The fact is that other than the Buckeyes, the Big 10 is pretty balanced, meaning that say the worst team, like Minnesota or NW or Purdue, could compete with any team except OSU, if they are at home. And top to bottom, is the Big 10 that much worse than the SEC? No. And the "blowout" vs Florida last year, what relevance does that have this year? If anything, OSU is using it as motivation this year. In the title game, Troy Smith was the Heisman winner, and the Heisman winner usually has a bad bowl game, for obvious reasons. He had the worst game possible. OSU had the better team, they played like shit. And as for the crowd, that isn't really gonna win games, it may help but you still have to play the game. It may factor in a close game but this OSU juggernaut is'nt gonna let a crowd stop them.
I don't post often, but this was good for a pretty good laugh. Just because they walk all over the Big Ten in a year when the second best team in the league was beaten by a 1-AA school does not come remotely close to being able to put a thread out there saying they are among the greatest teams of all time. Even as I say that, I wouldn't rule them out of winning a national championship this year because their easy schedule has allowed them to come through relatively injury free while the other major contenders seem to all have lost major contributors. To sum up, win the Mythical National Championship? maybe, but far from a sure thing. Best team of all time? Not even close since they couldn't defeat the second string of a lot of the good teams from the past decade (to say nothing of the era of higher scholarship limits).
