You're citing one game, I'm citing the entire season. Minnesota is flat out garbage. Ohio State's only challenge has been to Michigan State. They've played ten games and only had to get up for ONE game.
Miss. State, TCU, Baylor have played much tougher schedules. If you're telling me that Ohio State should be favored over TCU or Baylor, then you're saying the Big 10 is tougher than the Big 12. Now we all know that's not true.
And Mississippi State has played far better competition than Ohio State wouldn't you agree?
Ohio State isn't ranked over TCU or Mississippi State.
