ESPN (A bunch of Death-Spiraling maroons)

I have no problem saying the "may" or are "risking" dropping out, but Fowler made it clear it was a foregone conclusion.

Of course, this is right after saying Miami has too much speed for tOSU...

If the Bucks go in and get destroyed by 3+ scores, they drop out. If its a close game, down to the wire loss? I don't see them dropping all the way out.

I think on the heels of our performance against Toledo, if we do lose that will definitely push us out...

How can anyone without scarlet and gray lenses say we deserve to be ranked?

Obviously I'm in a pretty foul mood at the moment. I'm at a loss to understand our QB rotation.

You can't, and they will most likely fall out of the top 25. When you have an absolutely ineffectual offensive scheme, you should not be ranked at all.

I agree. We do not look like a top 25 team.

You can't. Defensively the Ohio State is still a top tier unit, but with how inept the offense is there is now way they should be in the top 25. The QB play has to improve significantly for Ohio State to get back into the top 25. The game last night gave everyone else a blueprint to beating Ohio State. Stack the box and make the QB and WRs make plays. Until that happens Ohio State will stay out of the top 25.

I actually can't agree with this statement much this year. I believe it's the eighth time in 10 years (or something like that) we've allowed a 100 yard rusher. I don't believe that will the be the only time this year.

You can't just look at the numbers, you have to look at how often they're on the field because the offense can't do anything. Even the best D's get worn out. As much as they were on the field last night I thought they held up pretty well after the rocky start.

LSU or Alabama's defense probably couldn't of won us that game last night. They may get one pick six but not two. Our defense gave us more than enough opportunities to win this game in the end.

FWIW, Miami had over 100 yards of rushing in the first half, and most of that came on the first two drives of the game.

Did the defense play better as the game went on? Certainly, but it doesn't lessen my disappointment in what should have been a much different game.

In my IMO, both sides were a letdown last night. The offense was horrible on a bad scale, but the defense wasn't good.

In my, I say, in my opinion.

Any Buckeye fan with a subscription to that rag really needs to drop it. I'm pleased to be able to say that I've never purchased a single copy.

I've flipped through a few in waiting rooms over the years: The Mag reads like Tiger Beat for 25-year-old douchebags.

ESPN has a publication of some sort? Hm. Had no idea.

Does it come with crayons, or must one purchase those separately?
