The Ohio State University is ranked No. 2 in this years pre-season poll.
The Big Ten has 4 teams in the top 14 with Iowa and Wisconsin and Penn State helping to gain our conference some needed respect. If you add in Nebraska that is 5 teams in the top 14 in the nation. That is UBER impressive in my mind and telling of the kind of teams we have here in the midwest.
It seems as though the world has yet to get rid of pre-season rankings that I can only assume if they did would solve the world peace issue once and for all.
I think if you look at the rankings most will agree that OSU is right where it needs to be and maybe just maybe it earned back some of the respect it had lost and the coaches at least looked at this team and not 2006 or 2007 to base this pre-season ranking on. Only time will tell if they got it right or not but I am just glad to be ranked No. 2 right now and am ready for the games to begin ASAP.
