Majority of Ohio voters believe Buckeyes would beat Cleveland Browns
How bad is it for the Cleveland Browns?
The NFL’s lowliest franchise might’ve sunk to a new low.
In a recent public policy poll, Ohio voters were asked who they think would win in a game between the Browns and Ohio State. A whopping 57 percent took the Buckeyes while 23 percent went with the Browns and 20 percent were undecided.
Really:
“This may be the greatest measure of what tough times these are for the Cleveland Browns: voters in the state think that in a head to head match up Ohio State would beat the Browns on the gridiron 57/23. It’s patently ridiculous to think a college team could beat even so hapless an NFL team as the Browns, but that’s where we are.”
Is it realistic to think that a college team could beat an NFL team? Perhaps not, but this speaks more to the never-ending frustration felt in Cleveland more than anything.
Ohio State has a chance to break the 2004 Miami team’s record of six first-round draft picks. Still, even with how loaded the Buckeyes are with first-round talent, beating an actual NFL team made up of veterans might be a little bit of a stretch.
You can bet the Browns would never allow that idea to surface in any way.
