I've got a good feeling about Ohio State. The buckeyes are the sexy pick to lose according to sports talk guru's. This year its Texas who has to deal with off the field distractions. They also lost a special teams player.

Hey Mike my tixs to Penn State game are in the south stands (the last time I was there they really were stands).

Next week is the big week. I think there are 8 games pitting top 25 teams against each other.

I had a bad feeling going up into those old wooden ones on the south side :)

Hmmm. I'm pulling for Texas, but I haven't seen anyone pick them. Almost everyone is going for Buckeyes by three, at least all the picks I've seen. Here's my take: As far as distractions, Texas lives with them all the time. Losing Vince Young to the NFL was a big deal, and McCoy can't carry the team like Young did, but he's a pretty good QB. Ohio State has to deal with replacing nine defensive starters, and that's got to be tough, but they still have their killer offense.

I respect both these teams, because they've got the guts to play each other early. Best to the Buckeyes, and prayers for a good game, decided by the players, not the refs, and NO INJURIES.
