I would rather have lost to florida 41-14 than require our guys to share a field with scum again. They have to endure that stink once a year, isn't that enough?

Except that team would have demolished Michigan the second time around - Dotson's hand would have healed - of course if Chris Leak plays a typical Chris Leak game, if Ginn doesn't sprain his ankle, if Troy plays his typical game, the score does not turn out to be 41 - 14. Ifs, ands and buts...

couldn't think of a good thread to put this but I didn't want to start a new one.....

My 4 year old son came in my bed last night at 3 am. To preface this story, he is constantly coming in my bed in the night and making lame excuses to try and sleep with me. There is the "my foot hurts", "I'm cold", "I mis you".

Last night he comes in and says the following:
Son: "Dad, I had a nightmare. I need to sleep in your bed."
Me: "what's wrong buddy? What happened?"
Son: "I'm just really scared, I had a dream that I liked Michigan"
Me: "jump in boy and lets go to sleep"

Those teams haven't existed for 45 and 8 years respectively. I can't remember a better time to be a Buckeye than now!

It's ALWAYS a good time to be a Buckeye. Up or down, win or lose, always a proud Buckeye. Having a great team and an awesome coach and winning the championship does make it a little more fun, though....

They have a CFP Ranking and a FPI Ranking. Both have been updated and the FPI has tOSU 3rd.
http://espn.go.com/college-football/statistics/teamratings
Since that ranking has Oregon 13-2, Bama 12-2, and tOSU 14-1 I assume its updated.

It's a mathematical predictor. It says, "The Football Power Index (FPI) is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season." Its obvious flaw is that it doesn't have the human common-sense element. It's not a poll, so its essentially meaningless...

And hence my original statement of, "That ranking sure lends a lot of credibility to their predictor model." No where did I describe it as a poll. But thank you for correcting me.
