Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
SKULL SESSION: TALKS OF AN EIGHT-TEAM PLAYOFF, JUSTIN FIELDS' LACK OF CONCERN ABOUT AWARDS, AND THE BUCKEYE BASKETBALL TEAM'S ARGUMENT FOR THE NO. 1 RANKING
DO IT, COWARDS. As unbelievable as it may seem, the Ohio State basketball team probably has a more legitimate claim to the No. 1 spot in the rankings than the football team does.
The AP Poll still isn't giving the Buckeyes that respect, but at least CBS Sports (and pretty much every computer ranking system) is.
The new No. 1 is Ohio State.
As I explained in Monday's Poll Attacks column, Ohio State is 9-0 with eight double-digit victories -- among them a 25-point win over Villanova, a 25-point win over North Carolina and a 32-point win over the Penn State team that beat Maryland on Tuesday night. So that's three wins by at least 25 points over schools currently ranked in the top 25 at KenPom. At the time those games were played, Villanova and UNC were in the top 10 of the Associated Press Top 25 poll -- which means Ohio State is just the fourth team in AP poll history to own two wins over top-10 teams by at least 25 points in the same season.
The three teams that previously did it each won a national title....
So that's a great sign.
Combine all that with the fact that Ohio State is now No. 1 at KenPom, KPI and Torvik, and I really don't understand the argument for anybody else being No. 1. The Buckeyes are one of just five remaining unbeaten teams -- and they have better, and more convincing, wins than everybody else. So they were the only team under consideration for the top spot in Wednesday morning's updated Top 25 And 1.
This team has been so damn fun and good that it's convinced some of the most rabid football fans in the country to share their attention with the basketball team amidst a national title run.
Folks, it looks like Ohio State is a basketball school now, too.

Assuming we beat Minnesota and move up to #1... that is something I don't think any of us expected to see this year. I was optimistic that we'd have a good team, but damn... this team looks elite.

Fortunately, I don't give a shit about being ranked #1 in December in basketball.
Conference road games are rarely easy. Regroup at home vs SEMO, get Duane back, then get ready for Kentucky.
