    And dipshit, Wash had just beaten Boise st at home, soundly, does that look like a good win for Wash now? So when  OSU whipped Wash they were 2-0 and a hot team, maybe they had a lot of injuries and are struggling now, but at the time it was a big win for the OSU with a lot of jackasses predicting a Wash upset, get it?

    Buckeyes dont get much love here............but some of our fans do make it hard...............theres nothing much to say really lets just see how it all pans out
     
    Im glad to see them doing so well in what was really not expected to be a great season.......im not worried about Illi......but Michigan is gonna be tough!!! Troy has been THE MAN the last few years and was the X FACTOR in Michigan games.I think OSU having more a pocket passer may hurt us in the BIG HOUSE,although Todd showed he can use his legs every so often this weekend
     
    Big ten is down for sure but OSU doing what they need to do........two more GO BUCKS

    OSU is legit, but it is unlikely they would be undefeated in the SEC. However, I haven't been that impressed with LSU. They are only 4-5 vs the spread. They've been squeaking out a lot of wins when they should be blowing teams out. I think Oregon is the best team in the nation. They are 8-1 vs the spread and they've just been pounding people. And their league is probably a slight second to the SEC. OSU is deserving because they are undefeated, but Oregon is more deserving than LSU because they have been winning by bigger margins. Their offense is unstoppable.

    it's all apples to oranges.  if you wanna compare something that is actually apples to apples take a look at the ultimate equalizer that takes into account everything.  the line.  this handicaps everything taken into account for the "weak" or the "tough" schedules of these teams and makes it even.  between lsu and osu, one of these teams are 0-6 ats in the last 6 games, and one of these teams are 7-1 in the last 8.  on the year 3-6 and 7-2 against the number.  which one would you say is the overrated team here?  must have been their grueling out of conference games of mtsu, tulane and latech that have them tripping up against perennial powerhouse kentucky.

    Osu will be 6-7 point Faves at Mich. OSU beat Mich last year so according to SEC fans then it would be impossible for Mich to win this year.

    Yes the Champ. game last year was a debacle, but besides the kickoff return everything that could go wrong did for OSU....Still pissed that the Big 10/11 ends the regular season so early.....Still the Big Ten was 2-1 last year in Bowl games and for all of you Big Ten bashers out there check out who has the best record the last 5 years whenever BigTen/Sec played(regularand bowl season) Guess what the Big ten has the winning record.....Yes the Sec is good but they're not as dominate as they're made out to be....
     
    Actually this OSU team kind of reminds me of the Tenn. team that won the Nat. title the year AFTER P.Manning and others left. Less attractive names, but a more solid team. Hope they're a big underdog in the Nat Title game and I can cash in just like against Miami a few years back.

    Is this really up for debate right now.  I mean Ohio State basically benefits from pretty much the same bullshit as Notre Dame.  There are so many Ohio State fans, for some reason, and because of their teams past (a long long time ago) they are still getting way too much respect from the national media and from those who vote in the polls.  They play a terrible schedule which is not comparable at all with the SEC.  I don't know how anyone with any sort brain in their head could tell you that OSU could go into the SEC and compete much less win games at places like Florida, Auburn, Alabama, LSU, Georgia and Tennessee.  These are very tough teams with good defenses, great coaches (most would even be considered better Tressel) and atmospheres that are unlike any Ohio State has ever seen (on the road of course w/ maybe 1 or 2 exceptions, more like just one with App St winning in Ann Arbor this year).   When your road games consist of games  at Washington, Purdue, Minnesota and Penn State you cant really make an argument of how any of those could hold a candle to any SEC institution.  Those are crap teams with stadiums that are not even intimidating to anyone (not hating Penn State of Michigan)  I would understand why Vandy, Ole Miss and Miss St would be tougher then Washington, Minnesota and Purdue for obvious reasons.  Basically it comes down to this, we have all seen what happens when the Big Ten leaves their comfort zone of playing and dicking around with each other and plays real teams teams with speed and athletes, such as Oregon, Florida and dare I even say App St.  Insight Im not hating and I do respect your opinion but it is about time for you to let go of big foots hand, hop off that unicorn and join us all in reality, Ohio State is good but will never be great until they strengthen their schedule, and join the modern era (era of speed and athleticism) of college football.  They are making progress and recruiting better but I don't think they are deserving of their ranking this year, I personally could see them loosing to at least five teams ranked below them in the Top 10.

