This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

You would think that Ohio St. wouldn't be serious here. by G.K.Chesterton

They have played a bunch of Big Ten East tomato cans + Tulsa (ranked 87th in ESPN FPI + the 3rd-worst team in all of FBS by ESPN FPI (Akron). The highest-ranked team they have beaten is Minnesota (55th).

The only team that beat Ohio St. (Oregon) almost lost at home last night to a bad Cal team and has gotten worse with every game since beating the Buckeyes.

BUT...in your defense, ESPN FPI ranks 3rd-overall and SP+ has them 2nd! That's amazing, given that they have beaten nobody of consequence.
