I honestly didn't realize there was almost a full point and a half between OSU and Auburn in last week's BCS rankings. I do not see how any polls or coaches can legitimately say Ohio State is the #2 team in the nation right now, but that was definitely a big deficit to make up for in the computer rankings. Though I hate the "better to lose early than lose late" idea, I agree with you, Jonesy. No way Alabama should be #2 (which, obviously, they weren't). I wouldn't have been in the least bit surprised to see the top 5 as MIZZ, OSU, UA, AUB, FSU.
All my OSU-faithful friends like to ask what the difference between OSU's "cupcake" schedule and FSU's schedule have been. The only good answer I can give them, is "about 70 points a game"...
