I'd really expect Ohio State to be outperforming where they should be at power rankings-wise for a while. When a new player comes into the lineup, it takes 10 games or so for the players to get used to how they want to be distributing the ball, how to rotate on defense, etc. They're just now getting that chemistry with Oden.

I remember the year that Georgia Tech lost to UConn in the title game, they started out the year 13-0 and then when Bynum came into the lineup after sitting out due to transfer rules, they looked completely lost for about a month and a half. They ended up going 7-9 in conference play and didn't really figure things out until the ACC tournament.
