I would go as far as saying historically Ohio State and Michigan would be bigger than Florida and have the dame pull as them. With Meyer thre they will be able to recruit nationally and I think Meyer will be able to recruit the state of Florida well because of his success he had with Florida.
Personally I thought Ohio State had a lot of hype under Tressel and while I think the SEC is a little overrated (still strongest conference) I think the Big 10 is really overrated and would be weaker than the PAC-12 and the Big 12.
Have to agree. I don't know why but Ohio State seem to be one of the biggest/most popular programs in the country. Meyer could turn Ohio State into a dynasty.
I think one of the reasons why the Big 10 is so overrated is because of Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and to a lesser extent Notre Dame (if they join a conference it will be the Big 10). Those rivalries are so big that it elevates the entire conference. Plus the addition of another historic side in Nebraska makes them look better than they actually are.
Polls are out.
USA Today
1 - LSU
2 - Alabama
3 - Arkansas
4 - Virginia Tech
5 - Stanford
6 - Oklahoma State
7 - Houston
8 - Boise State
9 - Oregon
10 - Michigan State
My terrible and far to early guess at BCS matchups
National Championship - LSU vs VT
Rose Bowl - Oregon vs Michigan State
Fiesta Bowl - Oklahoma State vs Alabama
Sugar Bowl - Houston vs Oklahoma
Orange Bowl - Stanford vs Louisville
I'd go along with this but I would probably switch Oregon and Stanford. Unless Stanford slip up they should win the PAC-12.
Houston-Oklahoma could be a humdinger, might have to try and get tickets for that.
