COLUMBUS — Yes, we started with special teams.

We will examine and grade 10 Ohio State position groups between now and the Buckeyes’ first playoff game, with a discussion on a YouTube show/podcast and a written piece here.

The major point is to arrive at a numeral rating between 1 and 100 for each position as we average the ratings from me, Bill and a subscriber vote.

We’ll include the YouTube/podcast discussion in each story, but we will also include an extra topic here that isn’t discussed. We will focus on a Pivot Point — someone current or in the future who defines and affects the position group the most.

Onto special teams.
