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.

You may well be right. This is without question the toughest game to call this week. I won't be surprised either way, because Ohio St. is breaking in a new defense against a new Texas offense. I'm leaning towards Ohio State because I think their offense is good enough to score against anybody, but it's still a tough call.
