This guy leans on shock value in his "writing"...He's basically the Howard Stern of Sports Journalism. It's reflective of a lack of true skill in his craft if you ask me. A little bit of research unveils just how impressive Ohio's accomplishments actually are this year. Why bother though, when you can just rip something apart from afar and stir up the uneducated masses?
I wouldn't say he doesn't do his research, as that website is one of the more detailed you will find when it comes to college football. Not quite as in-depth as Phil Steele might be, but certainly not as bad as some others I've come across. I just think he puts the BCS conference teams ahead of non-BCS teams because that's what drives the masses and ratings. If he were to sit on his website and talk about non-AQs all day, his website wouldn't be visited as much as it is. That being said, and as I said in my original post, I doubt he has looked closer than the box scores and recaps from the Associated Press.
I don't think Ohio is necessarily as good as people think, because the last three weeks have definitely shown that we are lacking some areas. But if you're undefeated at this point in the season eight weeks in, that's pretty impressive and deserving of a ranking, regardless of who you've played or how you beat them. That's the only thing I was upset about.
