[b]SEC - 6 teams
Georgia - 1
Florida - 5
LSU - 7
Auburn -10
Tennessee - 18
Ala ...[text shortened]... by Utah. Pretty impressive to me. Oh, by the way, that was a Big 12 school that beat Illinois.[/b]

Strange...how did Tenn escape without being in bold letters?
Originally posted by whodey Having watched some football this year till this point, I will concede that my Buckeyes are not the best football team in college football. In fact, they are not one of the best 5 in college football. I would say, however, that they are a top 10 team. I just don't know where exactly they fall.
Of course, the only wild card is their new QB sensation Prio ...[text shortened]... , will will have to see how Penn State does the rest of the year. Otherwise I agree. Pfft!!
Honestly? Stop being such a bitch. Ohio State is the second best (at worst) team in the nation behind USC - which everybody knows could change after week 3. We basically have the entire national championship team last year + 1 year of experience, that does include the best defense in the nation. In case that's not enough, we have Pryor to come in and add another threat for opposing defenses to deal with.
BTW: Beanie's injury isn't as significant as most people seem to be making it - our other three backs are very talented, particularly Saine, and Mo Wells is a senior who would start on most other teams in the BCS.
Originally posted by myteamtrulystinks I am not sure what you watched. But the Big East and the ACC were not good at all.
(1) The Big east had three bad losses (and that is not counting Lousiville's 27-2 loss to Kentucky). Northwestern the tradition bottom team in the big 10 won by 20 against Syracuse. Pitt a ranked team (also at home) and some peoples Big East surprise lost by 10 to ly wasn't impressive and on a neutral field Clemson (a top 10 teams loses 34-10 to Alabama).
NC State lost 34-0 to a SC team who just got beat by Vandy...
That looks pretty bad for both of those conferences.
Originally posted by shortcircuit Yep, they already have his monogrammed whirlpool being shipped to the campus. He will fit in well with all of the other dinged up RB's at OSU.
Who's dinged up? Are you talking about the one of our four 5 star tailbacks with a minor toe injury?
There's a reason we have so much depth - tailbacks get hurt.

Heaven forbid that the Blackeyes should get into the championship game again and lay yet another egg. No thanks, I get tired of that tune.

I am only being a realist. The Buckeyes have preformed miserably in the last two NCG's. Why? After the first one I thought it was perhaps that they simply did not show up, however, after watching the second I soon realized that the SEC was simply that much better. I would add USC to the list, but that is about all.
Honestly, nothing would make me happier than my Buckeyes beating USC, but they have to prove themselves before I ever place my hopes on them again in that respect. Really the only thing that gives me hope is the addition of Pryor. The current QB they have now and who they had last year is not up to the task. Even though they beat Youngstown state 43-0 last weekend, OSU's QB simply held onto the ball to long last week, he is not a very fast runner, and he was throwing the ball over the middle much to often which probably would have resulted in picks against a very good team like USC. Mark my words, the QB for OSU WILL turn the ball over, probably more than once, and it will probably cost them the game as a result.

Boeckman is ok...plus he has that much more experience this year.
I think OU and tOSU's only chance at a MNC is to have everyone else slip up and let Bob Stoop's team battle it out with Tressel's. One of the two would have to finally win a BCS game.
