And the loss did come, after all, to my preseason #3 in a game which was pretty close until Ohio State lost their composure. For now, the Buckeyes remain in my top 10 but need to fix their offense to stay here. Might I suggest running more, perhaps even with actual running backs? Mike Weber and J.K. Dobbins average 6.3 yards per carry on 16 rushes, and both running backs averaged more yards per carry than OSU averaged yards per pass attempt. Yeesh. Play to your strengths, people!

Bill3ffinMurray	8	The young secondary was exposed against a talented QB. I wasn't too surprised to see Oklahoma win last night, but I was surprised to see JT Barrett struggle as much as he has this season. It might be a time for a QB change in Columbus.

jmac_21	9	Ohio State's front 7 is still legit, I believe that. They have enough 5 star recruits on that squad, they'll turn it around after this week and become a great team again. Meyer coached teams always do.

CarbonCamaroZL1	10	-7 spots (previously 3). 1-1 Ohio State got embarrassed on their own home field. Looming offensive issues remain an issue in the Toilet Bowl and they continue to flush points down the drain. Their secondary needs a second wipe as well. They still remain in the Top 10, but barely.

xelphin	10	Fell very hard to OU, but given the quality of their loss, they only drop 2 spots. They are still going to be a very quality team this year, but they seemed to be very out-of-focus in the OU game and truly did not look like the OSU of two years ago.

gohuskies	11	It's always weird figuring out where teams should drop to this early in the season when they lose to another *probably very good team. I don't know how they are above FSU in the AP poll - OSU lost at home to a lower ranked team, and while they beat Indiana week 1, did not look great doing it.

Rainbow_Beefcake	12	Ohio state with their best florida gator impression. Dominating defense that eventually gets worn down from supporting their lackluster offense all game. Still a great team, but if they can't develop some semblance of a passing attack, then they won't be able to compete with the big dogs this year. But hey, they've got Urban Meyer, so they could certainly turn it around. Also, I just want to state for the record that I don't think Ohio State's failures are on JT Barret. The guy's not getting any support.

WhiteBaseCoat	18	Ohio State manages to grab a handhold rather than hurtle into the abyss of the unranked because I happen to think that Indiana is going to perform well above expectations this year. Again, I don't want to use preseason/personal expectations quite this much, but on paper the Hoosier defense should be really good, and they seem to have a really strong passing game. They've got a lot to prove, but I'm willing to say this is a good win for Ohio State at the moment.
