I'm considering going up to tailgate. Have a few friends in Baltimore.sleeper;1636722 wrote:Yes. You going?
Bleacher report must have gotten confused with the question.Con_Alma;1636716 wrote:Bleacher Report predicting ESPN's College Game Day to be in Baltimore for the Buckeyes and the Midshipmen match-up. We shall see.
Other games that day include Arlington, Texas (Florida State vs. Oklahoma State); Athens, Georgia (Clemson at Georgia); Atlanta (West Virginia vs. Alabama); Houston (Wisconsin vs. LSU).

Not a chance--my money's on either the Clemson/Georgia or LSU/Wisky game.Con_Alma;1636716 wrote:Bleacher Report predicting ESPN's College Game Day to be in Baltimore for the Buckeyes and the Midshipmen match-up. We shall see.

This would be my guess too.vball10set;1636801 wrote:Not a chance--my money's on either the Clemson/Georgia or LSU/Wisky game.
Both of those two games are intriguing with the fan-base size to support Game Day being there.vball10set;1636801 wrote:Not a chance--my money's on either the Clemson/Georgia or LSU/Wisky game.
Con_Alma thinks Navy has a chance when the reality is what you just posted. It'll be 42 - 0 after the first half and then Urban will put the cheerleaders in for the rest of the game.Classyposter58;1636922 wrote:OSU honestly will probably destroy Navy, why would Gameday do that game? Honestly though OSU's D-Line is going to be so good and explosive it'll destroy that option attack

Game Day wouldn't do that. Did you see who it was making the prediction? Tells you all you need to know.Classyposter58;1636922 wrote:OSU honestly will probably destroy Navy, why would Gameday do that game?

Ironic that the final score is probably going to be Ohio State 63 - Navy 5.Con_Alma;1637244 wrote:Lindy's preseason rankings:
5. Ohio State
63. Navy
Also on both team's schedule is Rutgers who is ranked 74th.
And Ohio State has more 5* talent on its defensive line than Navy has had in its entire history. It will be a STOMP if Urban wants it to be.Classyposter58;1637518 wrote:I doubt the score gets that out of hand. Navy has good athletes, discipline and an offense that runs a ton of time off the clock. 4 touchdowns is dominating
Well Navy sure as shit seemed to sneak up on an unsuspecting Ohio State team in 2009 after having an entire offseason to prepare.TBone14;1639746 wrote:Navy sneaks up on teams in the middle of the season when they only have a week to prepare in between games. With Ohio State having a whole offseason plus the extra focus of a first game of the season, I don't see Navy having a chance.
These offenses typically struggle in bowl games due to extra prep time for the opponent.
Paul Johnson is 3-6 in Bowl Games. Navy, since 2006, is 2-4 in Bowl Games.
I don't have first game of the season stats available offhand.
??? I agree that Ohio State should be a massive favorite in this game but what does Paul Johnson have to do with it? He's starting his seventh year as the head coach at Georgia Tech right now.TBone14;1639746 wrote:Navy sneaks up on teams in the middle of the season when they only have a week to prepare in between games.

Must suck having to play such powerhouses as Army/AF/ND every year for your OOC schedule.Con_Alma;1639930 wrote:The opener will be the only "flexible" game/date in the future for the Mids. With the new conference schedule and the Air Force/Notre Dame/Army games being untouchable, the opportunities to play other programs of interest are reduced to just one week....the opener. This is a drastic change from being able to completely control their schedule as an independent.
