn't that last yr it was more depth and all starters being 4th and 5th yr guys. I see and osu blowout.
Wait so let me get this straight half of Michigan teams left for the nfl along with harbought there best players mainly . And now ohio talking smack nice one ohio 😂 really sad
Some interesting data to consider, Darren Talks Ball just put out a composite team ranking based on the last 4 years of recruiting + transfer portal (from On3). Even with Michigan losing all that talent to the NFL - they still have a better roster on paper than Ohio State. 1.Oregon, 2. USC, 3. Michigan, #4. Ohio State ruclips.net/video/cZ0BNe5Meyc/видео.html
😂😂😂
Sam, is this a projection like saying WR blocking or elite DB play when we don’t know yet or is this what you currently think?
Kinda the same thing
Short answer, no
They do these same videos everyyyyyy year 😂
I’m so tired of people thinking how good ohio will be. They downgraded at Qb and WR, their most important positions. They’re weak at DT and LB, the positions that Michigan has to run block. They downgraded at OC and Day is still their head coach. Michigan was a touchdown dog going to columbus last time. How’d that turn out? I don’t see how them or anyone for that matter is going to be able to stop both Edwards AND Orji in the run game. You gotta stop falling for the media hype. They have still not addressed the main reason Michigan has beaten them which is OL/DL. Their DEs have done absolutely nothing against Michigan. Henderson has done nothing against Michigan. Harrison bailed them out so much last year and he’s gone. Once they start developing well on the LOS and bring in portal guys on the LOS then I’ll worry. Until then I predict not only will Michigan win but it won’t even be close
They added Alabama’s best player in Caleb downs and the best RB in the SEC LOL… it is a very improved team… Jermaih Smith can be a instant impact freshman WR he was not just the #1 WR recruit he was the best recruit in 247 rankings
@@noah.conley I want you to go look how Downs did against Michigan last year. He was run over and burnt multiple times. And only one rb can be on the field at a time. One of those guys is gonna get hurt, just a matter of which one
@@MasonShinrockmy dad is a huge Michigan fan! bro you must be a casual or in denial lmao… I watched every second of the rose bowl downs played good (he picked JJ off to start the game but it got overturned)… he was arguably the best coverage player in college football last year as a true freshman… he will be a top 10 pick in the nfl in two years lol, he is really really good… just coz he plays for OSU you can’t down play talent… he was one of best players in the SEC/country as a true freshman so he can get even better
Well Mason we’re sick of your arrogance.
In addition to, everything you said was completely asinine. Ohio State has a top five rated D line.
Our wideouts are compete studs. The O line will be better than last year, you know the one that ran over your butts in the last two minutes of the game last year. You have no cred…none.
The fact is, Ohio State has a world class roster and will bury you in Columbus.
Also your sorry rear ends are going to get sanctioned and punished by the NCAA for the Stalions cheating
We downgraded at WR and QB, and OL too 😂. This is not going to be some unstoppable offense.
Better running back room ??? you need to look at Michigans back field again!
OSU indeed has a better running back room. Check recruits and power rankings
BET
Bet
Go blue
Wanna bet? Day is the HC, in case you forgot! LOL.... I will be back here when the mighty Wolverines destroy OSU in the Horseshoe!
Will you still come back and admit you were wrong if they dont?
This is a preseason prediction, and my thoughts could easily change depending on how the Wolverines and Buckeyes look in the regular season. As I said in this video, Michigan has MULTIPLE pathways to beat Ohio State. This game won't be a blowout like some in Columbus want to believe, but Michigan won't just waltz in and have their way like some in Ann Arbor believe.
Michigan WILL have their way. Name me one player on OSU’s o-line that won’t get put on roller skates by Mason Graham, KG, Derrick Moore, and Josiah Stewart, I’ll wait… JS and DM had 1 less sack than JTT and Jack Sawyer last season as BACKUPS! I know you’re trying to sound fair to OSU but come on. The factors are right in front of our faces. Henderson got popped by Mikey Sainristil last year and he’s supposed to be a tough running back. Henderson has what, 2td’s in 3 years against Michigan? And now we’re supposed to worry about Judkins? Chip Trayanum and Miyan Williams are better than Judkins and we shut them down the past 3 years as well. They don’t have MHJ, JSN, Wilson, and Olave to save them. Carnell Tate? Brandon Inniss? No Cade Stover? Come on. Look at Will Howard! Can’t throw for 2300 yards against Big 12 defenses and now you think he can do better against B1G defenses? Caleb Downs isn’t helping against a running team. Somny Styles isn’t enough at LB. Denzel Burnt Toast got burnt by a 6th round WR in Cornelius in 2022 on the deep post. Tommy Two Brain Cells(sorry, Two Thumbs) is gone, Mike Hall is gone. Lathan Ransom is bad at fundamentals. There’s so many weaknesses to this OSU team and it’s not even funny. To say that OSU in any way is favored to win is ludicrous.
Facts 💯💯. Michigan go beat Ohio State for 4 in a row 💯
@@collegefootballwithsamI mean, I’ve seen Michigan fans say they are going to blowout OSU, as the above comment shows when he says “destroy”
Bro stop hyping ohio State up every off season when ya go give up?? Osu with Ryan day not going nowhere and ohio state go lose 4 in a row vs Michigan 💯💯💯. Michigan go kick ohio state ass in the shoe again💯💯 book it. Donovan Edwards go have another huge historical game in the shoe
At this point you guys are doing these types of videos for views. I cannot wait until the wolverines shut everyone up AGAIN
Sam, Michigan is always who they are. You buying in to the hype is concerning. Michigan interestingly doesn’t need a lot of top end quarterback play. This is the only perceived gap between the two. Expect Michigan to have a similar toughness and upgrade on the defensive side. Michigan will win by 2-3 possessions.
Ryan Day is buying the most expensive and talented college football team in history. Michigan is rebuilding with back up players from last year's NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
SO. . . the spread for this year's game in Columbus SHOULD be double digits. Right!
Wrong. . . let's watch Ohio fans pucker tightly as the clock ticks down. Day is a LOSER.
I got something like OSU 28-13. Michigan's offense might be too limited against that defense
Ur takes are horrible of late
Why Ohio State will win should he a 5 second video consisting of anyone with a brain stem saying, “They won’t… they suck ass”. That is the only logical take on OSU. I see all I needed to see in the interview with Joel Klatt. Nothing has changed. Sure OSU has a bunch of depth like Michigan last year. Difference is, MICHIGAN ACTUALLY ROTATES PLAYERS! The reason why nobody has heard of these underclassmen before is because they only let the stars play. They don’t rotate their lineup consistently enough to get meaningful experience for other players. Ryan Day is too scared to run the ball. We saw that in the Mizzou game. Still hasn’t learned how to adjust. Michigan 28 OSU 20. CJ Stroud, MHJ, Wilson, Olave, JSN ain’t here to save y’all. Brandon Inniss and Carnell Taint ain’t gonna be enough. Will Howard can’t even throw 2300 yards against Big 12 garbage defenses all of a sudden I’m supposed to believe he can compete with B1G defense? Yeahhhh okay sure. Josiah Stewart and Derrick Moore had one less sack last season than JTT and Jack Sawyer… Stewart and Moore were BACKUPS! There’s levels to this! OSU is not on Michigan’s level! Michigan was not on OSU’s level in the 2010’s and early 2000’s. Whether Michigan fans wanna admit it or not, it’s true. Now it’s flipped. Now OSU gets Michigan cards for Father’s Day.
Ummmm. We have owned u since 2000. Literally owned u. It all goes back to normal this year. We are better. Period
