Believe arizona had a 36 point 4th to pull it off.

Yeah, hail mary as time expired. But still, Cal was 0-11 with 10 double digit losses against "FBS" teams last year, and most of them were by 20+.

Buckeyes don't play and drop 2 slots to #20. Virginia Tech's loss to Georgia Tech of course.

It's early....not a ton of info. VT sucking is slightly hurting the Buckeyes and it should.

True. It is early, the polls don't really matter anymore, and the Buckeyes have already shot themselves in the playoff foot.

Still, it continues to amaze me how much anti-Ohio State feelings there are with the voters. Maybe it's deserved. I dunno...

When they play and beat out of conference opponents worth a damn (or join a conference that has some respect) then they will start to get the kind of respect many people want.

Until then nothing will change.

Ohio State will never change conferences because Ohio State IS the B1G.

I agree. It should look something like a large outdated mammoth just for shits and grins.

Those just in front didn't lose and a few behind them beat legitimate teams on the road....

I would keep dropping them slightly as well.

Not exactly a bold prediction.

Kinda like me saying, "Hey keep your eye on a golfer called McIlroy. I think he's a good one. Oh look, I was right."

It's really beginning to feel like Michigan is just done as a top program. You can only say it's a slump so long. They'll probably fire Hoke after this year, bring in someone that's been passed up by the true major schools, and finally resign themselves to having their ultimate goal be making a New Year's Day game.

Hoke is as good as gone. Harbaugh is sick of the ownership in San Fran. He's the next Coach in Ann Arbor.

Colin Cowherd was talking about it this morning with Pollack. Said no chance Harbaugh wants to go back to college and if he leaves SF he'll have any job he wants

The only reason I could possibly see it is that I believe Harbaugh is a control freak, and college would enable him to run every aspect of the program from top to bottom. He definitely seems like more of an NFL guy, though.
