i've got iowa at 10 in the power rankings right now, so i'll be watching to see if they really are that bad. also, i'll be looking for the buckeyes to actually show up.

I wonder if Pomeroy established their rankings before Snoopy left the program. I think we will still win this game but the Big 10 schedule just got a lot tougher.

The absence of Noopy Crater has nothing to do with the Buckeyes' fortunes the remainder of the season.

Dave Lighty is another matter entirely.
