Hi Kent, glad you enjoy the blog. Yeah, OSU is overloaded for sure! I was thinking that your defense would get an upgrade with the former Ohio State cornerbacks coaching taking over as D-Coordinator. That hasn’t happened yet, but give him time, he’s a good coach.

Bomar, that’s an interesting subplot, didn’t know about that one, thanks for bringing it up.

Re. the winning %, it’s the full season’s opponent’s current win percentage, not just the clubs they’ve played to date. Sorry for the vagueness. Cheers.

Oops…although technically I am still correct, the OSU Cowboys have an upcoming game with the Sam Houston State Bearkats (what is a Bearkat?) who happen to be a Division 1 Championship Subdivision team. I just hope that we avoid a “Michigan Meltdown”.

BTW, Sam Houston State has the former OU Sooner quarterback, Rhett Bomar. It might be an interesting game after all.

Hello,
I thought it might be hard for the following to be true after just 4 weeks of the season… unless the Buckeye’s opponents started playing in July:

“Buckeye opponent’s records after the fourth week, 32-16, a respectable .667 winning percentage.”

So, I checked…it’s actually 9-7 for a .563 winning percentage.

Oregon State University opponents this season have a 10-5 record for a .667 winning percentage.

My alma mater, THE OSU located in Stillwater, Oklahoma, has an opponent’s winning record of 11-5 for .687 winning percentage. In addition, the OSU Cowboys did not play against an opponent from the former 1-AA division now known as the Division 1 Championship Subdivision as did the other 2 OSU’s.

Clearly, we need to redefine which school is the REAL OSU. I vote for my Cowboys!!

BTW, I really like your blog!
