Coming to a Horseshoe near you: No. 1 vs. No. 2?

Saturday's Ohio State-Cincinnati football game is a perfect example why gambling on sports will drive you to drink just about anything but the gas in the mower. The Buckeyes are 291/2-point favorites. No way Jim Tressel runs it up on his pal Mark Dantonio. Then an old guy from South Africa kicks a 52-yard field goal with 74 seconds to play. OSU wins by 30.
Big Game hype: Considering that most of the Big Ten looks as scary as a litter of newborn puppies, it's not too early to start talking OSU-Michigan. The Horseshoe, Nov. 18. Could it be No. 1 vs. No. 2?

The Buckeyes' schedule isn't extremely scary. Things could go haywire at Iowa, but OSU will be looking for payback from that meltdown in Iowa City two years ago. Michigan's three toughest games appear to be Penn State, Michigan State and Iowa, but they get the Spartans and Hawkeyes at the Big House.
Yeah, it's early, and a lot of teams need to lose, but it could happen.

It's really early, but it would be something I haven't seen in my lifetime and I would love to see it. It's amazing that if Coop was still here, this poll would probably be a little different.

They won't jump AU either(seeing how they defeated their toughest opponent)

Like it - sure.

Think it will happen - no. But, at this rate scUM will come in fairly well ranked.

There are a few games between then and now that should have our attention, so after this post its back to State Penn, then at night in Kinnick Stadium and so on and so forth ..

Honestly no, b/c that will put scUM in the national spotlight and let them attract more highly rated recruits. Keep them in the top 10, but not #2.

it would be sweet, if that happens. I dont think scum can make a #2 run this year. I think Henne will have a let down some where or hart will get hurt.
But then agian it does not matter as long as we kick there butts all over the place!!
GO BUCKS!
