Ohio State has named Kansas State transfer Will Howard as their starting quarterback for the upcoming season. This decision follows Kyle McCord's transfer to Syracuse after the Buckeyes’ latest loss to Michigan. Howard steps into a challenging role, aiming to improve the team’s offensive output, which has averaged less than 27 points per game against the Wolverines in recent matchups. With a solid track record from Kansas State, where he threw for nearly 5,800 yards, the question remains if he can break the Ohio State losing streak to Michigan.

Bowl eligibility is a tall order for these desperate college football teams. While bowl games continue to see diminished value in the College Football Playoff era, achieving postseason eligibility remains a key measure of success for the vast majority of college football programs. Simply reaching the required six wins would be a disappointment for the proudest programs, but the average Power Four team and essentially every Group of Five squad seeks to at least hit the .500 mark in the regular season and earn a spot in a bowl game.
