• ESPN ($$$) looked at 19 teams who could win the National Title examining the hypotheticals where they compete. OSU was surveyed and the super unusual scenario in Stillwater was laid out.

…(T)heir defense has surged (18th in defensive SP+ last year), and if the offense reestablishes elite credentials, they have top-10 potential.

(Spencer) Sanders is the key.

OSU in 2019 and 2020 when Sanders’ QBR was over 70: 5-1, 45 points per game. When it was under 50: 2-4, 24 PPG.
