I'm not understanding your logic. This year's OSU team is not as good as last year's based on first round draft picks? Bobby Carpenter was a reach for a 1st rounder. The defense lost 9 of its 11 starters yet won 2 more games to go undefeated in the regular season. If that's not improvement, I don't know what is.

John Cooper had far more talent in 1993 & 1998 and didn't even win the Big 10 in those years. That's why he was hated by many OSU fans and alumni. Lloyd Carr is getting the same reputatoin as Cooper. Tressel has done an amazing job.

If the coaches polls are an indicator, then it's looking like Florida will be going to Glendale.
