And note that OSU comes in at 8 in the version of Sagarin's ratings that do 
factor in margin of victory (the ratings that he notes are the better predictor 
of outcomes). 

Similarly, LSU is probably over-rated at 5, but more realistically 11th in the 
Predictor ratings. 

OSU suffers for the fact that it's one "tough" opponent so far turns out to 
probably not be so tough after all. 

I would agree that if anyone has a beef with the Sagarin ratings, it would be 
with positions of Alabama and South Carolina.
