I'm feeling better about the SEC teams knocking each others dicks in the dirt after looking at that.

I agree with Biobuck...Texas will finish unbeaten....which is not a big deal this year with OU having a rebuilding year, not reloading. A&M could be our downfall this year, playing AT their home. I hope Biobuck is right, USC loses to a lesser school, and we meet again in Pasadena ! It will be GREAT game!

we are ohio state. the polls dont like us, the media doesnt like us, we wont get a worthy spot in 90% of the polls.
Click to expand...

I do not think the media bias is really there. We are the highest ranked of the one-loss teams. Could be up one or two more spots, sure. Could we be one or two lower, yep. If we play like we are capable for the rest of the season we will quickly be in the top five and right back in the thick of things. It's early and a third of the teams ahead of us have only played one game. Things will really shake out by the end of October.

Look guys, its only the second week, teams are going to be 2-0 easily with cupcake OOC games. There are somebig games on this weekend that can help us out in the polls:

- Minn vs. FAU - This should be all Minnesota, as they are knocking on the Top 25's door. A win here will and some good games in the Big10 will help OSU later when we beat Minnesota.

- MSU vs. Notre Dame - ND is looking like the Patriots with Weis at the helm. But if MSU can take out ND, itwill be one less team nipping at our toes for a top 10/5 spot and one less undefeated team. MSUs win should give a positional rating and if we can beat them in 4 weeks, it will make us look better.

- Oregon St. @ Lousiville - On paper Lousiville should be the victor. If OrSt can take this game, Louisville will fall in the polls and should give tOSU some breathing room as another undefeated bites the dust. Big East looks to be having a down year - lets go Beavers!

- Tenn @ Florida - Tenn has struggled against UAB, winning it in OT while Florida seems to be on the field looking to prove they are a Florida team not to mess with. If Tenn can beat up on Florida away, this should drop Florida a spot or two behind us. I cant see Tenn staying undefeated in the SEC, but Florida has the same outlook. Even if Urban Meyer can get it done against the Vols, no need to worry, Tenn will fall behind us and be aone loss team that has struggled early.

-Oklahoma @ UCLA - Not that Oklahoma has played dominant or that they are anywhere the top 15, but the Big12 seems to be having a down year. A win over Oklahoma by the Bruins may keep Oklahoma out of the Big12 at least untill middle of Big12 play. This is a good thing for the Buckeyes.

- Arkansas @ USC - Any gambler would tell you to let it all ride on the Trojans in this matchup. Arkansas has pumped out less than stellar performances with Houston Nutt (regular 5 season loss's), BUT anything can happend on a Saturday (ie. TCU @ OU). I would love to see USC fall here and be a one loss team, staying top 5, but Texas would swiftly move to number 1 - makingour loss have a little bit moresun light.

- FSU @ BC - I believe that #17 BC has a legit chance to knock off FSU. Florida St looked horrible against a mediocre Miami squad and was only up 13-10 on the Citadel at the half while BC routed Army 44-7, never being down. If Boston College can prove to the nation that FSU is truely the team we all saw struggle against Miami, then they will drop outof the Top10 for a fair amount of time and allow OSU to make an advancement in the polls. But, if FSU can pull out a win, then BC will be a 1 loss team, forcing them into the mid 20s and out of harms way.

- C. Michigan @ Penn St. - We need for Pen St. to look extra good in this matchup and force their way into the bottom/mid 20s by the time we lineup with them on the gridiron in 3 weeks. A win here can only help pad their strength and a winn over Penn St in a couple weeks can only help but pad our muscles.

- Northern Iowa @ Iowa - After Iowas dissapointing loss this weeked to ISU, look for them to be thirsty for revenge against the next team in their way. That team just happends to be N. Iowa University. The confidence in Iowa will rise, as should their position in the polls a few spots (depending on how large the victory margin is). The following week Iowa will come to The Shoe where OSU should not lose another home game this season and this will in turn help OSUs points in the Top 10.

Illinois @ Cal - Cal seems to be the victor already - but slow down there, Illinois has Ron Zook as their leader. Remember last weekend with the second half 26 point come behind win against the favored Rutgers. Illinois may be outmatched with talent, but this game will be about leaders. A struggle on Cals part, or a win for Illinois will help add to the Big Tens reputation and Cal will also be a team we wont have to worry about lurking around, waiting to make a move for the top 10.


The most important game of all:

San Diego St @ OSU. - We need a solid, confident Offense. At the helm should be the #1 and only QB to guide us. A needed big win here will show that we arent just a mid major victor. Pittman should have a solid day, we need 5 catches at least by Holmes, Gonzolez and Hall. Hamby needs to redeem himself with a pass or two, while Ginn should get some looks in the backfield off of reverses and lateralls/dumps to do his thing. A needed 15 touches of the ball minimum for Ginn is what our OC should be thinking. The secondary needs to work on the coverage when pressed on the heels. Our DLine may need some adjusting to stop the run and figure out how to make big Anthony Schlegal a force in the middle.
