I'm not impressed with the Ohio st offensive playmakers outside of Beanie at all and the SC o-line and WRs look way better than i was expecting.

The way you worded it made it sound like two weeks ago you were confident in USC and now you're not, that's why I asked.

Ohio St. is fine...no way they were motivated for this game.

USC has a lot of questions...beating up a crap UV team doesn't mean anything. Tosu just has too much talent.

All teams sleepwalk through opponents at least twice a year.

I hope USC beats the ever living shite out of OSU b/c I am 100% confident that USC is a legit top 2 team and I dont want OSU to get lucky and be considered a top 2 team when in reality they aren't. I like for the actual best teams to be ranked accordingly.

OSU didn't get any faster and the SEC didn't get any slower over the summer, the gap still exist and it would be a crying shame for OSU to "sneak" into the BCS championship game over a better team.

Biggest surprise for me is how the Ohio St. offensive line has looked this season. USC should destroy that offense.

maybe there's some truth to that, but they coud have easily lost today, Ohio U shot themselves in the foot a lot with the turnovers, I saw a lot of flaws on offense, I think they should use Pryor a lot more, Boeckmann is too robotic.

This could go down like Auburn in 03 or so. USC will win big over a team that pretty much chokes the rest of the year, and the media will hold up the win as the greatest win of the season for any team.

See, I don't get this logic. You obviously think USC is one of the best teams in the country, but if OSU goes to the Coliseum and beats them, the Bucks aren't?

Pryor is a true freshman everyone. Things don't happen overnight. You'll see him in new packages against USC, but he's not going to take over the offense completely.

it would take a good bit of luck(something that is unreliable against future good teams)

They need to play him a whole lot more than they did today, especially against USC whose struggled against spread QBs in the past

I'm still going with Ohio State. USC losing to Stanford last year didn't stop them from skullfricking Illinois and ASU at the end of the season. I don't understand why everyone is writing off Ohio State for looking ahead and still winning the game.
