For weeks now, I've been telling friends that by the end of the season, should they beat Michigan, the Buckeyes will have likely been involved in three different #1 v. #2 games. They beat Texas when that team was #2. Michigan is now ranked #2 and plays Ohio State on November 18. If (when) the Buckeyes win that game--and it will be tough even though it's in Columbus, they will then play for the national championship in January.
I don't remember a team ever having that challenging a road on the way to the national championship. But short of some playoff system, should the Buckeyes win out these games, their #1 status will be indisputable.
I love the way Tressel keeps his team focused. That gives me great optimism for a January celebration!
I grew up in Dayton, so naturally, I'm a Bucks fan. My NFL teams, however, change with the city I live in, so I've been a Colts fan for a few years now - although there's still a place in my heart for Dem Bengals....
