With Michigan on November 22nd, there is a shot that OSU looks ahead just a little bit and gets taken down by Ron Zook's very young but talented team.
Big East looking good in the pre-season poll
theorangesports.blogspot.com 8/4/2008 — It seems that most years since the three teams jumped from the Big East to the ACC someone finds a way to see the eight team conference as having some sort of problems.
