You know, I feel like if I can just reach one.....

I think Ohio State is similar to ND in that they have 2 very close losses that were early enough in the year to keep them in the hunt for this BCS deal.

Tressel's conservative play calling killed them against Texas. The Horns took advantage.

I'm not sure that anyone played Penn State as well as Ohio State did up there in Mount Nittany.

Troy Smith is a leader. Put all of the off field stuff aside, he's a leader and a good football player. Notre Dame needs to focus on him and the run.

A winnable game that ND would be favored in, but probably the toughest opponent ND could wind up facing.
