Heavyweights
USC
@ PSU
Logic says just write in a split here. I say if we can beat USC there is no reason we shouldn't be undefeated heading into Happy Valley.
Conference Middleweights
Illinois
Wisky
Minny
Iowa
All the up and coming B10 teams have to come to Columbus. Only Iowa presents and type of letdown danger (week after PSU). You have to show up against everyone but there is no one on this list who can go athlete for athlete with us or has a great returning SR dominated team.
Lightweights and OOC
Navy
Toledo
@ IU
@ Purdue
NMSU
Respect all fear none. Nice break not playing MSU and having two of our B10 road games in the state of Indiana.
The Game
@ scUM
I am going to go one more year with giving scUM the respect they deserve from The Games past and not put them in the lightweight category.
I have concerns about our OL. I have concerns about our RB's. I have concerns about Pryor throwing until I see different. I have concerns about our secondary and I don't buy the hype of the interior DL.
All that said, when I look at the schedule the way I have it broken up I just don't see anything worse than a 10-2 regular season.
GPIA
Our streak of 53 (I think) games without losing to a non-BCS-participant will end at some point; but I don't see it happening this year (but do you ever see it coming?)
And while I agree with all of your concerns and raise you a suspect pass rush until they prove otherwise; Pryor's improvement fall-to-spring has me more excited than I want to be at this point.
