What's wierd is that Michigan is 5-1 against the SEC in Bowl games during the BCS era; including beating Florida a lot worse than the score indicated last year (the Wolverines fumbled it away twice inside the Florida 5 yard line).

Otherwise, Tressel has just as many BCS championships as anybody else (1) and has been there more often than anybody else (3 times). Ohio State was not supposed to be there during the past two seasons. Last year's team was not supposed to win the Big 10. It was a young, "next year" squad.

People say Ohio State has trouble with the read option spread offense but the Buckeyes held 2005 Texas to 25 in losing by only 25-22 during a year in which the Longhorns with Vince Young weren't held to fewer than 40 by anybody else.

If he'd won either one of the last two BCS title games he'd clearly be #1. The fact that he didn't...and particularly the reality of what Florida did to his team in the 2007 BCS title game...tarnishes him some. But I still think he obviously belongs near the top.

I mean, think about it: He's been head coach for 7 years and he's been to the BCS title game 3 times.
