A C grade is average. So out of 14 teams, that would be the 7th and 8th best teams.
If you average out my positional grades (4 As, 2 B-/C+, 5 C/C-) it is probably a B-, which is probably around the 4th or 5th best team. Including coaching get us to 2 or 3.
If this group of players was getting coached by an average coaching staff (say Illinois) I think it would be a bit better than average (B-). Since they are getting coached by Don Brown, I think they’ll be near the top of the conference, but probably not as good as Ohio State.
This is far from scientific, but I think it’s logical.
