I'm inclined to both agreed and disagree with you. Being a believer in Tressel's coaching prowess, I would contend that he would prepare better for WVU than what he did for Illinois. Yet, he had a BUNCH of time to prepare for Florida, and, unfortunately, I was there in person to see just how easily OSU was dismantled. Chad, I think, brings up good points in alluding to the athleticism of WVU; all things being equal, I think I'd rather that OSU play someone other than them.
Chad, yeah, I thought USC looked impressive as well. If Oregon should lose to Oregon State, and USC beats UCLA, then, I believe, OSU and USC would play in the Rose Bowl (in the event OSU doesn't make it to the title game).
