I think Texas is the only challenge, but Ohio State will win by 10 points (I have been saying this for weeks), last Saturday should have shown the entire nation this. Touchdown passes on first three drives, with little effort. On the first play of the second quarter they (OSU) scored their fourth touchdown. They (OSU) then started running the ball and pulling starters out of the game.
Northern Illinois may be a Mac team, but they have a good team. They will completely dominate the Mac, especially with the high caliber running back that they have. Unlike that team from "Northern where?" that the Limphorns played.

I'm not sure if they can go all the way, but I really like their chances tomorrow against Texas, yes it's a road game and road games are tricky, I just don't think that Texas can outscore the Buckeyes (plus the revenge factor)....too much Smith and McGinn, Jr. Should be a track meet....Ohio State 37, Texas 30. Now for the rest of the season....the Iowa game will be a tough one for them as well as the last game vs the Wolverines.
But with so much balance in college football, I can see Ohio State playing for the championship even with one loss.

Texas and Penn State will be their biggest challenges, but their offense looked like they could outscore Texas. Let's be honest, North Texas isn't OSU, so Colt McCoy is going to have a much more difficult time, even with our suspect defense. And without their best defensive backs, Texas' D will have a tough time with Ted Ginn, Jr. Troy Smith won't need to run, just like he didn't against NIU. Penn State's linebackers are who I'm worried about. I hope it doesn't happen, but I can see Troy Smith getting sacked 3-5 times against Penn State, which will keep the ball out of Ginn's hands. If OSU can get past those 2, Michigan will be looking to play spoiler, as those 2 always seem to spoil each other's championship hopes, so we'll see, but I have OSU going all the way this year. Even if they lose one game.

Texas by 2 touchdowns.
They couldn't handle Texas last year in Columbus, they don't even sniff them in Austin.
Colt McCoy proved last week that he can hang on to the football well enough to allow the running game and the defense to win games.
Ohio State proved last week that their defense can't stop the running game, even against Northern Illinois.
It's still summertime in Austin. Jamaal Charles runs all over the Buckeye defense and Troy Smith melts in the heat.
I-35 North should be pretty empty at halftime so the Buckeye fans shouldn't hit much traffic getting an early start out of my state.
Hook'em !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oklahoma???? They have a wide receiver at QB!

OHIO will loose two games this year which will put them out of the top ten and out of major bowl contention. They will loose to texas, Iowa and if they are not careful, another conference team. This year is not THE ohio states year.

Texas has the best shot at beating them and Iowa will be a battle too.
