Some people on here are posting silly replies just to get a kick out of others. The facts are that Texas is approaching this game in as much a business-like manner as they did the Nat'l Championship against USC. Anyone thinking of a letdown due to where Texas is playing is hugely mistaken. Texas hasn't been in enough BCS games to take the game for granted. I was much more sure about this game weeks ago, but that's only because that's my nature (to start doubting as the game gets closer). I just don't see how Ohio State slows down an offense that is much more efficient than the USC offense that put 38 on the board. And the Texas defense is very underrated, not to mention 4 more weeks of tutilege under Muschamp. I will be VERY surprised if this game isn't somewhere along the line of TX (35-45 range), Ohio State(17-24 range). I'll say Texas 42 Ohio State 24. The over is most certainly going to be a strong play for me, along w/ Texas -7.5, along with a small parlay. BOL all.
I believe taxas and usc would be a hell of a game usc has a great d but i watched them not be able to stop an oregon st. offense i personally would take texas over usc if they played tom. how you can say they are not as good is laughable and i usually enjoy most of what you say. the parts of texas that is solid namely the d-line is going to give ohio state fits and would also give usc fits.
Again, the answer to this is you have kids posting from Ohio having no idea what they're talking about. Texas is every bit as talented as USC (as is Florida and OU), and each school has every bit the same amount of NFL talent. So for a kid to get on here and say that USC has tons more talent than Texas obviously has failed a few courses in his/ her life. In all honesty, the only school that can't match the schools mentioned above is Ohio State. The Big Ten is lacking talent big-time (especially in the skill positions, aside from Pryor), and Ohio State is no different. BOL all.
I agree with your ideas here but you can't ignore some simple thoughts I have. All of the offensive stats listed above don't seem to really get me that excited. Texas plays in a division that doesn't play defense. I'm supposed to be excited about them running up and down the field against teams like A & M, Tech and Okie State? Try, try again.
I do think they will have no problem handling an OSU team that simply will be outmatched and outclassed in every aspect of the game.
Should be close for the first half. Texas will wear them down and Pryor will make some mistakes.
Will be fun to watch.
Another crazy post this Texas team is as talented as the won that won the national title. The team that beat USC at home as stated i am from
ohio so definately looking at this game with no biased usc outside the coliseum would not beat a texas team this year by 20. sanchez against top teams is just not that good makes some poor throws. be realistic tom night you will see Ohio state get pounded they are slow at reciever which allows teams to man up THERE IS NO GETTING AROUND THAT.
Wel I'll be damned! We finally agree on something:lolBIG: I have to tell you the truth. I really hope Texas pounds the you know what out of Ohio State. Someone has to step up on this playoff issue as well. The BCS does nothing but create controversy and I believe there is a way to get it done without upsetting the Bowl structure too badly.

OSU chokes in big games. Who remembers LSU v OSU last year? Easy win for LSU. OSU barley stopped a shutout against USC this year. Didn't score a single offensive touchdown against Penn State. etc etc.
They just do not show up for the big show, they will play alright during the year but when it comes to showtime on a national level, they drown.

I'm a huge OSU fan and there is no way they keep this game close. The Oline is so bad this year that is the reason Tod B lost his starting job 3 games into the season. They just cant pass block so that means texas plays man coverage and loads up the box to stop the run, teams have done it all year.Pryor just is not far along enough as a passer to handle texas. And I agree Texas is the #1 team in the country and OSU should not be in this game the only reason they are there is because of money and that is unfortunate for Ohio st because they will be embarrassed yet again on the national stage. My money will be on the over LARGE, and a medium play on Texas. You will see this line go back up to 9-9' by kickoff.
