assuming OSU finds a way to pull this out, they are definitely dropping, and rightfully so.

If they can win, not looking good, they will drop back to 7. I am already resigned to that.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about if you don't think covering the Vegas line means anything.ccrunner609;1676839 wrote:covering teh vegas line doesnt have anything to do with it

SEC wins by 1 and jumps in the polls. Buckeyes by 1...drop in the polls. Its a given.

I don't think he's wrong in this case. The committee isn't sitting there going, "OK, Baylor won by 27. Wait, weren't they favored by 32 in Vegas?"wildcats20;1676844 wrote:Look at who you are replying to

Ptown constantly brings up covering spreads like it means a thing.
If it really meant something TCU would have fallen completely out of the top 7 last week and OSU would have fallen too considering they didn't cover against minny.

Obviously a few points aren't going to matter. But when you are favored by 34 points and beat a team by 1-2 scores and were losing with just a few minutes left in the 3rd quarter, people are going to take notice. If Baylor beats Ok St by 3-4 scores like they should, they are moving ahead of OSU.Mulva;1676846 wrote:I don't think he's wrong in this case.

Not specifically, but this phrase "style points" is brought up constantly.ccrunner609;1676850 wrote:have you ever heard someone on ESPN or a major sports writer talk bad about a win cause of the spread? No

The spread says OSU should beat Indiana by 5 scores. OSU isn't beating Indiana by 5 scores. They aren't getting any "style points". When Baylor probably will by blowing out Ok St. Therefore, they will jump OSU.ccrunner609;1676852 wrote:that has nothing to do with the spread in Vegas.
Style points is nice way to put "you ran the score up" ala Bob Stoops style.

FSU hasn't lost a game in two seasons and has two teams that have lost ranked ahead of them.

OSU will likely still get to 40+ points in this game.

Minnesota close to Nebraska, if they pull off a win it would be big for OSU.

Marshall is electric with the ball, but his decision making is terrible. Why would you fair catch that punt?
