Found this. It's a pretty good read. Should supply a chuckle or two.
You have to remember, Ohio St. plays by certain rules.
1) When discussing Ohio St., you are free to bring up the MAC and I-AA teams they play, when discussing other teams, such as the SEC, you cannot mention the Sun Belt and I-AA teams they play, nor the fact that they never travel outside their region.
2) When discussing other teams vis a vis Ohio St., wins and losses don't matter. That Ohio St. rarely (if ever) loses to teams they shouldn't lose to while other teams do is irrelevant. Oklahoma is better than OSU, notwithstanding they lost to Colorado. Why? Because that loss doesn't exist since Oklahoma is better than Colorado and just had a down week, which is to be expected since they are too good to have to show up every week. Only OSU is expected to beat teams lesser than them, for other contenders the fact that they are better than the other team is good enough. Likewise, LSU never lost to Kentucky. They are a better team and deserve the benefit of the doubt. However, every OSU loss is an example of all of their weaknesses and is to be remembered as follows: every OSU loss should be remembered for 10 years, whereas every loss by an SEC team should be remembered for two games, then its back to BCS competition baby.
3) The maxim "defense wins championships" is irrelevant. Contenders must score 35+ points a game, it doesn't matter how much they give up. A 55-35 win is better than a 20-0 win, even if in the latter the game was never in question and the opposing team never came close to scoring. Defense is irrelevant.
4) If teams from other BCS conference lose in-conference, its because that conference is so great that you expect to lose games (note, this is the Florida rule, also known as the wifebeater and jorts rule), if OSU loses a game to a non-conference opponent, its because OSU (and by rule the Big 10) is terrible.
5) Ignore NFL success and draft picks. Tennessee, Florida and USC can boast their draft picks and lucrative NFL contracts. NFL teams only draft OSU players because they feel sorry for them.
These are the rules, they may as well be respected.
