That doesn't sound like Tressel to me - to give a rat's ass what the pollsters think.

Yeah, I think Tressel is starting to see the big picture that if we dont win every game like the 02 season, we got to run up the score a bit, not take out our starters too early and pad stats against ranked opponents any chance we can. This is very un-Tressel-like, but I agree with him that a small opponent like Illinois wont help our BCS chances if we win by a TD or two, we gotta put a spanking on them for 4 quarters to make the nation notice that we play offense here at OSU and are a worthy candidate for a BCS bid if we dont get the nod after winning the Big Ten.
But Illinois should be a practice for next weekends game against NW. |

I think you'e right but I also think he wants a BCS bowl and I think he will do what it takes to get one. That's what I like about him, he is goal-oriented and very capable of weighing all the influences on attaining his goal. |

Computer polls don't use margin of victory, and pollsters are unlikely to be impressed by any ridiculous margin of victory over Zook's hapless bunch.
Bad theory, sorry. 
Tressel doesn't need to "try" to run up the score. Short of ordering players to take a knee, he's going to be hard pressed to not blast the Illini into dust.
In fact, the Bucks could come out hung over from the Minny game, and looking ahead to NU and scUM, and still hang 21 on Illinois in the first quarter.
Now give us that damned turtle back already.

I'd love to see us pitch a shutdown for a change. A nice, old-fashioned, Woody-type 63-0 demolition would be sweet.

I'm with ya! That would be sweet! Preferably 63-0 at the half or early 3rd quarter! Then let everybody play!

Who has the turtle? Illinois shouldn't have it, unless it only counts games in Columbs. Illinois won in 2001. Ohio State won in 2002, in Illinois. I don't remember 2003, except that only Wisconsin and the bad guys beat Ohio State in 2003, so Ohio State shouldn't have lost any Turtles. Only NW, Purdue, Wisconsin, and Iowa beat the Bucks in 2004. Why shouldn't Ohio State have the turtle?
