Yes, Jim Tressel can win the NC without John Cooper's talent, here's a couple of reasons why: He already has - John Cooper didn't recruit any players for Youngstown State. :wink: Ok, Ok... D1 argument: What variables go into winning an NC other than player talent? Coaching, attitude, pre-game meal...whatever they are, let's call the sum of them x and player talent pt. It's proven that John Cooper had the pt to win the NC (but not the x)... JCpt + JCx < NC Win ...it's also proven that JT has the x because he won with JC's pt. So... JCpt + JTx = NC Win (v Miami) So the question becomes whether JTpt >= JCpt. Looking at the JT recruited OSU pt in the NFL, I think that it is. So, Yes, Jim Tressel can win a NC without John Cooper's talent. But this one? Against the dreaded and fast SEC...against whom OSU posts the 0-8 bowl record? Well, that's outside the scope of this thread. Did "the defensive end for Florida" say whether Arkansas and Tennessee were among those 4-5 teams?
No he did not but since we are better than you pick one.:lol: Just kiddin, I hope its a good game for both teams, as crazy as this season has been, I think we all need a good game.
