IF we do make another title game there won't be any bitching about the schedule next year.

#2 would be ridiculously high. Kansas would be the only team in that top 10 that OSU would be favored against. |

True. Honestly, I could careless about the preseason rankings. That being said, if we return JL, Boone, Gholston, and Jenkins, and get recruits like TP and JJ, with the talent that should be ready to go next year, #2 isn't ridiculously high at all. Will all that happen? Most likely not, but there's a chance.
The first thing I thought about regarding the NCG was the impact on recruits. I thought we probably lost guys like TP, JJ and Wells. But I think it may have actually helped a bit. Tress can now go in and tell these kids "You know what, we may have some positions open next season that you can battle for." Im not saying I expect a lot of changes to be made, but guys like Pryor could certainly come in and add a spark like Tebow, or JJ could come in and start at guard, definately, and I think these recruits will see that. Not to mention, if Gholston does leave, I feel we have a good shot at Wells. Next season will certainly be exciting

2008 Preseason Rankings
I'm interested in knowing everyones top 5 rankings for next year...based on the information we have about who is leaving and who is not thus far.
1. Oklahoma -- Should have lots of returning starters. Did pretty well last year, and will most likely improve this year.
2. Ohio State -- Beanie Wells is the man. Period, dot, end of sentence. Now all we need is for Boeckman to either improve, or find a second hand man (Henton??) who can get more playing time in his place. Tress needs to not be so impatient with Beanie's running game and it will all work out. If we beat USC then we will definitely be seeing a NC game again next year.
3. Georgia -- They finished their season out really strong. Lots of returning starters.
4. Missouri -- Really good defense players, most of whom should be coming back.
5. USC -- Losing their QB will be a hard hit, but other than that they seem to be keeping a lot of their good players. Finished season strong, likely to return in full force in the 2008 season. I am really looking forward to the OSU game in September.

One wonders about the hit our ranking will take as a result of the general assumptions about the Big Ten? We may debut at about #5 if voters are affected by the jabbering of the "sports journalists".

probably....in fact I'll be surprised if Ohio State is even in the top 5.
That said, next year will work out like this year, if Ohio State goes out and takes care of their own business everything will work out. | |
