I think we're really jumping the gun on the OSU thing. I think they are a good team with a good shot at the title, but its way too early. I mean lets think this out, how good is Texas? We have no idea. I generally like Texas, but how many times have we seen teams get inflated with big early season wins, only to have that win be over a #20 team rather than a top 5 one later in the year. I'm not discrediting Texas, I hope they turn out to be a good team, but at this point everything is based on paper from the beginning of the year. Also, people are heralding this Notre Dame game as some indication that ND is the real deal. I'm gonna let you in on a secret, PSU is not good. They didn't look good against ND's mediocre defense, and its ridiculous that they're still in the top 25 based solely on a preseason ranking that had no hard evidence backing it. So basically I'm saying that theres no clear path to anything yet. OSU could lose to Michigan, hell they could lose to Iowa. They are far from unbeatable. Even moreso, ND WILL lose to Michigan on Saturday. I'm praying that ND, USC and OSU all lose, so that nobody gets screwed...cough, 2004, cough.
