OK, so the Buckeyes haven't exactly covered themselves with glory, having been walloped by their SEC foes in the last two BCS title games. But there's no denying that Jim Tressel has made Ohio State an elite program that's played in four BCS bowl games in the past five years.

Ohio State has won three consecutive Big Ten championships and will be the prohibitive favorite to win it again this year. The Buckeyes have owned their archrival Michigan in the Tressel era, winning six of seven, including the last four. All Ohio State has to figure out is how to beat SEC teams, against whom it has a dreadful 0-9 record, including 0-4 under Tressel.
