    Bubba probably has a higher graduation rate than FSU. Both Florida schools attract the biggest retards of just about anywhere in the country.

    Anyway, I keep getting my hopes up that Indiana will upset An Ohio State, only to have it not happen. It sucks, because it would be a lot of fun to troll Mott.

    That would have been a waste of time. There are plenty of OSU fans with insane expectations. A couple of years ago I went to an OSU vs Hawaii game and the guy sitting next to me left at halftime in apoplectic rage, completely beet red in the face, at OSU's poor play. The score was 39 - 0...at halftime!

    I'm not one of those people. I'm proud that my Buckeyes have been a consistent top 5 program but I don't wake up in a trash dumpster after a three day drinking binge if they lose a game...unlike Wacko.

    Ya gotta give those Hoosiers credit to. OSU has them totally outclassed in talent but they stuck it to the Buckeyes for half and played with heart. In the end the Buckeyes crushed them but they knew they had played a game.

    OK I have to give the SEC some credit. They actually played top teir non-conference opponents on a neutral site. This a big step from being to Chicken to ever play a quality nonconference opponent on the road but it is a baby step in the right direction. I'm not going to hold my breat that a quality SEC team would ever play home/home games against my Buckeyes. The SEC hasn't shown that level of courage yet.

    Cawacko's a riot when it comes to sports. I'm going to enjoy watching the Irish win back the Jeweled Shillelagh this year.

    I enjoyed watching Michigan defeat Florida, aside from the fact that both offenses featured only ten players and a crash dummy positioned under-centre.

    Yea Speight didn't exactly impress the first half but getting benched woke his ass up. However that team up north held what is probably the best team in the SEC east to 3 offensive points. Mich offensive and defensive line was simply dominant.

    Gonna be a tough schedule for my Buckeyes. Oklahoma looked real good, Mich and PSU are both top rate, MSU isn't probably going to lay down and die and who knows who else will rear their ugly heads in the Big10.

    My Buckeyes have a very good team but my expectations are definitely tempered.

    BTW this is my third year of buying tickets for the Big10 championship game. Got tickets on the Big10 east side of the stadium so Mich winning the east would be a worst case scenario.

    I figured this would happen when Harbaugh was brought-in, and Wisconsin, Iowa, and MSU were all playing well. Didn't expect PSU to also enter the fray.

    Alabama's offense needs some tweaking, but we did on against a very solid FSU defense.

    The Crimson Tide defense is still strong!!

    FSU had trouble holding onto the ball and special teams sucked. Bet Clemson fans are feeling disrespected.

    That UCLA-ATM game turned-out to be epic. Josh Rosen hadn't impressed me at all last year during his sophomore campaign, and I was thinking he might continue to regress, following a strong freshman year (I think he might have had an injury?). He finally came to life as ATM fell apart in the second half.

    No doubt they are. FSU certainly has the speed on defense. Hated to see the QB get hurt.

    I liked seeing Clemson getting disrespected.

    This week has some excellent games.

    I think Georgia will beat Notre Dame.

    Clemson will beat auburn.

    The OSU/OU game will be the toughest one to call. I give the edge to OSU, but it could go either way.

    USC should beat Stanford, but only barely.
