For example on Ohio State last year, one might arguably have seven WRs in the NFL off that team.  Campbell, McLaurin, Dixon, Victor, Olave, Hill and Mack.  To say that has nothing to do with some level of the QBs success is just not accurate.  Ohio State looks amazing this year but there is still a long season left, they are the clear favorites to win the Big Ten this year though especially with how improved that D is and how solid that OL has looked, not to mention Fields of course also playing well to start.  

McLaurin, Dixon, Victor, and Campbell were all considered underachievers until Haskins got under center. We couldn't pass the ball to save our lives with JT Barrett at QB. It's safe to say the QB helped the WRs more than they helped the QB.

True but it is also safe to say they had one of the deepest most talented WR cores in college football in terms of pure depth and numbers last year.  And Sure Dixon is just barely on a roster in the NFL, Paris still trying to find his place but Terry McLaurin is a starter basically on Washington and is doing great, thought to be a 3rd or 4th WR and a great special teams guy, is much more than that early in his career.  I expect Victor to do well along with Olave no doubt and Hill should have a shot at the league also especially with his return skills as well. 

 

To me it helps regardless of the QB play, go ask Tyler Huntley on Utah if it matters.  He had a rough game because honestly they have little to no weapons at WR or TE even that are that proven and take away the run game they struggle and Moss got injured in that game.  But USC has a ton of weapons and great WRs and Fink being in as the 3rd string QB did not matter and played great because he had tons of options to throw the ball to, letting them just go make plays and Ohio State had some burners on the roster obviously last year.  But yes having Haskins at QB greatly helped all the receivers compared to freaking JT Barrett no question about that.

Got see him against some decent competition. Wisconsin might provide a challenge? So far the games he's played in are little more than padded scrimmages. 

I really wish Michigan didnt suck as much as Michigan has completely sucked as a college football program for 15+ years. Michigan being a glorified Michigan St. for the past 2 decades has really hindered OSUs chances at the strength of schedule game. Get it together over there Harbaugh so when we beat you, it actually means something.

Michigan has been the Texas or Florida of the BIG10 for far too long but somehow every year the get the benefit of the doubt by voters.

True statement but what is he supposed to do?

Win & play well against Wisconsin. Beat Penn, hopefully Penn remains closer to 10 than 20. Sweep the rest of the scheduled opponents - go undefeated & hopefully make the CFB playoffs. Play well in the playoffs, if they make it. 

We just want to see him under some duress before getting too excited. So far he's done well destroying what's in front of him, but it's simply not enough.

Wisconsin & Penn look by far OSU's strongest opponents. Hopefully things fall their way & they squeak into the playoffs. I'd love to see Justin there. 

Tbf, Clemson's schedule is weak as hell from here on out, but their reputation will keep them in the top spot.

That's pretty fair, the way it looks, he could be in a really good groove by then. Will be interesting to see
