Maybe it's just me, but I don't get all of the "Ohio State hasn't faced any team nearly as good as Penn State. Really? I think Purdue is at least "nearly" as good as Penn State, maybe better, and that game was also on the road at night as well. They seemed to handle the jitters just fine; that game was never competitive. I understand that they pack in a lot more fans at Happy Valley than at Rose-Ade, but it's not enough to close the gap between these two teams. I bought OSU at -3.5 early in the week, and I think that there's been WAY too much Penn State love during the week.

OSU is getting absolutely no respect nationally. A couple of the talking heads on ESPN said even if they go undefeated the rest of the way, a 1 loss LSU or even a 2 loss Florida deserve to be in the BCS game ahead of them.

They are overrated and the Big Ten sucks, took the money line on PSU and plan on winning it, if OSU blows them out and are for real so beit.

I predict OSU 38 - PSU 10.

But, I hope I'm wrong cuz' I want to see a good game.

Again, I may be a tad biased, but I think there is a big difference between playing at Purdue at night and playing in Happy Valley at night. Purdue and PSU are of similar caliber (see I can be unbiased), but if you look at the history of this series, The Ohio State University has a hard time against The Pennsylvania State University in Happy Valley.

Well, that was eerily accurate.

Yeah, I was a little pissed with that kickoff return or it would have been damn close.

Oh, and "toppick" for me tonight. Drinky.

Not surprised at all to see Ohio St. dominate. They are clearly #1 in the country.

OSU looked good. PSU couldn't keep up. I also really liked Oregon yesterday.

I said after OSU beat Purdue that they were better than the 2002 national championship team and wouldn't lose a Big Ten game.

Last years national championship game means nothing now and if it wasn't for the blowout everyone in the media would be all over OSU this year too.

The Big Ten may be down this year, but OSU is clearly better than anyone else right now and it's not close.

Ohio St looks great, but it's far from over - they still have Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan, so they are going to have to earn this.

The scary thing is that this year was supposed to be more of a reloading year for the Buckeyes with the eye on next season. Very exciting !

Go Bucks!
