there’s no comparison to the teams or defenses in the SEC and Big Ten....OSU also started the season with stalwarts like San Diego State, Cal, Florida AM...
the ACC is also mediocre this season- Duke is a terrific story but put them in the SEC or PAC 12 and they’re lucky to make a bowl game, never mind the chance at playing for a conference title...
top 10 BCS rankings entering the weekend:
4 SEC teams
2 ACC teams
2 Big 12
1 Big 10
1 Pac 12
“OSU also started the season with stalwarts like San Diego State, Cal, Florida AM...”
When they scheduled Cal, Cal was a top 10 team...and Florida A&M was a last -minute fill in when Vanderbilt bailed.
