"Baylor Rolls", score was 63-34.
"Buckeyes Survive", score was 60-35.

No bias there at all.

Cause it was true.
Baylor destroyed TT in the 2nd half, and covered while OSU let Illi (who is awful) hang around until the very end and didn't cover.
Face it, Baylor looked better against a better opponent.

Hang around? There was never a question that Ill would win this game. OSU put up 60 freaking points. When Oregon was winning by scores (most do not watch the game), the media was jerking off over them. OSU puts up 60, and they drop in the poll? I don't care what anyone says, its an absolute joke!
Bama struggles to win vs a 4-6 team? Where is the outrage there?
How good is TT? They just lost their 4th straight game. Giving up 38, 52, 49 and 63 pts in those losses. Yes, that is a quality team right there! lol

OSU didn't cover, Baylor did.
A team that was a 33 point favorite was only up 12 in the 4th.
And TT is better than Illinois.
And, Bama has the benefit of the doubt since they are 2 time champion.

Sorry, just being objective.

lol just stop it, ptown.

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

This.

Alabama getting a pass, against one of the worst teams in big time college football, is a joke.

But the media has their financial asses so far up the SEC's ass, they'll never put out anything negative about Bama.

Bama is the best team in the country. I have no qualms. That wasn't my point. 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.

Go OK State

Miss st is not one of the worst teams in "big time" football. They have played quite a few good teams tough. They aren't good by any means, just look at their schedule. Has to be the toughest in the country.

Well cool. But they're still a really fucking awful team.

MSU isn't good, but there are probably 25 BCS teams worse, including 3 in their own conference...

BTW, did anyone see this hit?

Biggest of the season, at least that I've seen.

Of course not, he plays for Alabama--roll Tide.

No, but should have been. Helmet touched face mask.

Then again, old school football, that's what you get for not fair-catching, even a kickoff.

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.

Yeah FSU is absolutely man-handling teams. Clemson is pretty damn good and they throttled them in Death Valley

Bullshit. MSU is good. Great defense that would keep them in a game against anyone in the country. And well coached.

I think in this case MSU is Mississippi State, given the context of the conversation. Could be wrong and Azu is kind of crazy.

Really? How good is Clemson really? Who have they beaten besides an unranked Georgia team in first game of season. "Damn good" teams don't get throttled that bad on their home turf.

My bad. Missed the last couple of posts about Miss St. on previous page. Apologies to Azu.

Yea, if Baylor wins out, they deserve to jump OSU, though I don't expect them to get by Okie St. and Texas.
