OSU's Record in 2008?

[Taosman]

Reverse psychology may be at play next year.
By that I mean in perception, if we should go undefeated, we would look like we played a weaker schedule.
We lose a game or 2, we actually look better to many including the media. :tongue2:
I believe we saw some of that this year.

I for one look forward for every team we play using the spread offense since we will learn everything we need in order to defend against it and turn ir into cookie crumbs. And I still say we will not be beaten this year.

Just like last year?

Exactly. I will believe we will lose when I see it and not before hand. I expect the best out of MY Buckeyes simply because they are buckeyes.
Last year when a lot of people expected us to , and forecast us to finish around third in the b10 I said the same thing about being undefeated and look where we wound up.
A team cannot , and never will go undefeated if it thinks it won't. If their are weak hearts on that team it will falter and not succeed. And I for one , refuse to believe that there are any faint hearts on the Buckeyes team.
I believe that to a man, My Buckeyes are towers of strentgh, Players that believe in themselves and their teammates and will outdo themsleves to win and be true to the Buckeye tradition.
In their believing that then I can do no less but to believe in them.

I think OSU goes 11-1...Loss at SC and rematch with SC in the title game and you guys get us that time.

Everyone is talking about the inexperience of Sanchez, but he was started 3 games including at Oregon which is brutal and at ND which obviously has a ton of emotion as a rivalry game. He will be ready. If SC can get Joe McKnight in space on the outside, OSU will have a tough time. If we can't stop Beanie we will struggle. it will come down to the running game

I just can't see OSU getting into the title game if they don't go undefeated or beat USC. The national media is down on us too much.

It is highly unlikely we would see a rematch in the BCS title game.

I jsut dont see anyone outside of maybe WV that won't have 2 losses. the Big 12 will be brutal as will the SEC

Umm, beaten in the regular season, beaten in the bowl game. I'm not sure your record at prognostication last season backs up your optimism about the next.

(There are solid reasons to be optimistic about the Buckeyes next year though, without doubt).

 

[Best Buckeye]

I don't know about Taos but my prognostication last year was probably word for word as this years. I always expect the Bucks to win.
