regardless of ohio state not having beaten any tough opponent this season i think their defense is one of the best in the country. as long as tressel coaches a good game we can play with anyone in the country. the only reason we got throttled by florida is we didnt play our game. tressel got out coached. we didnt run the ball(except the drive where we drove down the field and ran almost every play and scored) and we didnt play aggressive defense. they played scared.
fact is college football, this season more than any, is very unpredictable. everyone was willing to give usc and michigan the national title before the games were even played and look how that turned out.
i think ohio state should get a pat on the back for not being upset by some of the cupcake teams they have played. alot of "elite" teams this season couldnt even beat their cupcake teams.
