Herby actually put us in his top 4.

So many teams lost at the bottom of the polls that voters don't even know who to throw in next. Thus Duke snuck by as a 2loss team.

LSU, ND, Clemson, Minnesota, Aggy, Duke all lost.
Both AP and Coaches have ND and Clemson at 26 & 27. Coaches have LSU at 28.

Clearly they're all waiting for the spin doctors to tell them who to vote for.

Both Arky and the Aggies still getting top 25 votes. Because, you know, SEC.

And Mark May gave JT Barrett a Hemet sticker on Gameday....ESPN is trolling hard lately.
Just curious, I know the sentiment that ESPN is generally pro SEC and downplaying B1G, but what could they do that is acceptable to folks? If they say something negative or inaccurate they are rightly hammered, but if they say some positive things they are trolling, I'm not sure what it's acceptable for them to do in your eyes.

TCU still has no big wins. Right now, they've played one ranked team that hung 61 points on them. That should put them behind both Baylor--the ranked team that put 61 on them--and Ohio State. I don't get the love for them. There big early season wins have all been exposed as mediocre opponents.
I think TCU is getting credit for all of the 'ranked' teams they beat. Given only one of them is still ranked, and none may be ranked at the end of the year.

I would venture to say that if we didn't turn the ball over and didn't get hosed on the pick-six PI call Saturday, i.e., blew out Minny like we really could've, then we possibly would've jumped TCU and Baylor. No panic at all though...just take care of business against Indiana and Michigan.

It's all in jest, sort of. I don't buy into conspiracy's against the B1G as much as I feel that ESPN is going to rep their brand of football harder than any other. I just find it comical that Mark May, a very well known Buckeye hater is giving OSU players some love on the same day Herby shocked Buckeye nation by giving us love in his top 4.

Beat Wisconsin. That is all that matter at this moment. I guess lay the beat down on Indiana and ttun, but the big game now is Wisky. I have a feeling if we beat Wisky we can make it.

And yet the genius that is Desmond Howard ranked OSU 8th this week, the lowest of all ESPN "power rankers".
