He is so calm and cool and is able to get these kids seem to go out and get the job done. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out. I really do not know how Tressel does it.

I mean, that really got out of hand fast". That's what this weekend seemed like. It was like oh LSU lost ... what? Cal too??? Anyway though, I think Michigan State is going to be just as hard as any game remaining, you can't tell me Dantonio hasn't had this game circled all year. If Illinois loses again, I bet they will lose all their steam. The Zooker isn't all that great of a motivator. http://oh-io.blogspot.com Excellent title to this post, you could have also went with “Boy, that escalated quickly… I mean, that really got out of hand fast”.

I agree on almost everything you've said. Clearly, there is no dominating #1 team this year in college football.. it's a battle of survival, and we have survived as well or better than anyone else so far this year. Have we proven that we're #1.. Not at all.. but we're the best option out of a bunch of teams with a loss and some johnny-come-lately teams. I too was hoping that we could stay on the periphery of this whole thing until the end of the year when we could sneak in.. but now that we're here, we will see what this team is made of for sure. If I was a betting man, I would bet on us going 4-1 over this ending stretch and going to the Rose Bowl.. but I think we have 5 very winnable games in front of us. Let's see what we're made of. Good breakdown. I agree on almost everything you’ve said.

I really want to be optimistic at this point. I like that our conference is soft this year. I do not have to like that we have five games through the heart of it remaining, nor that the Team Up North is quite ready to be done with the App State and "Tressel drives a Carr" jokes. I also am uneasy when teams start getting allergic to the #1 ranking en masse.
