The OSU / Texas game this Saturday should be a good one.
Aside from losing Vince Young, Texas is much the same team that won the National Championship last year, with several solid running backs and a stout defense. The Buckeyes lost NINE starters off their incredible defense of a year ago. However, this offense (Troy Smith, Antonio Pittman, Teddy Ginn, Beanie Wells, Anthony Gonzalez) is one of the best I've ever seen at OSU.
As usual, it will probably boil down to turnovers, so I hope the pressure will get to young Texas QB Colt McCoy, who will be starting his second ever collegiate game, but doing so in a prime-time matchup with the #1 team in the nation, with NC aspirations hanging in the balance.
We will see. I'm going to say:
OSU - 31
UT - 27

I always root for Big 10 teams vs. non-conference foes. I really don't "hate" any B-10 teams other than Michigan, and I don't hate them as much as I hate Notre Dame and that new planet that replaces Pluto (a.k.a. Charlie Weis).
ND was unimpressive last week. We'll see if they look any better vs. PSU, but I agree -- they probably do not go undefeated this year....
