We had one of these last year and it worked out pretty well. Gave us sports fans something to talk about and argue over lol.

I think they have Florida State and Boise ranked a little too high but again doesn't really matter, whole lot of football ahead of us. Can't wait til the first game

[SpaceGhost]

Florida State has a pretty good recruiting class this year at #2 just above Michigan at #3.

[Guest Hal]

OSU is ranked about right for having a new head coach and missing some of our best players. I'm going to go out on a limb and say OSU still finishes in the top 10. You read it here first.

[SpaceGhost]

In other news The Big Ten will play 9 confrence games starting in 2017.

[AWW$HEEET]

I agree w hal, we'll be a top 10.

[Rustlestiltskin]

Will michigan beat OSU this year? Stay tuned for college football 2011-2012 season folks

[Jizzle Juice]

No Michigan will not win!

 

Im going to agree with hal as well.

Doubt it. OSU is still easily the most talented team in the Big 10 and by the time OSU and Michigan play OSU will have everything ironed out. Michigan is still going to be terrible on defense this year and their offense might even be a little screwy as Borges tries to work with Rich Rod's system players.

[Buckeye1647545503]

O-H!

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

I-O!! I think there will be a running back by commitee approach this season with the a solid running game, great defense and qb that can do just enough to win, oh wait is this 2002?

 

Florida State has the #1 class for 2012 right now, but a long ways to go. Michigans class is so over rated that its not even funny. Oh well they will enjoy more years of losing to tOSU so it doesnt matter. Although I would like Michigan to become a top 10 team again, makes it more fun to watch OSU beat em that way

[oh8sti]

National champ run(if not sanctioned) this year.

You heard it hear first. Emotion is the driving force behind championships, there is a lot of that at the woody these days.

[Jizzle Juice]

Oh and since i work every saturday ima need updates on the games in real time please TIA

It's not so much that they're overrated, it's just that they have more committed players than just about anyone right now. If you sort by star average they're barely top 10 and OSU isn't far behind even with one hand tied behind our backs in recruiting right now.

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Yeah thats what I was trying to get at, just didn't come out in the right manner lol. Ohio State is still in the running for a top of the elite talent out there, most are waiting to see what sanctions if any will be imposed. Feburary (National signing day) is still a long ways away

[AC66Bronco]

GO BLUE!!!

 

oh wait what????

 

:lolguy:

[SinisterSS]

South Carolina and Notre Dame are a bit high in the polls, not sure why

[h22 yo]

you guys really think osu is going to do well? smh... who as quarterback? etc.... not a chance.

 

and id still pick wisconsin or msu over osu in the big ten

[phil]

Oregon will run through the

PAC 10 sec will win the nc again osu will win the big 10.

[Kryptok]

Idk about OSU, I'm a pretty big fan of OSU but I have a gut feeling we won't make it top 10 or even win the big 10. I could be wrong! But just my gut feeling..

[oh8sti]

One of the best defenses in the nation. Just sayin...

[airwg2189]

Oklahoma wins the national championship.

That's what I'm really thinking about. I see a lot of low scoring games this year, but they will be physical.

[slow spec v]

Cant wait for the Nebraska vs OSU game!

[Trouble Maker]

I loved college football at a point in the past. I'm trying to find any reason to care at all and coming up empty handed.
