For Ohio State Bucks this could get fun. Last years team was the wire to wire #1 team in the nation, so sweet. what happened against florida in the BCS game should not have happened. all the experts had us starting out as 8 points favorites -- shrinking to 7.5. Our best receiver gets hurt on the 1st play of the game returning that kickoff for a touchdown, and from there it went down hill.

the defense was young, troy smith probably took a bribe to play bad, tressel didn't care that much for some crazy reason. don't know

it was the best and most balanced team i've ever seen of ohio state.

then to pour salt in the wound the florida basketball team beats us in the championship game. we could have won that if we didn't shoot 3 - 23 on 3-pointers.

this year we will probably play in the championship game again barring a stumble.

if the offense can step it up a notch we will do it.

best offensive weapon hobbles off the field every single week with an ankle injury --- Chris Wells. Wells is the best back since Eddie George (maybe maurice clarrett who only played his freshman year --- the guy was a punk and deserves to be in prison for his treason and other crap)

Any Illini, hoosier fans out there? Purdue still in it.

I've got my fingers crossed that Northwestern can make it to a bowl game. I hear El Paso is nice in December.

Lots of rich, chocolately cupcakes in the Big 10 this year. Minnesota, Iowa, Northwestern (oops MSU loltrickedu).

MSU, Michigan and Penn State have obvious weaknesses.

tehOSU should run the table. Wisconsin, Purdue (not that great imo), Illinois and Indiana to New Year's Day bowls?

2 losses for everyone not named tehOSU.

Bump for complete lack of defense in the B10 (except for tO$U, partial credit to Illinois, Penn State, Michigan).

GG Minnesota, good call going for two there since you definitely could not stop Northwestern.

GG Indiana, way to give up 50+ to MSU.

GG Purdue, you have been exposed.

GG Wisconsin, your run defense might not be able to stop Notre Dame.
