I think 2 will leave. It's an unusual and potentially bad problem for Meyer. Of course no one could deserve it more.

I've seen Braxton to FSU, LSU Oregon & Duke, so far.
Urban says he thinks he's staying, I don't think so, once Braxton saw how good the others are ...
If Braxton wanted to look good for the Pro's for the next year, he might consider going with Herman to Houston, he'll be the stud QB and already know the play book and can be the star of the league.
This is just STUPID reporting ... actually, let me rephrase this, its not reporting, its pulling sh&% out of your A$$ to make a headline.
Oh, so Saban has never scored late in a game .... ya right ...
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
All they had to do is stop them and it wouldn't have been an issue.
As usual, you see every thing as a problem for a Meyer team.
There is No problem here. it will shake it self out ... it all depends on what Braxtons decides to do, thats the way it was from day one.
Cardale is not going Pro, Barrett is the best of the 3 QB's and cannot go anywhere without sitting out a year and Braxton is the key to it all.
IF Braxton comes back strictly as the Starting QB, not at another position he will start and it will be a toss up as to who is 2nd.
It was really nice to have Braxton and Kenny Guiton as the back up that played very well in his time at OSU., now they have at least that much at QB.
If Jones doesn't turn pro it can only go downhill for him. I'm not sure he can play better or anyone for that matter like he did the last three games. Play like he did and then come back as a backup??
Isn't he the same player that said he was at only at school to play football anyway?
This will be interesting to say the least.

Yes he is the same player that said that ... then later realized what he said ....
Your right, he'll never be better than right now in the eyes of the media.
The NFL though I think is much different, I doubt that many teams would take a flyer on him because of his lack of experience.
Then again,
Was it Sanchez for USC that was a back up his entire career and he was drafted.
Or Oregon for that matter, they have a pattern of running up the score. And we can all ask Pitt what happens when you let off in the 4th quarter. It's the seniors final game, as well as many of the juniors. Let them play.
Maybe if Oregon hadn't started calling time out in the hopes to win, Ohio St. would have let the clock run out. Or perhaps someone just needs to have some cheese with his whine.
Reminds me of line that was said down here by a former Dolphin coach over and over again to anyone that would be willing to listen: "Look, I am not gonna coach at Alabama..."
I did not understand the reason for the push for touchdown so late with the game is in hand. There is NOTHING to prove, there is nothing to gain...the game is already in hand. Can't say "we play to win" when you have won the game already. Two things can happen, in the push for the score, someone could get injured on either side...and you look like a douche. Luckily, only one happened.
Alabama vs S Miss, 2014 - AL leading 45-12, scores another touchdown with 16-seconds remaining.
Alabama vs T A&M, 2014 - AL leading 45-0 at half, scores (2) more touchdowns (albeit with lots of time).
Alabama vs Western Carolina, 2014 - AL leading 38-14 at half, scores (2) more touchdowns.
Alabama vs Missouri, 2014 - AL leading 21-13 at start of 4th quarter, scores not once, not twice, but three times in the 4th quarter. Yes, 21-13 isn't enough of a lead to back off, so another touchdown was more than warranted.

In Bamas defense, you cant help but score on USM. Hell, they had the Alumni string in at that point.
Blame the committee which has brought Style Points back into relevancy. But putting an extra stamp onto the victory, Ohio St. ensures themselves of a #1 ranking. If it wasn't for style points, teams wouldn't feel the need to run up scores.
I agree with your latter point, if Ohio St takes their foot off the gas and only beats Wisconsin 35-14 they probably don't make the playoffs.
But what does it matter in the championship game, you only have to be 1 point better. I don't care that they did it but once you're in the playoffs style points no longer matter.
Helps settle any question of who should be # 1 in the polls the following year.
That said, I don't doubt at all that to some degree, it was Meyer making a point: OSU wasn't supposed to beat Wisconsin, they should have been # 5 in the final rankings, Alabama was supposed to beat them, they had no chance against Oregon...
Sorta like when Oklahoma and Utah ran up the score against Alabama in The Tide's last 2 Sugar Bowls
*note* Alabama really needs to start avoiding Sugar Bowls
