Quick Thoughts On Ohio State's Victory Over Minnesota

On a day that is being dubbed "Upset Saturday", I believe Ohio State fans should be content with the victory over Minnesota today 34-21. While I am happy with the win, I am somewhat disappointed with the manner in which Ohio State took its collective team foot off Minnesota's throat late in the game to allow them to score two touchdowns.

Yes, I know a win's a win, and Ohio State won the game. At this moment, Ohio State is undefeated in Big Ten play, which is better than Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, and surprisingly Wisconsin are tonight. All I can suggest is Ohio State look no further than Wisconsin, who were crushing Michigan at the half 19-0 and lost 27-25 in Ann Arbor.

Something to consider - with the manner in which Alabama is presently embarassing Georgia (31-3 as I write this), is it fair to say that now Georgia has been eliminated from national title consideration? After all, Ohio State lost 35-3 on the road to USC and actually scored its 3 points at the beginning of the game. Georgia is at home and just scored a field goal.

Right now, I would bet Oklahoma and Alabama would be the top two teams in the polls. Looking at Alabama's schedule, they could be undefeated going into a game at LSU on Nov 8th. Oklahoma's next big game is on Oct 11th against Texas.
