1. Ohio State Buckeyes-Quarterback

This is by far the oddest quarterback situation maybe ever in college football history. Ohio State has a quarterback controversy between three guys who have all proven to be great, and their greatness is hard to choose from.

Do you go with the guy who won the national championship, the guy who leda Heisman-caliber season as a freshman before getting injured, or the guy with a two-year Heisman caliber body of work?

It’s pretty hard when you think about it, but Urban Meyer has to make a decision between Cardale Jones, Braxton Miller, and J.T. Barrett. And all have proven to be great at different times.

So do you go with who looks best in practice, who looks best in the games, or simply based on seniority?

This will be an interesting Spring, and Miller may not even be in the race given that he still has to get healthy. Somebody is obviously going to be transferring before this is all over, but you have to admire all three for having the confidence to win the job.

These are all perfect quarterbacks for Meyer’s system, and as he said last year, this situation is a good problem to have.

Now let’s find out this spring who deserves the job.
