In your attempt to be a "fair" Buckeye fan, you are sounding idiotic.

But I still find it funny that nothing was mentioned, no media, no TV people criticizing their game and how "few" they won by? Nobody gets a pass though. If that's the case, OSU has won 22 straight games. I don't care how poor the competition is, that he one hell of a feat at this level. To not have an off day, getting everyone's best shot each week..it is what it is. Does OSU get a pass? No. All we hear is Mark May ripping their ass on TV and even the broadcasters on ESPN doing the same.
WE all know the Big10 is not that great. But is the ACC that much better? Why aren't we hearing the media rip on FSU schedule? Oh wait, they beat one decent team in Clemson, so we will I fact give them a pass! When in fact, the Big10 in most conference rankings is higher than the ACC. So what happens when MSU wins out, plays OSU in the title game and OSU rips their ass? Will OSU get any credit for that? I doubt it. All we will then here, is how overrated MSU was. Did we hear that about Clemson? No. Its bullshit, period.
I have OSU 3rd in my book, right where they should be.
And I think Ok St beats Baylor, so it will be a non-issue. But, let's say Baylor wins out, their SOS will be higher, and voters will see them passing the eye test, playing better against better opponents than OSU. I am just saying what most voters are thinking.
On FSU, the thing that separates them from OSU, even with a down ACC, they destroy people. OSU does not. FSU closest game was a 14 point win in Sept. They blow everyone out, 59-3 the last 2 weeks, and 41-14 the week before that.
OSU has only done that twice recently, (Penn St and Purdue) and again did not cover last night.
Bama is Bama. They have earned the right to have an off week. That is just the way it is. Until someone beats them, they are top 2.
OSU may have won yesterday, but if they had won, say 60-21, this is a whole different discussion. Instead an awful, awful Illinois team scored over 30 against the number 3 ranked team.
Don't get wrong again, OSU is 3rd right now as Baylor still has a lot to prove. And, I think OSU heads to the Rose Bowl and wins it. All I am saying is, they are not 1-2 and the result yesterday fueled the fire that OSU is great, but not elite.
