I don't think anyone is saying the Buckeyes are the greatest team ever, but you have to acknowledge what they've accomplished. Why does it seem like they're always playing weaker opponents? Because they're good. Similar to the Patriots, or maybe the stealers are a better comparison, they just win. Not a lot of flash. Not a lot of spectacular highlights. They were humiliated in the National Championship game last year, but they WERE there. Other than that, when was the last "bad loss" for them? I guess my real question is, who really deserves to be considered a better team since Tressel was hired. Even if you can make a legitimate case for 1, 2, even 3 or 4 teams, you have to give the Buckeyes their due. Don't you?

ThurmanMunster Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 [quote name='oldschooler' post='573516' date='Oct 19 2007, 10:28 PM']What does Akron have to do with Ohio State`s ranking ? USF has played Elon, Central Florida and Florida Atlantic. Every team has a few cupcakes on their schedule. Ohio State has beaten every team on their schedule by a combined total of 250-39. They beat Purdue at Purdue by 16 points, and Purdue was ranked in the top 25 at the time. And that was their closest game. They beat Washington at Washington. And Washington had beaten Boise State when they were ranked #22, the week before they played Ohio State. Who else should be #1 ? Boston College ? A team with a loss ?[/quote] OSU is the # 1 team right now, but they DIDNT deserve it last week. That was the whole point of this thread. When both teams were undefeated, USF had a far tougher schedule and much more significant wins (by beating good ass teams). If you cannot see that point, then you are a blind homer (not directed at you specifically, oldschooler). They are the # 1 team now (deservedly so), but they were NOT the # 1 team last week.

CTBengalsFan Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Why are you guys so concerned over who's #1 or #2 in the middle of October? It's arbitrary, and in the end, meaningless. Only when all the regular season games have been played can you argue about who should be ranked what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
