Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer announced the post-spring practice two-deep depth chart, but also gave his input on topics concerning the Buckeyes and the current state of the Bowl Championship Series.

Depth Chart
OSU players were well aware that their playing time would be determined by what they accomplished during spring ball and the results of the players’ work was made public Wednesday.
“We made a big emphasis with our players aboutspring practice is not just fundamentals, development and skill development, it’s about earning a spot on the team,” Meyer said. “Our focus in August is not developing a depth chart, it is trying to go win a game.”
Meyer spoke about both sides of the ball, particularly the offensive line.
Junior center Corey Linsley was the first topic of interest. Linsley, a redshirt junior, served as back-up to former OSU center Michael Brewster in his sophomore campaign.
Meyer said Linsley has been made into one of the most important players on the offense behind sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller.
“(Linsley) was a journeyman player,” Meyer said. “He was a pleasant surprise. He has the potential to be a very good player. His commitment to excellence right now is real strong.”
The right tackle position features a dogfight between senior Reid Fragel and freshman Taylor Decker.
Meyer said without question that the offensive line was made functional with the addition of Decker.
“I thought our (offensive line) coach (Ed) Warinner did a very good job with them in what some would say a somewhat complicated offense,” Meyer said. “Our offensive line was the most improved position on the team.”

Recruiting
Meyer did not give specific details regarding an incident involving Charles Eric Waugh, a Kentucky sex offender who came in contact with student-athletes and recruits in-person and on social media. Some believe that Waugh’s contact with players and recruits might have resulted in the de-commitment of four-star linebacker recruit and Wyomissing, Pa., native, Alex Anzalone.
“The first thing you think about is the safety of your players,” Meyer said. “There are a million different stories in recruiting, but the ones you have no control over are the most bothersome.”

Bowl Championship Series
The BCS could be on the brink of adapting to a four-team playoff system to determine a national champion, with possible changes to come no earlier than 2014.
As of Wednesday, Big Ten commissioner and Big Ten athletic directors are on board with the four-team playoff system.
Meyer said the four-team playoff will produce a tremendous workload for the coaching staff and players of the teams selected.
“I can’t even fathom that you are trying to get ready for a national championship in two days,” Meyer said. “‘Cause that’s what you got.”
Should the change come to fruition and the Buckeyes be in the running for a future NCAA Division I playoff, Meyer explained how a team might ready itself for the task.
“You will probably prepare for three teams,” Meyer said. “We’re going to prepare in case we have to play any of those three times, and that will be exhausting.”
Meyer said he believes the ideal setup is what has happened over the last decade of football, but understands why the change is being made.
“I was not one of the screamers and yellers saying it was broken before,” Meyer said.
