Default Re: What will OSU-Fla spread be?

Wait, Meyer went 12-0 and won a BCS game at Utah in 2004, got screwed by the BCS, and is now 12-1 against the toughest sked in the country in the SEC, and is spotty on O? Your regional bias is showing, both are great coaches.

both are good, but the edge is Tressel

Compare what the Buckeyes did under a Krenzel/Clarett team to what they do these days. Tressel pwns.

Why the edge?

OSU went undefeated, after beating Purdue on a last-minute bomb, beat Miami [needing 5 turnovers and an alltime late horrid ref's call in OT to do so] and won their BCS game, but then so did Utah 2 years ago and won their BCS game [against an inferior opponent.]

OSU struggled to put NW away this year with vastly superior talent, does that mean NWerns 30-yr old coach is as good as Tressel?

You're making a circular argument here --- Tressel has won one, so he's a better coach. He won with Clarett, Gamble, Jenkins, Stepanovich, Jenkins, Grant, Allen, Peterson, Doss, Krenzel, Bentley, and several other NFL draftees. Do you think 4-pt come from behind wins over Purdue and Cinci and a
6-pt win over a 4 loss PSU team was that impressive with all that talent? Sounds like results-oriented thinking to me.

Barry Switzer has a couple SB rings, but I wouldn't call him a great coach. Both coaches in this matchup are very good, it'll come down to which players make the important plays on the field.
