Add to that our lack of Southern speed. Oh, woe is us, woe is us. And we don't even have an ethically-challenged coach. Oh, woe is us. Woe is us!
We're just not worthy! Thank you, Dennis! Oh, thank you!
What a loser! Personally, I stopped reading anything Dennis Dodd wrote a long time ago. The sad thing is that he gives Ohio State his #1 nod and lots of Buckeye fans will think he is "coming around".
In truth, I can't understand what anyone would see in the facile columns he posts or his opinion of teams. Check out his previous predictions. I especially like the way that he and his cohorts now rank teams conditionally, such as "after Spring football", like we won't realize just how badly their rankings pan out as the year progresses.
So, let me go out on a ledge with a prediction of my own. Ohio State at #1 is a no-brainer. The Big Ten will recover somewhat this year. Oh, and Dennis Dodd will continue to be a loser. Write me down for those.
