If you take a look at the quarterbacks in the Big Ten right now, it actually looks like Ohio State has three of the conference’s top ten – if not the top five. Braxton Miller, J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones could all start for any Division I program in the country and make their college football betting fans very happy. Having this many great quarterbacks at one school is almost impossible to imagine, especially considering how frequently quarterbacks will transfer if it looks like they aren’t going to get the playing time they want. Consider how Tre Roberson left Indiana and Aaron Bailey left Illinois for FCS schools when it looked like they would have to be sharing playing time with someone else.

At Ohio State, rumors keep swirling about Braxton Miller transferring, but so far he remains one of the three-headed monster. Cardale Jones was thought to be considering going pro after his immense three-game run that led to a national title, but he was probably wise to stay in college, thinking that he didn’t have enough experience to merit an NFL bid after just three starts. It’s true that those starts were in the Big Ten title game, the national semifinal in the Sugar Bowl and the national title game against Oregon, but he still wants some more seasoning.One possible reason why Miller is still at Ohio State is that his shoulder is still not cleared for full play. J.T. Barrett has already used one red shirt year which means he would have to use a season of eligibility if he wanted to transfer. Miller and Jones grew up in Ohio and love the idea of playing for their home state’s team. The fact that Ohio State just won a national title and might be even better this year has to be another draw.
