A Familiar Spot

On the heels of LSU's loss and Cal's defeat, Ohio State will be the new #1 in just about any poll with sanity. This setups up a rematch of sorts with Michigan State who, in 1998, beat the #1 ranked Buckeyes in Ohio Stadium 28-24. Oh yeah, we remember. It was the first thing that crossed my mind when time expired on the Cal Bears. The architect of that Spartan defense? Mark Dantonio.

Nevertheless, we control our own destiny which is about all you can ask at this point in the season. Most of the media hates it and I love that.

Edit (10/14): Ohio State is atop all the major polls, including the BCS, after a topsy turvy weekend of college football. The polls offered little surprise outside one writer still voting LSU in the top spot, despite losing yesterday to a team who had already lost once themselves. Makes perfect sense. Your top 10:

So, it's good to be in the top 2 but the poll means little if we don't win out. In fact, there is so much OSU angst among national pundits, a loss will send us plummeting. If you missed the BCS Show, video here.
