    It just amazes me that Oklahoma has dropped only 1 spot in each of their three losses (especially considering two of them weren't even close).

    For my tastes:

    1. USC
    2. Auburn
    3. Utah
    4. Oklahoma
    5. Texas
    6. Louisville
    7. Georgia
    8. Iowa
    9. VaTech
    10. Cal

    Bob Stoops = John Cooper.


    I thought #1Pete did a great job preparing his guys and Bob laid an egg. These polls are only interesting because Bowls shed light on part of the season that the regular season can't...winning the big game.

    If I had a Djini in a lamp, my first wish would be for a Playoff. Of course, that Djini would warp my wish and put the BCS dicks in charge of it.

    It's simply politics and three miserable losses. But no reason to worry! Who cares, we weren't going to be top 10 anyway. Heck, I figured we'd end up unranked at one point.

    Just think of it this way Mili! Look at what we did to Okla State when Tressel had a month to apply his mind. Now, just think of what he can do to Texas with the off-season to prepare.

    I can hardly wait for next year.

    Buckeyes=National Champions next year. Go Bucks!

    How is cal still in the top 10 after getting thier asses handed to 'em by texas tech?

    Well, from 5th to 9th sounds about right to me. It is hard to move them behind too many 3-loss teams (Miami after the UNC game?, 2-in-a-row Michigan?). I suppose you could've put Boise up there or not drop VaTech one spot.

    It all boils down to Texas next year, but I don't know if your OK St. logic can be applied to Texas. Texas will be a different team next year (regardless of how many seniors are lost or not, the team will change as the new year starts) and its a lot tougher to prepare for a team when you only have 1 game on film from the current season. I'm confidant that Tressel will find a way though. Tressel's coaching >>>>> Mack Brown.

    Another thing, I more than anyone want a shot at the national title next year, but will it even be possible? If we learned anything from this year, your pre-season placement limits how far you can go in the rankings (i.e. Auburn). Assuming pre-season ranking doesn't get dissolved by the BCS next year, what are we looking at before the season begins?

    We'll Corso and Herbstreit had OSU #2 behind USC for their preseason top 5 next year. That tells me we're at least on the radar screen of the "experts"; so I expect a top 10 preseason ranking.

    ESPiN put us at #12 in their current poll, but once the controversy subsides we could sneak higher.

    Also keep in mind that Texas will very likely be in the Top5. I think tOSU has a good shot at taking it to them in C-bus next year in the 2nd game of the season.

    For that reason even if tOSU is #12 at the beginning, they should leap to #7 after beating Texas if not higher.

    After winning our first game we will jump at least one spot. Always happens every year.

    I'd say alot of peoples outlook right now is clouded by the fact that everyone (outside of Ohio) thinks we may be in for trouble regarding all the off the field problems. If everything gets ironed out before next season and we have an uneventful summer I could see us top five to start and right there after Texas.
