RB Nick Chubb Knocked Out Of Georgia Game With Horrific Knee Injury

Ohio State beat Indiana, who was undefeated at the time with wins over Southern Illinois, Florida International, Western Kentucky and Wake Forest.
 
It's interesting to see you mixing and matching terms to describe teams. OSU isn't overrated because they are "experimenting". But LSU hasn't played anybody? WTF... who has OSU played? But it's ok because they are "experimenting".

It's pretty simple actually. Ohio State proved themselves when they whipped Bama'a *** and then Oregon for the Championship last year. They return nearly everybody from that team whereas teams like Bama, Oregon, and Florida State lost most of their best players from last year.

LSU was a 5 loss team last year. LSU hasn't proved anything other than Fournette is really good. They only good team they played, Miss State, gave them a hard time. Their QB has fewer than 10 completions in 3 of 5 games. He was 4 of 14 passing vs Eastern Michigan.

So, yes, i have no idea how good LSU is and neither does anybody else if they are honest. We will find out more this weekend against Florida.


You also missed the part where i said i don't know what to expect of the Michigan vs Mich State game for pretty much the same reason as LSU. Unlike Ohio State, MSU is not the same team as last year. They are significantly different and i'm not sold on Conner Cook as a great QB.

Seem to me that i am applying the same standards to Big Ten teams as SEC teams. In other words, i wait to see things on the field and i don't just buy hype.
 
Vegas has Ohio State 8th and Michigan State 9th...

People are going to have to re-configure their thinking when it comes to the polls...because the way the committee ranks them is completely different. The committee's rankings are based on what you have done vs the teams you have played THIS YEAR. To me, that makes Utah #1...Vegas has them at #5 behind

1 - Baylor
2 - LSU
3 - Alabama
4 - TCU

the rest of their Top 10:
6 - Florida
7 - Michigan
8 - Ohio State
9 - Michigan State
10 - Stanford

That's last year...

Ohio State is clearly not the same team they were last year. They may have the same players and the same coach...but they are NOT the same team. There are apparently chemistry issues and there are definitely execution issues. This is the exact same thing that happened to Urban Meyer's 2009 Florida team.
 
The power rankings have Utah at 1, OSU & Clemson tied for 3rd, Michigan 9 and MSU 11.

I'm really looking forward to the Michigan/MSU game. I hope I don't pass out before kickoff.
