Maybe because MSU beat OSU at home by only 3pts and Wisky by only 2pts, along with conquering teams like Louisiana-Lafayette at home by 3 and Boise at home by 4....while tOSU beat Michigan. MSU lost to an unranked UConn team, unranked Minnesota, lost to Indiana, & lost to Miami. OSU's losses were to Gozaga by 1pt, on the road at KState by 5, a 9 pt loss to Oklahoma on the rd, and a 10 pt loss to Baylor on the road. The other teams that OSU beat , we crushed....like 20 pt wins over NC State, Tenn, TCU, an over 35 pt win at TexascTech, etc... Probably just equal wins, but not so bad losses, IMO. But, Joe, when did OSU play Wisky? Maybe I jus forgot that one cuz Wisky is SO bad....;-)
