In terms of missing personnel, the same thing was said about a missing player (was it the OSU QB? I don't remember) in last years win by Texas in Columbus. Nobody will ever know if either if those things would really have made a difference.
The fact is that they've beaten all of the teams that were supposed to give them an early on run for their money fairly decisively -- with this past weekend at Iowa being anticipated as their big test. Playing, and beating, three nationally ranked teams in the first four or five weeks is pretty impressive. Say that the other teams are weak if you will, but there has to be some reason for their standings.
Ohio State may not run the table -- and the Michigan game is always a toss up -- but I think the Buckeyes are for real and could end up national champions.

Oh yeah, I totally agree........and I really don't know why they didn't play Troy Smith the entire game last year.....really odd to me as well.
