No. 5 LSU | No. 7 Stanford | Top 25No. 6: Ohio StateLast Season: 12-1 (7-1 Big Ten East)The Buckeyes are the least experienced team in the country, but theyve had the best recruiting class in the Big Ten each of the past five years, so talent isnt an issue. OSU ranks very well in all eight position units: In particular, the LBs (10th best), QBs (11th), D-line (15th), O-line (10th), defensive backs (18th) and the special teams (11th) all crack the top 20 in my rankings. And senior QB J.T. Barrett will again provide a dangerous dual threat (22 TDs in 262 total plays last year). But theyll be dogs at OU (+7), draw Wisconsin (-3) and Penn State (-6) on the road in back-to-back weeks and face MSU and Michigan in the seasons final two weeks.IN IF... It can stay unbeatable on the road. OSU is 18-0 in road games under Urban Meyer, but the Buckeyes travel to Norman, Madison, State College and East Lansing this year.OUT IF... Barrett isnt his 2014 self: His QBR dropped from 87.1 in 2014 (No. 2 in the FBS) to 76.9 last year (No. 18).Ohio States chances to win each game 09.03 vs. Bowling Green: 94.8% 09.10 vs. Tulsa: 93.4% 09.17 @ Oklahoma: 19.0% 10.01 vs. Rutgers: 91.4% 10.08 vs. Indiana: 88.9% 10.15 @ Wisconsin: 55.1% 10.22 @ Penn State:?57.0% 10.29 vs. Northwestern: 84.9% 11.05 vs. Nebraska: 71.8% 11.12 @ Maryland: 83.9% 11.19 @ Michigan State: 60.2% 11.26 vs Michigan: 51.6%Urban Meyers young Buckeyes will flirt with greatness at times, but their youthfulness will lead to a Week 3 loss at Oklahoma and one conference setback, landing them at 10-2 and robbing J.T. Barrett & Co. of a playoff berth.?-- Brian BennettGet ready to learn some new household names this season. The Buckeyes return an FBS-worst six starters, but theres still no denying the talent on this team. Young players like RB Mike Weber and WR Noah Brown should help lift OSU to a 10-2 record.?-- Josh MoyerWeve this seen pattern before. An Meyer-coached team returns a bevy of NFL talent from a national championship season and disappoints. Meyers Florida team followed up a disappointing 2007 with another title in 08. An early trip to Oklahoma gives the 16 Buckeyes a chance to make the playoffs even if they finish with a 10-2 record.?-- Dan MurphyExpectations never change at Ohio State under Meyer, but returning only six starters could make life more difficult than usual. A loss at Oklahoma is likely, and a stumble in conference play seems probable, as the Buckeyes finish 10-2 while remaining in the Big Ten East race until the end. -- Jesse Temple?The Buckeyes are obviously young, but nobody in the Big Ten has a higher ceiling than Meyers team. There could be growing pains, but just like the 2014 team, once Ohio State gets rolling, an 11-1 record and a conference crown are in reach.?-- Austin WardNo. 5 LSU | No. 7 Stanford | Top 25 Cool Jordans For Sale .

He says the triceps inflammation which shelved him for six weeks earlier this season is a non-issue. The troublesome tendinitis in his left knee, mentioned this week by manager John Gibbons and repeated by catcher J.P. Arencibia, isnt the reason Johnsons struggled so badly. “Ive had it since I was 11 years old so its nothing new,” said Johnson. “Sometimes itll be sore but actually it feels as best it has all year so not one bit.” Barring the unforeseen, Johnson will be getting the ball on Tuesday in Seattle. To add to the woes of his personal six-game losing streak, Johnson is scheduled to line up against “King” Felix Hernandez. There he was, more than three hours before the start of Saturdays game against the Angels, getting in his usual bullpen work in between starts. Johnson made a footing adjustment his last time out, throwing from the extreme first base side of the mound. The change can be measured in a matter of inches but for a pitcher accustomed to routine, it feels like a longer move. “I think that maybe just getting comfortable on that side of the rubber,” said Johnson, “thats a big part of it. We worked on it and threw some curveballs today, finally throwing them for strikes and being able to bounce it. Just much tighter spin. The slider was good and tried to take a little bit off the split, so it was a good bullpen; a really good bullpen.” Johnson suggested Saturdays side season was much better than his recent bullpens, expressing hope that his work would translate into better results in a game. He needs them. In Johnsons last six starts, all losses on his personal record, hes allowed 28 earned runs in 28 innings for an even 9.00 ERA. Dating back seven starts, Johnson has allowed multiple runs in the inning in which he allows his first base runner of the game. In his last two outings, losses to Houston and the Los Angeles Angels, hes spotted opponents four runs in the first inning. The statistics are hideous but to Johnsoons credit hes not hiding from them.dddddddddddd Inquiring minds gather around his locker stall and hes willing to oblige. The numbers, the reminders, they take a toll but he insists during a game he isnt distracted. “Once Im out of the game or in between innings you get pretty frustrated but youve just got to push all that aside and find ways to get outs,” said Johnson. “Its been a really tough go.” “I think the biggest thing is understanding hes still one of the best in this game,” said Arencibia, whos watched Johnson stumble up close. “This game will knock you down to where, mentally, it will drag you around and its hard enough to play when youre feeling great; when your confidence is down its a lot tougher too. Hes an unbelievable pitcher, works hard, first-class guy. I think its one of those things, I think this game tests you, everyone has struggles in their careers.” Johnson has gone from a pitcher likely to make a high eight figure salary on a multi-year contract, to a guy who may have to accept a one-year qualifying offer, to a man who may find himself on the free agent scrap heap looking for an incentive-laden deal. The Blue Jays, in the business of winning even if they havent been doing enough of it, are wrestling with whats best for the ball club. Do you do right by Johnson and give him the opportunity every fifth day to improve his stock, even if, every fifth day, his stock drops further? Do you take advantage of off days and push Johnson back, giving him more days of work in between appearances and fewer starts the rest of the way? Or do you pull the plug altogether? The answer, at the moment, isnt obvious. Johnson, for his part, says hes looking forward to his next start. Well take him at his word. Typically laid back, Johnson acknowledges he sometimes thinks about joining the infamous highlight reels frequented by the likes of Carlos Zambrano. If all else fails, break something. “I want to really bad,” said Johnson. “Maybe after the last start I might have.” Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
