If you think Illinois is a legitimate Top 16 team, then why drop OSU all the way to 12? I know you're mad, but that's just silly. I've actually got my Top 25 done already, but I'm going to wait for the Hawaii game to put up my rankings so I can do the Top 32.

[dkgojackets]

1. Oregon
2. LSU
3. Kansas
4. Oklahoma
5. Missouri
6. West Virginia
7. Georgia
8. Ohio St.
9. USC
10. Virginia Tech

OSU needs to be punished

Illinois is a legit top 20 team. The only losses they have had this year have been against a very good Mizzou team, a mediocre Iowa team on the road, and home vs. Michigan where penalities and Kyle Hudson shot them in the foot.

Wins over two top 5 teams (especially with the win @OSU) + win over a ranked Penn St. team earlier in the year is a solid resume for a top 20 team.

I would say:

1) Oregon
2) LSU
3) Kansas
4) Oklahoma
5) Missouri
6) OSU
7) WVU
8) ASU
9) Georgia
10) VT
11) Florida
12) Clemson
13) Texas
14) USC
15) UVA
16) UK
17) BC
18) Tenn
19) ILL-INI
20) Cincy
21) PSU
22) Michigan
23) Wisconsin
24) Hawaii
25) Boise St.

I'm an Ohio State fan, but I honestly think they should be fourth behind only Kansas, Oregon and LSU. They were the dominate team for most of the season and one loss shouldn't drop them all the way to 8th or 12th. For example, Oklahoma lost to a worse team and they have played some embarrassingly close games (Iowa State).

I think it is important to judge a team based on its body of work over the course of the season and I feel that if you look objectively at the teams in question then Ohio State should be no lower than fifth.

I agree, but unfortunately, the voters are going to see a late season loss to an unranked team at home in a worse light than an early season loss by Oklahoma to Colorado, etc.

I don't see OSU falling as far as USC did, but I think they will be in the 5-7 range.

i think anyone would have a hard time putting a 1 loss ohio state team ahead of a one loss missouri team who beat the illini and who's only loss is against a top 5 team in oklahoma....i would be shocked if mizzou wasnt ranked ahead of osu

[illini43]

I love how Illinois has gained the adoration of the country solely for just this week. As a student who has been through the crap of the past few years, it is amusing that we are being used in arguments on how to rank teams considering that we were 2-10 last year... LOL
