Great post, Marc D. Great post.
I have heard several times this week national radio guys, say things like if Washington beats Ohio State it just goes to show how much of a problem the Big Ten has, and how it is in decline. The have called out the Ohio State defense as slow, just like the rest of the Big Ten. It will also show a resurgence of the Husky program and how far the PAC10 has come. Now that is where the line has been crossed. Ohio State is definitely overrated in terms of the polls right now, but I would not call them slow on defense. They are untested but I see more speed on the defense and much better safety play compared to the end of last season. I have been predicting a Washington win for awhile now, but mainly because they are taking such a young group on the road. These far reaching statements about conferences are out of hand. Lets be fair here Washington, beat a HORRIBLE Syracuse team, and a rebuilding Boise State team that did not have any experience at QB, and about one third the defensive talent Ohio State has. They don't have anyone even close to James Laurinitis on that team. I don't see Locker beating Ohio State with his legs. This game will be decided by the Ohio State offense good or bad.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
This might be the only day I've ever rooted for Notre Dame. I want Michigan stomped while they are down.
