I'm sure it comes as no surprise to any one in SEC country but it's a well known fact that President Obama made Alabama lose to Ohio State in the play-offs. It is obvious to any one that no SEC team could possibly lose to……well any team, EVER.

The upside for SEC fans is the unanimous pre-season pick is pretty must the death knell for any chance the Buckeyes had of repeating.

What many don't realize is not only does a team with a creampuff schedule have a successful season but they can save their players for the playoffs. The SEC beats up each other all season long playing top teams week after week.
I was impressed with Alabama playing Middle Tennessee State, Louisiana Monroe, and Charleston Southern this year. Now to take on those powerhouses this year is just incredible.

Not looking better in uniforms though in my opinion. All black is just plan ugly for OSU. I'm for the traditional uniforms.

GG - you know how much I like the Buckeyes. I was at a function tonight at a table (in Orlando) with 2 buckeye fans. They could not explain or justify why OSU should be rated above #42. Don't shoot the messenger.

I'm confused. Your argument is there are 41 teams better than Ohio State? If that's your impression I'm pretty sure no argument would convince you otherwise. The most difficult schedule changes week to week so not sure how you'd base the rankings on that. The team with the most difficult schedule at the beginning of the season (ND) lost. Should they still be #1?

I actually want to like Ohio State but we are originally from Michigan but lived most of our married lives in Dayton, but hubby still stayed true to Michigan after all these years. Our son is a buckeye fan and my husband is Michigan all the way. My sister-in-law is also a huge Michigan fan, but her sister is a huge Michigan State fan. You can imagine how hard it is to live around any of them when these games are going on! Hubby also secretly likes Michigan State some of the time also!
