Okay, look the rest of the country looks at The Ohio State University and they look at their recent record in bowls and they say they can’t compete against the elite of the SEC. They have beaten some decent teams. Ohio State has a huge budget. Every year they are ranked really highly and every year we hear this is the year. I have some friends in Columbus who are rabid fans. When you hit them with this they will resort to, ‘the talent there is sooooo great’. ‘This freshman we have is going to put us over the top’, etc... Ohio State and schools like it are the reason that at the end of the year every year we have the Bull Crap Series. They are afraid to compete with the little guys in a playoff because they have so much to lose and little to gain. 0-7 Versus the SEC I think in Bowls correct. Win the big one more often. In essence why can’t you turn it on late or even early against teams in the real games?
As for what you're arguing. I did not think they were the team to play in the national title game last year. But it was hard to argue against them the way the late season upsets fell.
I would not have ranked them preseason #1 the year before. That was the sports media and the coaches. They go undefeated off of that and presto, its a BCS Championship Game bound since they held their ranking.
As I stated in another post, I don't pick them to win this weekend. I feel that they should be 12 point underdogs. I would have ranked them #6 or #7 preseason this year.
Now that I have spoken on the topic that you were arguing, do we have anything to argue about?
