ESPN focuses on the special teams battle in Ann Arbor this weekend. Ted Ginn Jr. really has turned around what started out as a disappointing year.

Is there a better rivalry than Michigan vs. Ohio State? And the weather just turned nasty, too.

I don’t know who this Louisville kid is, but I cannot imagine anyone playing any better defensively than A.J. Hawk is playing for the Buckeyes right now. The guy is everywhere, every play.

Hard to know what to say about beating Northwestern by more than 40 points. How many more ways can you say, “boy too bad we lost to Texas and Penn State”?

As I type this, Texas is up by 52 FREAKIN’ POINTS at the FLIPPIN’ HALF. Their visit to Columbus was probably their toughest game this year. Probably the last time Vince Young was on his backside.

I can’t decide which is the bigger outrage…the fact that the Buckeyes lost two games they should have won this year, or the fact that the BCS is such a ridiculous way to decide a national champion.

This debate over BCS vs. playoffs is not one I pay much attention to. But right about this time of year, the complete insanity of having some formula decide rankings of football teams really starts to grate. As of this weekend, the only team to really challenge Texas was the Buckeyes. Who wouldn’t want to see a rematch in a playoff? It would probably be the most watched game in the last 30 years. Instead…some guy is doing data entry right now, another guy is packing up the Texas road uniforms for Pasadena, and another guy is counting how much money goes to both teams. That’s how we decide the national champion?

There are 12 minutes left in the OSU game as of the moment I press the “publish” button on this post, and the score is 40-2, Buckeyes. The BCS takes almost every ounce of air out of such a victory.
