Ohio State wasn't very good then either. They didn't perform all that differently than they did the week before against Navy. This is a totally different team now, and arguably a different team that what would have emerged from scraping out a win in that game. They may not be better positioned in the polls right now than they would have been with a win, but I think they are a better football team than they might have otherwise become.

I agree entirely. It also had the benefit of taking the pressure off of them. The two bye weeks also helped.

I don't know if it would have taken a loss to get this team gelling, the drop in the polls from a squeaker with VA Tech and the subsequent B1G Hell week might have been the disrespect necessary to light the fire.
