Perhaps the fault lies with Dodd.
Per BuckeyeXtra - 14 hours ago.
No way Buckeyes get leapt over according to --> Jerry Palm!!
Quote:
If either No. 1 Missouri or No. 2 West Virginia loses Saturday (to Oklahoma or Pittsburgh, respectively), the Buckeyes should easily slide into the national championship game regardless of who wins behind them.
So says BCS analyst Jerry Palm, who runs the collegebcs.com Web site.
"I don't see any realistic scenario where Ohio State would get jumped," Palm said.
Mainly, that's because the Buckeyes are a strong No. 3 in both the USA Today and Harris Interactive polls, receiving some first-place votes. Because of that support, Palm does not see another team capable of a big enough boost to climb all the way to No. 2.
"They would have to get some first-place votes, practically, and I don't see that happening," Palm said.
However, if both Missouri and West Virginia lose, Palm predicts that the Buckeyes' title-game opponent would be Louisiana State if the Tigers win in the Southeastern Conference championship game. Georgia (fourth in the BCS) is idle.

So, err, what was that Dodd fellow saying again?

The last few posts might seem a bit disjointed. People were talking about the same article in two different threads. All posts related to Dodd's article that were not here originally here have been moved here.

No no no. See teams that play defense = boring. Who wants to see a team hold its rival to 91 yards. Now teams that don't play defense = exciting cause then you get 40 point shoot outs. |

Bottom line
Seems like every major sports outlet is [censored]ed off that #1 the season has come down to Mizzou and West Va. #2 The Buckeyes are waiting on deck once again for a 1 or 2 to sliip AGAIN. # 3 that all of thier pre-season picks and outcomes were blown away by week 3 of this yr.
We had a weak schedule this yr yes, but every team ahead of us lost. Don't hate the Buckeyes people , hate the system. And now everyone ahead of the Bucks has lost again. Isn't that how it works? If you lose , you move out of the way to see what the next team can do, and so on and so on.
I like how Cowherd ( of ESPN radio) is all of a sudden a Buckeye Banger. He says that Ohio State has no athletes. And we never schedule anyone tough. So I guess Cowherd didn't watch any ball last yr, because last I remember and saw , we played 3 ........yes 3 #2 ranked teams last yr. And won 2 of those. Losing the most important one .
He also said the Big Ten is just old run style offenses. Ahhh hello...........Purdue is a Spread, Northwestern is a Spread, Illinois is a Spread, Mich St. is at times a Spread. This guy is so caught up in SEC , USC glam that he has blinders on when it comes to everyone else. And as far a talentless, We (Ohio State) have theeee 2nd most active NFL players in the League, let alone the # of 1st rounders out of a major program( 2nd to Miami).
Regardless of what bowl we go to ............The Rose or the Suger. With everyone banging and saying that Ohio State is talentless and doesn't belong where they are , I feel sorry for whatever team we play. Tressel will definately motivate the players. He learns from his mistakes, and is always ready for a Big Game. His record speaks volums, both Div. 1 and 2.
All the haters can go spit!!!!!...............................
