I’m not worried too much about what the Mark Mays are saying, because at the moment, their assessment may not be that far off. We might be the best team in the country at this point, or we might not be. Given our schedule so far, it’s a little hard to say.

That’s the most interesting thing — and also the scariest thing — about this season. We look good, but against what level of competition? The road wins are always nice, but I think it’s pretty clear we haven’t been tested yet. That’s going to change here in the next couple of weeks, and by the time Wisconsin comes into Columbus, we’re going to have a much better idea of what we should expect for the rest of the season.

Another parallel with 2002: There were plenty of doubters then. But as long as we keep winning, they have less and less to talk about.

I too have been holding my breath, wondering if I acknowledge the uncanny similarities if they would magically disappear.

Don’t forget to add the fact that no analyst thinks that the Buckeyes deserve to be in the championship game. I am getting awfully sick of that shtick.

Hey, if you are buzzing down to C-Bus sometime, you should stop by. We live in Ashland now, right on the way. I still have the Michigan game TiVoed from last season. My hubby would love to meet you!
