One could argue that everyone except Georgia is overrated.
yeah, this is kinda where I'm at. I'll start buying in Michigan as a threat for the title if they go on the road and beat Ohio State. right now, not a believer.

I have argued extensively LSU is overrated.  

Somebody is going to prove me right, even if it is eventually Georgia.  

I'm still going to pick against them every week, starting with Arkansas.  This is the most severe sustained case of punching above your weight class I've ever seen.

Georgia was overrated just 3 weeks ago.  
I've always found it funny how time has such a grip on us all.  At least nowadays, WHEN you lose isn't nearly as important as it once was.

well they definitely were sleep walking vs Mizzou and even in the 2nd half vs Kent State. Aside from that- they've pretty much kicked the ever loving shit out of everyone they've played.

I'm not sure what looking at UM and OSU's rushing output vs Rutgers does for anything.  But look at the best defense they've faced:
UM could run on Iowa and OSU couldn't.
Then you look at the defense one of them destroyed on the ground:  PSU
UM embarrassed them, OSU held under 100.
Looking at the average defenses they've both mauled isn't very useful:  it IS the bath water.
.
I guess I should have been more specific and said OSU can't run against a good defense. 
And to be fair, just because they haven't doesn't mean they can't.
But taking in all the information, does anyone believe they'll run on UM?  If you can't run, you're one-dimensional.  If you're one-dimensional, you're right where the DC wants you to be. 
.
So in lieu of all that, I shorthanded it with "OSU can't."  And that's my error.  I deeply apologize.

TCU is a 7.5 point underdog vs Texas this Saturday. Wow. The disrespect.

I'm not as sold on the Dawgs as some others, probably because I listened to Larry Munson all those years.

I thought PSU hung pretty well with OSU, but it was on the road.

I'd rather see TCU and a 11-1 PAC12 champion in the playoffs rather than a second SEC or Big Ten team.

PS.  Ohio State can run the ball well enough.

Penn State was at home. And yeah it was a really close game, til towards the end where OSU just made some huge plays on defense to flip the game.
