re: Should non-SEC fans REALLY rest their hope in Ohio State?

I think Ohio State is the only non SEC option.

I agree. Closest thing to a top tier SEC program outside the SEC.

Playing a weak schedule however will cost them dearly in that game.

Oregon is probably second, but there is going to have to be hope that they come out hitting on all cylinders a la A&M last year or the SEC team comes out flat and causes turnovers. Certainly possible.

Teams that non-SEC fans should be hoping get their shite together = FSU or Clemson. Both have athletes that every SEC program coveted - top notch athletes. I just don't think they have the leadership to get over their one or two inexcusable performances a year.

So I'd rank them:

tOSU
Oregon
Clemson
FSU
?Stanford?
- maybe some Big-12 team out of no where with a crazy offense such as Oklahoma State a couple years ago?

Not much to choose from outside of that.
