Buckeyes ranked 10th in USA Today poll

[James]

But the play in the Big Least. The most pathetic BCS conference.

:chuckles:

I didnt want to say that though.

The only reason WVU and the Ville are ahead of UM is b/c the only teams they have to play is each other. I personally think it's messed up to rank teams based on the projected number of wins instead of who actually has the better team, but that seems to be the trend.

Yea but UF and LSU got to play each other.

I thought that Zibowski from Dame was an awful safety. Did he all of a sudden get better?

They have to have someway to keep ND relevant this year.

Since when was he awful? He is probably the best run stopping saftey in the NCAA. One of the best punt returners. Leader on D. Not as quick as the big play saftey you are used to hearing about like Ed Reed etc..but he is a first round pick for sure.

I'd rank those 3 Loui, UM, WV.

WVU is just a team that has a lot of holes-they have amazing players at some positions, but just too many holes to fill to be a true national contender.

Since I remember seeing the back of his jersey running after players. He is a stud at returning the kicks but that has nothing to do with being a safety.

Maybe its the african safety that made him look bad a lot.

Was listening to this week's BRH, http://www.bucknuts.com/news/story.php?article=26, and they said something interesting. JT says that Boekman throws the best deep ball of anyone since he's been at OSU!!! Note, that includes Troy Smith, who throws a pretty nice deep ball. Also note that this doesn't mean he has a stronger arm than Troy, just that he's more accurate on deep balls. Still, good stuff.

He will hand off a couple of time, then do a play action deep. I think that will be a common theme this year.

How is Vernon Gholston not a captain.

Typically only seniors are captains. It is true that Laurinaitis is just a junior, but you're talking about the guy who won the Defensive Heisman last year. Was Gholston even all Conference?

He won a couple of big ten awards, one for sure and maybe an honorable mention. He will have 10 sacks this year.
