Hopefully this, together with the phony scandal, will motivate the team to crush OSU in the Big House! GO BLUE!

They apparently weighed S.O.S. really heavily.

based on Sagarin's SOS rankings, the top 5 above would go: OSU, FSU, Wash, UM, UGA.

FWIW, in his rankings, Alabama is 3rd and has the toughest SOS of any top 10 team by far.

I'd prefer putting that 100 up on OSU that Day was threatening to put on Michigan.

it's a nice thought, but I'm actually more concerned about OSU's defense this year. they seem to be a bit improved.

But they said the same thing last year, and they're always statistically very good, and our OL doesn't appear to be the steamroller they were the last 2 seasons. It'll come down to whether JJ can beat them.

Meh. I'm not sold on their defense yet. I do think they're better but that's a pretty low bar. I agree the line isn't as good but JJ beat them last year and he's significantly better this year.

As far as the rankings, I'm not surprised they're at 1. They have the best strength of record in the country. I think their quality wins are overrated. It also took multiple significant gaffes from ND for them to win that game. So while I agree they have the best resume I think there's some smoke and mirrors and I don't think they'll be able to cover for McCord when they play Michigan.
