Ohio State has been penalized in the polls (AP, Coaches and Harris) for the loss @ Wiscy moreso than any team has taken for a loss to date. Add to that the 49-0 drubbing of Purdue(4-2)gained the Bucks a whooping 163 total voter points from the previous week...Compared to other performances last week and the voter impact:
Utah +336 vs Colorado St(2-5)
South Carolina +465 @ Vandy(2-4)
Arizona +371 vs Washington(3-3)
Alabama +247 @Tenn(2-4)

tOSU is fighting an uphill battle with no love from voters, no love from the computers and the best possible scenario (winning out) still might not be good enough to impress either to get a BCS bowl. I know it's early.

I've looked at the totals of all three polls over the past three weeks and the results are puzzling.
Wisc gains 1512 pts for tOSU win

the following week...

Mizzou gains 1854 for Oklahoma win(342)

conversely

OSU gets dinged 2109 pts for the loss

Oklahoma 1742(367)

Is it OSU or is it a particularly weak schedule? Marshal, EMU, Indiana, Ohio U so far, throw in a Miami that doesn't appear to be the team others thought, Purdue riddled by injuries and unable to beat Notre Dame, a Wisconsin that got kicked around by Sparty and damn near lost at home to AzSU, but put up some "can't ignore" numbers against the Bucks -- on both sides of the ball.

Some of that can't be laid at the Buckeye's front door -- they didn't let Notre Dame - a team Navy managed to put away by 2 TDs and that Stanford annihilated -- beat Purdue, or carry Michigan down to the last play, or carry MSU to overtime. When they scheduled Miami it looked to all the world like a possible Game of the Year -- and could well be next year. EMU was a grab to fill the 13 game possibility I seem to recall.

Is it OSU or is it a media perspective that the Big 10 is not as strong as the SEC or Big 12? -- and as I heard some media dunderhead claim, "The Pac 10 is the strongest conference this year." Penn State and Michigan going south at the same time has taken valuable strength from the conference and the OSU schedule. Throw in Iowa's poor showing on the road to Az, Add the SEC sitting there with three undefeated teams (until Saturday) and one one loss defending champion, Oregon going off like a buzz saw, love for the little guys -- Boyzee State and TCU -- add the focus on Terrell and the expectation that he would provide some VY performances every week -- something VY didn't do either -- and you have all you need to hold the love back from the conference in general and the Buckeyes in particular.

Agreed. Lots of love being spread around and I personally believe the only chance of gaining real respect in the BCS is for Ohio State to beat an Iowa team that knocks off Sparty.

The Wiscy game not only cost tOSU in voter perception but took the "control your own destiny" out of their hands too.

I answered that last week.

Don't even bother getting your hopes up - it's clear the fucktards that run and decide in this stupid system have Ohio State fatigue.

They didn't run the comps. Which obviously hurt us bad and helped LSU. I expected Neb to get a push from a win against an undefeated team.

I don't get it. I just don't. But regardless, we will move up ATLEAST two spots next week. One of TCU and Utah will go, and one of Bama and LSU will go. One of Nebraska and Oklahoma will be knocked out (maybe both) by the time the b12 Champ. comes around. Wisconsin may lose at Michigan or against Northwesterm but I don't see either of those happening.
