Miracles do happen though.....

All the pundits said the Buckeye defense was our "weak link". I hope this game, and others before this one, show why we DESERVE to be ranked NUMBER ONE!...and the BCS rankings should follow suit.

Congrats to Iowa for a hard fought ballgame. Hopefully, we will finally be taken seriously, and also the Big Ten as a conference. GO BUCKS!!!!!!

yeah...

they are very opportunistic.

They give up a bit too much on the ground for my taste, but they get the job done.

Ok a quick recap

Auburn, Ohio State, USC and and Michigan won to keep them in the hunt for the National Championship.

Georgia and Mississippi are playing the game where offense goes to die.

Nebraska won by the skin of their teeth against Kansas. They can look decent to good against better opponents, but they seem to play down sometimes to their lesser opponents.

Florida won a close game by a deceptively large margin against Alabama. The Alabama defense kept them in the game, but their offense just could not get it going.

The upset of the day, assuming that Georgia doesn't go down, was completed by Georgia Tech against Virginia Tech. GT was able to get plays from their playmakers, and VT just couldn't respond in time.

Gosh, for a Buckeye fan, you seem kinda critical?

Are you sure you bleed scarlet and gray?...:)

I have to be realistic.

They won didn't they?

:)

Honestly they could've put up 40 on Iowa.

The uniforms. Iowa used to black and zest yellow, now they are black and pro gold (like the gold in the steelers and chargers).

They've been that way for a while...

guess you don't see many Iowa games :)

They've been pure gold for at least 8 years that I can think of....

USC looked again overrated a tad to me for the second week in a role. However Booty does do a good job of game management

To: catholicfreeper

yeah....

All you can worry about is that your team takes care of business.

While I don't think there's a debate about #1 or #4 for that matter, 2 and 3 are very debatable and honestly both polls will continue to be split.

I'm kinda relieved that I was more or less right about both, although the Wazzu game was a bit closer than I expected.

I wonder what the game would have looked like if USC had their best WR....oh well...

THEY?.....any Ohio State fan would have said "we"..lol

Tressell doesn't work that way. That's why I have so much respect for him. He may just quietly slip in another NC for us this year.

So, Mike, who is your favorite college football team?

I haven't seen too many Iowa games, but I do remember at one time it being more of a maize gold.

I agree. They do not look like a top 5 team to me. The injuries are really starting to add up. Couple that with too many inexperienced players and I just don't see them remaining undefeated for long. Believe me, I take no joy in saying this.
