Well, that was easy.

That was a dominating performance by Ohio State. Top to bottom they were simply the better team, and yes, Troy Smith was great. Under control, precise, everything he had to be to win a big game on the road. He didn't dominate the game by any means, but he did control it, and sometimes that's just as fun to watch. I would say that OSU is definitely worthy of their number-one ranking for the time being. The test will be avoiding a slip-up between now and December. There will definitely be some scares, and I still think the Buckeyes look like a team that could end up with a loss somewhere down the road. This really could be the year that the BCS explodes. Can you imagine if OSU, Texas, USC, Auburn, Notre Dame, LSU, and West Virginia all finished with one loss? My fingers are crossed...except for the SC part.

In a side note, nice to see the fans in Columbus rise to the occasion as well. Another very strong performance.
