All Buckeye fans should be cheering for Tenn tonight. An LSU loss should move us up to #7.

It's gonna be hard to climb to #1 or #2 this year.... we just need to win out and win the BIG TEN.
I do agree with ya though.

Seems pretty on the mark to me.
Unfortuantely, we needed Michigan to win out after the ND loss to give ourselves any chance of getting to Pasadena.

I still think the ACC and SEC teams in front of us will all thin out. They key will remain Texas and USC. I just don't see how we could jump either one if both teams had 1 loss and I don't see either team losing twice.
The only scenario I could see a 1 loss OSU jump a 1 loss USC/UT is if they lose very late and very ugly while we continue to impress on the pollsters that we've gotten a lot better. Give people a reason to say "if Troy Smith was starting the Texas game OSU wins easy.." type of thing.
It's all a long shot but we knew that as soon as we lost to Texas. What we can control is our B10 fate and as soon as UW drops one we're in the drivers seat for an outright B10 title, a top 5 BCS ranking and our 3rd BCS Bowl appearance in the past 4 years.

USC shouldn't lose, b/c they don't play anyone. Texas shouldn't lose, but we'll see (they were tested by Kansas and others on the road).
I think OSU should be at least top-5 by the end of the year. Florida State is definitely going to lose a game. LSU may lose today. That moves us to #6 already. Georgia doesn't impress me enough to be undefeated. VTech, Florida could lose

Notre Dame's claim to fame is beating Michigan. Michigan's claim to fame is losing to Notre Dame. Fact is, Notre Dame hasn't beaten anyone of real substance. Pitt is 1-3, Michigan just suffered another loss, and Washington is Washington. |

ND did hold Washington to a little over 400 passing yards. That bodes very well for them when USC comes into town, don't you think?
