Oh and dimwit, no it would not be funny if OU lost. They need to destroy Tech at home, just to makes Texas look that much more pathetic for barely beating them. Then again a 65-13 loss already makes Texas look pathetic. BOOMER SOONER!!

ROFLMAO!!

Of course Texas fans will just claim another "recruiting national title" come February again!

Right. Like the Simms, Applewhite, Williams classes.

-- Ohio State has only beaten two ranked teams --

Which is two more than USC has beaten.

Err... one more. And the ranked team USC beat (Washington State) is ranked higher than any team Ohio State has beaten.

I've watched almost as many Pac-10 as Big-10 games over the past 15-20 years. Not only do I disagree, but I find the suggestion unfathomable. Quite frankly the Pac-10 is down this year and they aren't playing very good football right now across the board.

The top of the Pac-10 is definitely stronger than the top of the Big 10 this year. Ohio State or Michigan might have a chance against USC or WSU at a neutral site, but it wouldn't be a good one. The bottom of the Pac 10 is definitely stronger than the bottom of the Big 10; Illinois and Indiana would get soundly thrashed by Arizona or Washington. The middle of the Big 10 is definitely better than the middle of the Pac 10.

When does it stop being luck? Tressell won 4 national titles at Youngstown State the exact same way. They're close because he wants them to be close.

That's nonsense. They're close because he's had a great defense and a mediocre offense (and given the talent he's had at WR, RB, and along the line, the lack of offensive production should be a major concern in Columbus). No one likes close games except fans; it's too easy for the ball bouncing the wrong way to decide a close game.

Florida State squeeks by NC State in overtime & it's a "great win". Ohio State does the same & it's "luck".

No, it's luck for FSU, too. The "Big East rule" in the BCS is getting very close to applying to the ACC, where the champion is going to be outside of the top 10 again, even in the unlikely event that FSU beats Florida.

CRIMSON TIDE fan here. We're doing terrible this year. It's like worshipping Loviatar or something...the suffering just keeps going...

 

[Brown Jenkin]

Argue all you want... My team is the WORST in the NCAA this year!!

Usually Vandy gets that distinction..

Roy Horn SUCKS...

Have you seen Illinois play this year? Granted they have one win against thier 10 blowout losses, but it was against a 1AA team. Illinois got trounced by Indiana. Enough said.

Least they avoided OSU this year. Would have been nice to have them on the schedule instead if the Badgers

Agreed.

And on OSU having a tougher schedule than USC...well, OSU doesn't have any quality win deductions in the latest BCS, whereas USC does. But they do have a tougher SOS. But like I said, I don't put quite as much stock in that as most do. But, as predicted, OSU jumped to #2 in the poll.

And hey, Boise State is 23 in the BCS! Even with a SOS of 113. Go Broncos!

Yep, OSU #2 in the BCS.

I just want to see OSU beat Michigan for the third year in a row, take the Big Ten title outright and let everything else shake itself out.

GO BUCKS!!!

Welcome to the boards Mimdalf.

I wouldn't mind an OSU-OU National Championship. Give the defending National Champions a chance to defend thier title. Of course only time will tell who all ends up in the mix.

I also think that if the Horned Frogs can go undeated that they deserve a place in the top 6 and a berth in the bowl. If they can beat Ole Miss on Thursday I think that will be thier best chance to climb back up. Of course with either Michigan or Ohio State losing this weekend that will give them some help.

But whoever we play, I know we will win!

BOOMER SOONER!