    LSU ranked teams played 6  "4 of them back to back"

    Oregon ranked teams played 3

    OSU ranked teams played 4

    Yet you people still think the SEC is overated? Oregon or OSU would get raped in the SEC.

    I can't really believe all of the OSU bashing becasue they lost one game and they were embarrassed. OSU sends players to the NFL every year in the first round. Not only do they send players to the NFL, THEY PLAY, MOST OF THEM START. Look around the NFL and you could field a whole team of OSU players and make a team. Last year OSU lost Pittman, Ginn, Gonzo, Smith and Pittcock to the draft. Look at the team now, Laurnitius, Gholston and Jenkins could probably get drafted in rd1 of the NFL draft.
     
    OSU is a top program who recruits top athletes every year. Teams like USF, Kansas are flukes. OSU is for real regardless of our weak schedule THIS YEAR.
     
    Everyone bangs on our schedule, LSU plays Midd Tenn St., Tulane and Fla. Atlantic, i'll take Akron or Kent ST. against any of those teams.

    Dude, come on, you just typed a paragraph taking up for the teams that OSU has beaten.  You'll know when OSU beats a good opponent, because all you will have to say is the team they beat, and the rest is self expanitory. 

    Fact is, you beat an over rated #25 Penn St team (come on, say it... "Penn St is over rated and is not a quality win". Now, doesn't that feel better) and you beat a wounded Wisconsin team, but we'll call it a quality win for your arguements sake.

    Bottom line, OSU is undefeated with a schedule that posed very little threat to them going undefeated or with maybe a loss to Michigan, so they are taking care of business with what they have.  They cannot change the schedule when they find out that Minnesota is gonna suck, or that Wisconsin is without some of their horses.  They're doing what they have to do to be where they are, so more power to them, but don't think for a second that they can lose a game and still make it to the NC game.  If they do lose, they will probably be back where they belong IMO, as the 6th or 7th best team in the nation...

    Shakeitup, you are correct LSU did play somewhat of a  weak out of conference schedule.  Looking past Tulane which is basically an in state rivalry for them, you failed to mention that LSU  played Virginia Tech while OSU was busy playing that Pac 10 juggernaut Washington. Please next time you are gonna mention out of conference games just remember LSU schedules those cupcakes because there are none already scheduled during the conference schedule.  LSU plays those games because the rest of their schedule is Auburn, Florida, Alabama, the rest of the SEC, and most often the best team in the SEC East when the Championship rolls around while Ohio State is busy playing Minnesota, Purdue, Indiana and no conference championship.  Ohio State would struggle to finish .500 in the SEC.

    of course if OSU loses they are out of the NC. Any team that loses the last month is out because that is what voters remember. Now if OSU lost the first game to a good team, then smoked everybody the rest of the year, then they would be in over other 1 loss teams, it is the perception. Is OSU better than LSU, of course, but LSU gets in over them if they both have 1 loss because of the timing of the losses. In 1998 OSU was the best team in the country and they didn't play in the BCS game because they were upset late in the year by Mich st and FSU passed over them for the BCS NC berth, with a weak schedule in the weak ACC.

    All I know is that Ohio State would have no shot of running the table with Oregon's schedule.
     
    Houston and Fresno were UO's "easy" games and each one is contention for a conference title and will be going bowling.  The 3rd non-conference game was Michigan in the Big House.  And unless tOSU rolls them by multiple TDs (like 2-3) then they really don't have an argument.
     
    Oregon will put up points on anyone's defense, LSU and Ohio State included.
