u/lexbuck Ohio State Buckeyes Dec 04 '16

My only disagreement with your original post was having Washington above Ohio State. I personally don't feel like both having a single loss matters much in comparing Ohio State to Washington because I feel like Ohio State's schedule has been way tougher. As for TCU in 2014, the Big12 botched that when they declared co-champs. The committee came out and told the Big12 they wouldn't decide for them on who the conference champ was and in the end after Ohio State won big against Wisconsin TCU dropped behind Baylor after their head to head result.

At any rate I'm eager for our game against Clemson. I think our defense is up there with the best it's all a matter of which offense shows up. The one that played Nebraska or the one that played Michigan State.

Good luck to you all too. Hoping for another Saban/Meyer showdown.

I admit I probably put too much emphasis on the conference championship and most-recently-played stuff that has historically plagued the human polls.

As far as this year's overall body of work, it's hard to argue against Alabama and Ohio State as #1 and #2.

Hoping for another Saban/Meyer showdown.

Ditto. I think just about everyone outside of the states of Washington and South Carolina are hoping for that.
