Damn I just want the Big Ten to have another year like 2005 so everyone will shut up. Nothing would be more satisfying then beating Georgia as well....

And USC to lead the season off...
The Big 10's style of football is fun to hate. Who cares? The Buckeyes have three straight Big Ten titles, and 5 out of the last 6 years we've been BCS bowling. Last year was supposed to be a down year for us, remember? Let the haters do what they do best, and we'll keep doing what we do best... win.

From Stewart Mandel's mailbag (at least he mentions that tOSU played Texas in '06) :
si.com.mandel
Quote:
Stewart: I'm of the belief that college football benefits from the presence of a perennial powerhouse to root for/against. This role has been filled recently by USC and, to some degree, Oklahoma and LSU. Do you see any team asserting itself in the next few years and filling the role?
-- Marc P., Somerville, Mass.
I'm pretty sure that team already exists -- and it's The Ohio State
University.
In nearly a decade covering this sport, I've never seen such universal animosity toward a program (Notre Dame notwithstanding) than what currently surrounds the Buckeyes. Based on some of the e-mails I receive, you would think Jim Tressel has been caravanning around the country egging houses.
It's pretty interesting when you think about it. Normally, people root against the teams that win a lot; in this case, the ill will has been generated entirely by the Buckeyes having lost in consecutive national championship games.
The good news is, this should all be resolved fairly early this season. As mentioned earlier, Ohio State plays at USC the third week of the season. If they win, no one will be able to accuse the Buckeyes of "backing into" the title game this time. (By the way, what's with the short-term memory, people? With the amount of complaints I receive about Ohio State's schedule you would never guess they played Texas as recently as 2006.) If the Buckeyes get crushed again, I give you my word as a pollster they will quietly disappear into the night.
Cont'd ...

This is a quote from the college football mailbag:
Ohio State should now be permanently banned from the top five. If not that, at least keep them out of the top two. They DO NOT belong there.
-- Kevin Flagg, Alpharetta, Ga.
We should do something bad to Kevin Flagg from Alpharetta, Ga  |

Gotta' love Georgia fans. They really believe they belong with the tOSU's, USC's, Texas', etc. in the history of college football. Hey Georgia, you've gone undefeated how many times under Richt? That's what I thought.
*cough*West Virginia*cough*
