1957 Ohio State

It's time to give the Buckeyes some love, because, well, they are No. 1 this week. Yes, really they are, even though just about everyone thinks this is a down year for the Big 10. That and Ohio State's biggest wins so far are against Washington and Purdue, teams that wouldn't exactly be called world beaters.

No. 2 is South Florida. Congrats to the Bulls, and to No. 3 Boston College.

I'm going to do a column about all this later this week, so for now I'm going to bite my tongue. The teams at the top should enjoy their rankings, and for at least one more night we should all let them and not mention things like five of the 11 remaining undefeated teams lost last week. Besides, it's a good photo.

Despite being out-gained, Ohio State pulled out a 10-7 victory against Oregon in the 1958 Rose Bowl. Frank Kremblas of Ohio State and Jim Shanley of Oregon scored the touchdowns. Courtesy the Tournament of Roses archives.
