I don't like it because we have a bullseye on us every weekend (but we do anyways, so it's not that big of a deal), but I like it because if you start the season at #1, you take care of business every week and you're in the title game.
If we were at 5 and two other teams took care of business every week, we wouldn't get the nod.
This is unfair, but it's the way it is.
EDIT: And yeah, fuck ESPN for their little comments there. Whether anyone wants us there or not has nothing to do with how good of a team we are. At least they realized this, since we are at #1.

That is also very true...but I figured if we were #5, USC would be ahead of us, and if we went undeafeated, I think we would have a 99% chance of playing for it all again. But like you said, it can be unfair
Oh yeah the comments are shit from ESPN

Yeah, I don't disagree with anything you've said, I just don't want people to have another reason not to put us in the title game if we do go undefeated.
I have this feeling that if we start at #1 and end at #1, we have a better shot at going than if we start at something less than #3 (assuming there are two other undefeated schools like Georgia and Oklahoma, for example).

As much as i hate E!spn, they aren't the only one sniping us with that crap. It's coming from every news source and publication. Get used to it.

Yep...the Bucks have something to prove. The ignorant idiots of the world aren't going to shut up until we win it all. Sucks, but that's just the way it is.
Something tells me though that even when we are crowned National Champs again, that I'll still get crap from the Buckeye haters. They'll probably say crap like, "One out of 3 sucker," or "took ya long enough" or everyone gets lucky once in a while." Ah yes...I can hear it now...and I'll be laughing the whole time as I run up and down my quiet street with my block O flag streaming behind me!
 baby!

I hope they say that. You could respond to their ignorance with so much that would make them look so stupid. I've said this before, I'd take 1/3 for the rest of my life in a heartbeat.
