Texas left weird when they got left out.

How good's USC?

How good's Michigan?

How good's Iowa?

How good is the second tier of Ohio State wins would matter, I think.

Don't make me get my sword out.

So listen, this is the other thing that I think is possibly happening with Ohio State is there's justifiably a lot of attention on, as I already mentioned, the NFL guys might have whatever, five first-round picks.

Bill Connolly's returning production is out on ESPN as we record this on a Monday, which is a wonderful day in college football.

Of the 138 FBS teams, Ohio State's 31st in returning production.

Now, they lost a lot off their defense.

They're eighth in offensive returning production.

They have their quarterback back.

They have the best receiver in college football back.

They have their main running back back.

And they have four of their five offensive line starters back.

So I do think that, again, if you're taking just like a, oh, they lost a lot of talent.

They did.

and they're going to have a hard time replacing some of those defensive guys.

But there is a core, Landis, of offensive experience that is back that I think maybe if you're thinking like tough schedule, they lost a lot, 9-3.

They actually have some key guys back.
