I agree with the first three and I think the first two are almost interchangeable.
Michigan/SDSU isn't really a big out-of-conference game, but it does have intrigue because SDSU did make a bowl game last year and because Hoke left there to coach at Michigan.
I would move the OSU/Miami game down to about 7 or 8 and move everyone else up a slot.

I couldn't disagree more. Last year OSU basically blew Miami out (had it not been for two special teams touchdowns it would have been a complete blowout). If OSU were at full strength this fall I think it would be a blowout again. However, since Tressel will not be coaching and since we will be missing four starters on offense, I think it levels the playing field and makes this game more interesting. This game and the Nebraska game are the two pivotal games on OSU's schedule next year. Can OSU win on the road at Miami without those guys, and if they do, can they win on the road at Nebraska once they're all back? That's why this is a bigger game without those guys playing than it would be with them.
