More of this please: So why, exactly, in hindsight, was Oregon’s win at Virginia on September 7th so great that it meant moving Ohio State out of the No. 2 spot? What, exactly, did Ohio State do to not only be out of the top two, but out of the national title picture entirely now without a lot of help? I’ve been openly anti-2013 Buckeye from the start of this season. I wasn’t sold on the defensive front seven, I think the secondary is overblown, and I think the team is still a year or so away from the talent to really kick in, but that’s an opinion. The fact is that on September 6th, Ohio State was ranked second in the Coaches’ Poll – and the AP poll, but that’s irrelevant – hosted a San Diego State team that, unlike Virginia, will end up in a bowl, and won 42-7. And for that, the Buckeyes dropped to No. 3 on September 8th.
