Tressel had lots of input to this seasons schedule. No one expected the bucks to be very good they are young and lost most of the talent from last years team. Tressel felt this would be a good year to give the in state teams additional money because no not even Tressel believed that they would win the Big Ten. a weak Big ten and here they are in the Championship game.
I know this OSU has better players top to bottom than either Arkansas or Kentucky. Neither of these schools can recruit at the same levels as OSU or LSU. I also believe that this team will be very motivated unlike most of last year's team which had already graduated and were setting themselves up for the NFL. They didn't care and were not ready to play. LSU will need to bring it's A game to win.
