OSU COULD have crushed Liberty. That is past tense. All the players that made OSU a legit Top 20 team are leaving. They will not be replaced with 4 star and high 3 star athletes. They will be replaced with whatever the Beavers can get, which is low 3 and 2 stars, if not walk-ons, just like in the 1980s. OSU will only be able to recruit to a G5 level and until the dust settles and they have a conference and media contract, it will be a low level G5 program like New Mexico State. At that point, they will NOT be able to compete with Liberty, which went undefeated in a G5 conference this year. And I am fine with all of that. G5 teams have fun games with each other and at their G5 bowls. But no way, Utah State or Air Force can go toe to toe with Top 20 teams. If you don't get your hopes too high you can find pleasure in lower level football, as long as games are between equals. Rather than glibly say "there are many cards to be played yet", why don't you tell me what they are and how OSU can again recruit well enough to compete with the Top 20? I am very curious. But if you just flip that off because it sounds nice, then forget it. I live in the real world.
