Are the Ohio State Buckeyes under estimated?
Honestly I think they are overrated. I do not think they will run the table, and thought Penn State, even though I love Paterno, was over rated as well. I think the whole BCS thing is garbage because they can look at the schedules and then tip the scales how they want. If they do not want Boston College to be #1 they give a higher ranking to Ohio States next opponent, etc. They ahve done ths for years with the Miami and Florida State situations and almost any SEC team running at the top. Then they can say that they beat 6 ranked opponents. Only a playoff will determine true #1 status.
They are ranked number one and they have a pretty easy schedule in front of them, so barring a freak loss, they are going to finish the season number 1. They are not under “rated”. Now as for under “estimated”, maybe. Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan hope they can beat them, but I don’t think they are underestimating them. Except for MSU, they haven’t won a game by less than 15 points. They win out, there in the BCS Championship game. They lose to Michigan, UM wins the Big Ten and no Big Ten team is in the Championship.
