Quarterback transfer thread.

Obviously Braxton Miller, J.T. Barrett, and Cardale Jones are not all going to stay at OSU.

Just another indication of the obscenely good position Ohio State is in right now.

I thought word was Miller was already transferring. The big question is what happens with the other two. I think OSU will be fine though.

You know I've said many times that, over time, Ohio State is near the top in talent level. I decided to look at selected schools' numbers of NFL draft picks over the past 20 NFL drafts (1995 - 2014). Check out the numbers of draft picks by school:

Ohio St. 118
Florida State 118
USC 109
Miami 108
Georgia 105
Florida 104
Alabama 90
Notre Dame 87
Oklahoma 85
Texas 69

Now I tried to just think of schools that are high talent level and didn't do every school. But I'm pretty sure I didn't leave out anybody who is likely to have produced more draft picks than USC or Miami did. I couldn't do LSU because for some reason the LSU draft record at NFL.com is truncated. But I'm confident LSU didn't approach Ohio State because LSU had a down period during the 1990s.

Anyway, as you can see, this is a school that has been able to obtain top players in the past even if it couldn't parlay that into national championships. Now, after what they just did, I expect they're going to be able to do even better in that regard. And once they get the players they've got a coach who can get maximum benefit out of their talent.

The rest of FBS college football had better get used to seeing Ohio State as a huge factor for at least the near term future.
