    They beat two ranked teams and held them under like, 70 yards rushing.

    No, that's fine. I totally get that. I'm just shocked; I thought they'd played at least three games. I suppose you could prepare quite a bit for an opponent with an extra week to practice. Let's see how they do next week before calling them legit. But they are playing great right now.

    OSU's schedule:
    They get Arizona next, if they can contain that spread option attack then they could be legit. Their schedule seems managable expect for Stanford and Oregon at the end of the year.

    I see OSU finishing third with perhaps 2 or 3 loses. Coach Riley keeps his job and they get a decent bowl game against a team like...Oklahoma or Va-Tech

    I think Riley is a "NICE GUY!!" but he's affable and you need edge to be an elite coach! OSU will always hover a tad over 500 with a coach that's an " AW SHUCKS GUYS, kind of man!" Great as a friend, but football is war and warriors only need apply!

    I'd like to see the Ducks at #3 and let LSU or Bama fall first to each other before we take either of their spots.....

    So happy for the win, but I'm not sure the Ducks really looked liek the second ranked team in the country? They were darn lucky not to be down by 3 scores early

    Well they got off to a slow start, then dominated in the second half shutting out one of the best offense(thus far) in the country.

    LSU barely held off Auburn, who is a shadow of it's former self

    There are few coaches that get as much out of low talent levels as Riley.

    Considering OSU's defense, I think that's a fairly good possibility. Not to mention Mannion's grown up as a QB and has two good WRs to throw to.
