Every team in the top 10 outside of Iowa beats Florida. And Ohio State is the biggest threat to Bama by a country mile. I don't care how uninspiring his team looks in the regular season. Urban takes his game to a completely different level in the bowl season. There's no question in my mind Ohio State will soundly beat any team they face in the playoffs that isn't Bama.

Yeah, because when Meyer had the deepest and best roster in the history of college football in 2009, returning every starter from a defense that beat the snot out of the 'greatest offense ever' from OU, and had Tebow, Pouncey brothers, etc - he did a great job with that team and managed to push their performance down to the level of competition in many games and then got stomped by Bama in Atlanta.

Meyer can only function when he's the underdog.

OSU hasn't played a ranked team, 10 weeks into the season. How is that possible? I can't recall an SEC team, ever, going ten weeks without a ranked opponent.

OSU could very easily go on a 3 game losing streak to finish the year.
