COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Forget the College Football Playoff. A majority of respondents to a recent poll in the Buckeye State believe?Ohio State?could jump a level and beat an NFL team.According to the results released this week by Public Policy Polling, 62 percent of those polled said the No. 2 Buckeyes would beat the struggling?Cleveland Browns, while only?23 percent picked the professionals in a hypothetical meeting.Ohio State coach Urban Meyers team has certainly looked like an NFL-caliber outfit over the past few seasons. It produced five first-round selections in this years draft and 13 rookies who are playing in the NFL this season.Ohio State appears to have another bumper crop of future pros on hand this season. The Buckeyes have steamrolled to a 4-0 start, and they are heavily favored against Indiana on Saturday.Meanwhile, the Browns are mired at the bottom of the NFL and again struggling to generate any sort of positive momentum.Either way, the people made it clear which team they would back. Only 7 percent of those polled have a negative opinion of Meyer, unofficially making him the second-most popular person in the state behind only Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James.Hydro Flask Oslo . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. Hydro Flask Billig . Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked. http://www.norgehydroflask.com/ .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche. Hydro Flaske . Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early. Hydro Flask Barn . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville.NASSAU, Bahamas -- It was never going to be easy, even though Tiger Woods seemed to make it look that way at times Saturday at the Hero World Challenge, where a hot start was met with a cold dose of reality as his third round unfolded.Woods double-bogeyed the 18th hole for the second time in three days to finish with a 2-under-par 70. He birdied the first three holes and got to 5 under for his round through 11 holes, but some wayward drives and poor putting cost him after that, dropping him 11 strokes behind tournament leader Hideki Matsuyama and into 10th place in the 18-man field at 8-under overall.?Ive got off to some really good starts the first three days, and generally, when I come back from layoffs, thats the most concerning part of the game is getting off to halfway decent starts, Woods said. But Ive been into the round early and Ive been able to build a significant amount of positive shots and go under par early, and unfortunately, I havent been able to keep it going until except for yesterday. I didnt hit the ball that poorly today but hit bad putts in the middle part of the round.Woods was annoyed with himself for finishing as he did, perhaps a good sign in the big picture. Who would have thought hed perform anywhere near this well after being away from the game for 15 months?He has two scores under par, including a bogey-free 65 on Friday, and has made some understandable mistakes.Rickie Fowler might have been among the few who saw this coming. Fowler, who shot 68 while paired with Woods on Saturday, had played with him on occasion near their South Florida homes as the 14-time major champion got closer to a comeback.Im not surprised, Fowler said. Its been impressive to see where he was prior to the Ryder Cup playing and practice-wise to now. The quality of golf kept improving. Its been impressive to see what hes put together this week -- that progress he has made, the speed that he has gained the last couple of months.Its fun to see. I knew he wasnt going to come out before he was ready, and I think hes shown that he waited the right amount of time.On Saturday, Woods surged up the leaderboard with birdies on his first three holes and four of the first five overall -- hee holed a bunker shot at the par-3 fifth -- and he rebounded from a bogey at the sixth hole with another birdie at the seventh.dddddddddddd But Woods was unable to take advantage of the par-5 ninth, and after a birdie at the 11th, he had a stretch of poor driving and putting that led to two bogeys. A long birdie putt at the 17th hole put him at 4 under, then he missed another fairway at the 18th into a waste area that led to a second shot in the water, leading to a double-bogey.Im definitely not as fresh as I would like to be, Woods said. Rickie [Fowler] and I were talking about that. No matter how much you work out, its very different than being in shape. Thats one of the reasons [caddie] Joey [LaCava] came down [to Florida]. He came down for two training camps, we talked, we tried to simulate tournament golf, but nothings quite the same as playing and waiting and grinding and the wind and getting the numbers right and camera phones going off and people moving, sounds. These are all different things that you cant simulate at home.Woods had not played a tournament round since August 2015. He had endured two back procedures since then, wondered about his future in golf, didnt take a swing for at least four months and as recently as October had enough doubts about his game to withdraw from the Safeway Open.He has made 19 birdies here and has held his own against a field that includes 11 of the top 20 golfers in the world.And while Matsuyama -- who has won three of his past four worldwide starts, including the WGC-HSBC Champions -- is out of reach, a top-five finish for Woods is in range. Woods is playing for the first time since the 2015 Wyndham Championship. He has fallen to 898th in the world rankings but is assured of moving up at least 150 spots due to playing against this strong field.Id like to get another solid round in, Woods said. I know the weathers supposed to change and [the wind is] supposed to pump, so hopefully I can lay another really solid round. This golf course is very unforgiving. If you get it going with the wind, you can go sideways. ' ' '
