why is Ohio State even ranked?
because they were good 30 years ago?
szrsly they've played two good teams and lost both times, how does that display merit?
Ball State has beaten teams of the same caliber as the one Ohio State has beaten and Ball State has not yet demonstrated for certain that they are worse than ranked teams like Ohio State has.
so why the fuck is Ohio State ranked way above Ball State?

BCS vs Non-BCS conference. Otherwise, yes...Ball State is better than Ohio State.

how does being in a bcs conference make your team good?
they're good because other teams from their conference were good ten years ago when the bcs was set up?

BCS's get the cream of the crop when it comes to coaches and players.
So its assumed that they're better.

Wisconsinfag here. The Big Ten is basically a mid-major conference. Penn State probably deserves top-5 status and Ohio State deserves to be in the top 25 but that's all. There are about 10 teams that would annihilate Penn State if they made it to the title game.

Fellow Wisconsinfag here. At least we won the Homecoming game.

I fully agree, we are a mid-major conference. SEC and BIG XII are far far far far far far far far better. Now I'm going to wait until Bo Ryan season starts.

Ball State would be thrashed head-to-head against TOSU. Don't be so delusional. At least the Buckeyes have two wins against ranked foes, both of which happened on the road. Ball State's biggest victory thus far was against Indiana, who is currently 3-5 and in the basement of the Big 11.

I went to Ball State.

Really? The same way OSU thrashed Ohio? Ohio is the second-worst team in the MAC, after Miami. Ball State is so much better than Ohio it's embarrassing, so the idea that OSU would thrash Ball State is ludicrous.

I could be mistaken, but I believe that Wells (the good one) didn't play in that particular game. Also, that was when Pryor was still only a backup. I would not say that the game stands as a useful predictor of current conditions.

both have lost to the only two good teams they've faced. Why does one deserve a higher ranking than the other?

Obviously it's Zambrano, given his internet addiction he's almost certainly a /sp/artan. Probably a /b/tard too.

Ohio State lost to USC on the road across the entire country with a quarterback who is the DEFINITION of "choke" (Boeckman) and without Beanie Wells at RB, which is a HUGE part of Ohio State's offensive strategy.

Since then, Pryor took over the starting position, Beanie came back, the offensive line has been changed to not be so fucking porous and the defense is finally up to par.

Ohio State had one miscue against Penn State...the fumble...which cost them the game. And giving up 13 points to that high powered offense is NOT bad.

So quit your bitching and moaning about Ohio State and USC and other teams because they're good every year, and just learn to appreciate football for what it is.

Penn State has never had a high-powered offense. The last player they had capable of outrunning a defensive lineman was Ki-Jana Carter. They have a POSSESSION offense.

Non-BCS schools need to stop their crying. There are always teams that have good records in their shit-ass conference, then absolutely fall apart. Boise State last year is an exception.

The best example that comes to mind is Hawaii against Georgia last year. Holy shit.

Utah murder Pitt in the Fiesta Bowl as well

but really Utah, Boise, and TCU should be in a BCS conference.

OK, I guess I was just trying to make the point that they hugely outscore their opponents every game they play. Granted, they didn't play anyone that great (actually, the only other ranked team they've played was #22 Illinois, and they fell HARD out of the rankings).

But regardless, they came into the Ohio State game with an average of 45 points per game, and only scored 13 (with one touchdown being a lucky break in field position). Ohio State has rock solid defense.

I'm not so sure Penn State is as good as they are ranked though, I'm sensing another Big Ten loss in the title game.

I agree

There should be some sort of BCS conference for non-BCS conference schools. They could do it like the Premiere League...the worst team in the conference gets sent back down to a non-BCS conference, and the best non-BCS team gets moved up into the BCS conference.

They set schedules so far out that it would never happen though.

solution: best non-BCS teams form superconference

Boise State
BYU
Fresno State
Gonzaga for basketball
Houston
Rice for academic reasons and baseball
TCU
Tulsa
Utah
Wichita State for basketball/baseball

Creighton and So. Illinois are better, but who else has been better on a regular basis? Bradley?

WSU have been to a Sweet 16 recently and have a good baseball program, so I picked them. I guess Creighton works geographically as well.
>> Anonymous
>>433511

Bradley went to the Sweet 16 that same year. WSU was 4-14 last year. I'm not saying Bradley's a conference powerhouse, but they're better than WSU.

SIU, Creighton, ISU, Missouri State, Bradley, WSU in that order.

The rest are terrible.
