Yeah, let's not count the chickens (or Buckeyes) before they hatch.

Plus, who knows what the AP will do if Florida wins a close game but
Michigan blows away USC.

Northeastern was 5-6 this year and Duke did the donut (0-12), one of just
two teams in 1-A to do that, the other being Florida International.
But Northwestern has a history of fudging those types of games.  :sigh:

Nevada is bowl bound, or since it's in Boise maybe that's bbbbbbowl bbbbound.  

Michigan and Ohio State will be their usual top-10 caliber, and at least 
one of them may come into the season with a big chip on their shoulders.

So I agree it'll be tough.
