No team scares the hell out of me, and no Buckeye players had better have the attitude that they'd rather not face the "best"

I'd just as soon play every Top 5 team during the OOC schedule.

I'm not exactly 'scared' but I am a little nervous about it. Isn't there talk that Carrol might leave before the 2008 season to go to the Falcons? Any thoughts on that?

Ain't gonna happen. If anything, it's just an excuse to increase his salary

If our Defense played like it did this year, then we will be fine. but we lose a lot on D. As far as our schedule is concerened, we have a tad bit tougher sched next year....Auburn at home, trip to colorado....I would put WVU about 7 or so....not sure about top 5....

CFN is really working the SEC's last good nerve...

SEC fans will go ballistic at the notion, and America might let out a collective groan at the thought of OSU in another national title game, but with all the returning talent, this really should be 2008's best team. Remember, 2007 was supposed to be a rebuilding year and a stepping-stone to this season. Getting to the national championship was unexpected gravy. Shock of shocks, most of the stars decided to come back for one more year with DE Vernon Gholston the only early defector.

The Buckeyes don't have the speed or athleticism of the top teams, right? The NFL certainly doesn't think so with at least 11 starters, not including both kickers, who'll be drafted with five, LB James Laurinaitis, LB Marcus Freeman, CB Malcolm Jenkins, RB Beanie Wells, and OT Alex Boone, who'd be starting on day one of the 2008 NFL season.

A national punching bag after two straight blowout losses in BCS Championships, the Buckeyes will be good enough to get another shot with almost everyone of note returning on offense including QB Todd Boeckman and top receivers Brian Hartline and Brian Robiskie. The defense might lose Gholston and LB Larry Grant, but nine starters are back. PK Ryan Pretorius and P A.J. Trapasso form one of the nation's best kicking duos.

SEC fan's inability to see the media love-fest for his conference is legendary.
