Ari, what's your vote?

No, Ohio State's more talented, but Ohio State was more talented last year, too, I would say across the board.

Yeah, they brought in some targeted, you know, they brought in some targeted transfer guys to fill some spots.

I don't know that I don't think they'll be as good, but I just think he's a wizard.

So, Matt, are you in Miami also?

Who else are you picking?

But it's interesting, Ari.

So, Ari, you want to think of like Miami forward thinking, but do you think of Indiana as forward thinking?

I think it's crazy to say anything other than that.

It's USC is, is the, the, the pivot point of this big 10 season because they play everybody.

And if they're good, they play Oregon, they play Washington, they play Penn state, they play Ohio state, they play Indiana.

And if they're good and they win a couple of those games, because like, those are all teams we think can make the playoff Indiana, Ohio state.

Oregon, Penn State with an easy schedule, right?

That that might be Penn State's toughest game is USC.

If USC starts beating people, Matt, to your point, like if Oregon goes to USC early in the season and USC wins, like I think all bets are off in the Big Ten race.

And we don't know how those dominoes are going to fall now.

And it's like a Jenga tower built on Lincoln Riley.

So I don't think anyone thinks USC is going to go to Indiana and win.

They get Oregon and Ohio State at their place.

If they win one of those two games, if they beat Oregon and Ohio State, it shifts.
