re: What would Ohio State be in other conferences?

Sorry if you can't make sense of it then.

People act as they have no speed or depth and SEC teams are full of Usain Bolt's.

They are as good as any SEC team and they are not same I formation team.

People also forget that tOSU would've have been in BCSNCG over Alabama last year.

Not even close. This is nonsense. Their defense is suspect and their offense is one-dimensional. Buffalo traveled to tOSU and lost 20-40. Buffalo then traveled to Baylor and lost 13-70. The following week Buffalo played Stony Brook and put up fewer points in regulation against Stony Brook than they did against tOSU. Marinate on that for a second.

tOSU would definitely get beat by UGA.
tOSU would definitely get beat by LSU
tOSU would definitely get beat by TAMU
tOSU would definitely get beat by BAMA
tOSU would likely get beat by Florida
tOSU would likely get beat by South Carolina
tOSU would likely get beat by Ole Miss

(2)
tOSU would definitely get beat by Clemson
tOSU would likely get beat by FSU, and that's a likely and not a definitely only because I don't trust Jimbo Fisher.

Are you actually retarded or are you pulling an elaborate troll job? If you think for a second that tOSU would beat Oregon, you should start punching yourself in the face. You deserve it.

Isn't Ohio State 6-3 in BCS games with losses to two national champions and a 1-loss Texas team that would have played for the national championship if not for a Crabtree touchdown in Lubbock with 1 second left? In the Fiesta Bowl wasn't that one of Tressel's worst squads relinquishing the lead to Texas with less than 20 seconds left after a dubious 4th and 3 conversion and a blown coverage from the 26 yard line?

In Ohio State's last three BCS bowls, haven't they held three high-powered, super-duper-athletically speedy-fast offenses to their lowest or second lowest point totals on the season? And didn't the greatest-all-time-Olympic-athlete-littered-would-beat-bottom-half-of-the-NFL 2002 Miami Hurricanes need a 40-yard field goal as time expired just to force overtime where the controversial pass interference penalty took place? Odd that the most athletic-explosive-fast team to ever suit up scored its season low point total and needed its least athletic member to tie the game against the slow-overmatched-talent-deficient Buckeyes.

Love the Oregon fans' indignant certitude, though. Echoes of the 2010 Rose Bowl.

FWIW, Ohio State has 10-plus 4 and 5 star players on the d-line, along with some productive 3-stars including a converted OG who is 6'5 330ish.

Also Ohio State has a coach who has had immediate success in four different conferences, owns one of the best all-time coaching winning percentages, has won two national championships, and put countless players in the NFL.

You have a first-year head coach taking over a program known for its unstoppable offense... that bogs down against elite opponents.

Hell, even as a big favorite in the Rose Bowl against Wisconsin, victory wasn't secured until a very unlikely fumble recovery inside your 30 with Wiscy facing 1st and 10 with a chance to tie. Meanwhile, as favorite against Ohio State, you lost outright.

I'll wait to the season's end before considering this Oregon team better than what we've seen before.

Pac12 - I think OSU can play Oregon tough and win that game; OSU has the line and LBers to stop a running game and physical corners who will come up and tackle (see Roby and Barnett vs the run game vs. Wisky. Anyone who watched that Wisky game knows the score was closer than the game since OSU went into win mode, not blow out mode in the 4th quarter. Stanford is an interesting matchup to me; not as good at running the ball as Wisky, but an improved passing game, much more balanced as a team. Not sure how that plays out honestly

SEC - The elite defenses of the past aren't really there this year (UF and Bama are good but not great - UF bc of injuries only though). OSU could score a lot of points against USCe, A&M, UGA and LSU. I don't know if they win, but a lot of games would prob turn into UGA/LSU or A&M/Bama where it is who blinks first. So anywhere from 1st - 4th in that conference or so IMO

ACC - I think OSU plays both the top teams tough, and could win both. If it's bowl game prep, I think OSU has a better chance, although Winston and Boyd aren't SO different skill-set wide than Miller

People keep saying 5 teams from the SEC would be favored against OSU in a game. 1st, did they watch the defense in the UGA/LSU game? I know the QBs are good but those WRs were wide open often. So I have no idea how anyone knows how a UGA/OSU game ends

On a sidenote, has Oregon ever beaten a marquee team that has a great defensive line? Hard for me to take them seriously when the key to shutting them down is pressure with your front.
