OSU has unfair advantage in opener

[aufan59]

Ohio State's last game: January 8th 2007
Youngstown State's last game: December 9th 2006.

About a month difference between last game played, which is huge. I can't believe more people aren't talking about this advantage for Ohio State, as its nearly twice as big as the advantage Florida had over the Buckeyes.

Not that I buy the excuse, but I think your attempt at humor falls flat. I would argue that the difference between a nine month and eight month layoff between games for arguably different teams is of no consequence as compared to the difference between layoffs for the the championhip game. Whetehr or not the layoff had an adverse effect on Ohio State, how absurd is it that a team plays approximately 12 games in 14 weeks to reach the title game than does not play again for a time period equal to half a season?
